Yeah…that’s Sauron.

So basically don’t be stupid when on a network you don’t control. I mean I would think that would be common sense by now. Just because you’re on a VPN doesn’t mean that the local network doesn’t have some semblance of capabilities.

And maybe I read it wrong, but perhaps don’t use DHCP on a network you don’t control. Wouldn’t that wholly mitigate this?

I get that this is concerning for people who don’t know any better. But I don’t think it’s as devastating as the title makes it sound.

Well I guess I’m done with SO now.

Ah, Lunduke. No thanks.

Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.

I’ll grab the popcorn while I watch the dumpster fire of what Microsoft is doing to Windows, from the comfort of my Linux-running system.

Obligatory BTW I use Arch.

Yet it’s worse than fascism. It’s oligarchy + fascism. People have money tied to it which leads them to double down on all of it.

These workers were fired simply because it could hurt the stock price. And since the US has subpar labor laws, and half the voting populace who seem quite happy with fascism, the country is quite screwed.

Yes, I said this in my post. Satellites do it, there’s no reason it can’t be done on the moon as well to keep in sync with Earth UTC. It’s math and physics — a problem that has already been solved.

Of course. But there is no reason Lunar time couldn’t be kept as UTC.

It all has to do with how we perceive time and humans are notoriously bad at it (most people seem to hate the idea that 12pm could mean middle of the night…they must have 12pm equal to sun high in the sky).

For the moon, though, the only issue would be with how UTC is calculated on the surface of Earth, which will have a time offset to play in with respect to the moon, in order to keep in sync with Earth-UTC (similar to how electronic satellites like GPS have to calculate).

Mozilla Firefox 124 Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New

This release updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API.

by Marius Nestor March 18, 2024

The Mozilla Firefox 124 open-source and cross-platform web browser is now available for download ahead of its official unveiling on March 19th, 2024, so it’s time to take a closer look at the new features and improvements.

Mozilla Firefox 124 looks like a small update that only updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API to prevent devices from dimming or locking the screen when an application needs to keep running.

This release also adds support for using HTTP(S) and relative URLs when creating WebSockets, as well as support for the AbortSignal: any() static method, which takes an iterable of abort signals and returns an AbortSignal (more details are available here).

For Android users, Firefox 124 enables the Pull to Refresh feature, which is now more robust than ever, by default and adds support for the HTML drag and drop API when using a mouse, which accepts plain text or HTML text by the drop operation from external apps.

For macOS users, this release uses the fullscreen API for all types of full-screen windows, promising a better match to the expected macOS user experience for full-screen spaces, the Menubar, and the Dock. If you want to disable this feature, you’ll need to set the full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen preference to false in about:config.

During public beta testing, Firefox 124 also offered the long-awaited Cookie Banner Blocker feature that instructs Firefox to automatically refuse cookie banners for you and the Quick Actions feature that lets you quickly perform various actions from the address bar. However, these features were available up until the sixth beta version and they aren’t present in the final release.

As mentioned before, Mozilla will officially announce the Firefox 124 release tomorrow, March 19th, 2024. Until then, you can download the official DEB package for Ubuntu/Debian distros or tarball binary from Mozilla’s download server.

I so want to see Reddit die. I browsed the site for the first time in 2007. I adored it. Now it is nothing but a cesspool of morons trying to find an echo chamber for their idiocy, led by king of the morons, Spez.

It’s time for better competition in this space and the Fediverse is one step toward that goal.

Sadly I’ve found a few of those on Lemmy already. What I’d prefer is the internet of the 1990s when it took effort to figure out and the masses were too lazy or dumb to do so.

And that sweet, sweet dialup modem sound.

Would love to see this become the fastest IPO to tank.

Good.

Yes except his character flaws make him a terrible fucking human. But you can keep trying to justify his behavior and beliefs just because you happen to like SpaceX or Tesla or whatever. Won’t fly with many of us.

Oh look…another feature no one asked for from a company no one cares about anymore.

So tired of seeing that logo and articles about the shitshow that moron turned the company into.

I guess idiots can have plans, even if it’s wasting billions of dollars to get rid of “wokeness”.

Good.

Shocker

I mean look on the bright side. It’s Musk’s sycophants who would line up to die for something like this.
