In modern language the way language is used and perceived determines its meaning and not its origins.
So we should start calling monitors computers, desktop towers modems (or CPUs (or hard drives)), wifi as internet, browsers as search engines and search engines as browsers. None of this is incorrect, according to the average person.
privacy-preserving infrastructure for data sharing between advertisers and publishers
I haven’t received this copy of newspeak yet.
Web standards have been made so needlessly complex that a paid team of full time professionals has become an unspoken requirement to build a functionally complete web browser. I believe that the entities who guide web standards knew this, and had done so deliberately to push out competition from collaborative volunteer projects that were once long ago possible.
The sane way is to allow all sites only to load the main HTML document. Sites that get return visits and have earned some trust get to have their CSS loaded.
You will never see another advertisement “jump around” again
I use uMatrix btw
I’ve been wondering if it would be better if Hill (and friends) would just do an independent browser at this point.
Modern Firefox has to be kept in a cage and receive severe beatings just to keep it in line.
Great, more vendor specific keys that absolutely nobody needs.
That’s the twist. It was actually ₿igfoot who invented ₿itcoin, don’t you see?
I’ve seen countless of those tweaks throughout the years. You can harangue the people using them all you want, but at the end of the day they’re hooked on a powerful drug. And they’ll do anything to keep their supply.
I get it, and thanks for the advice. But I dislike what voting does to spaces like this as a matter of principle. It is a social consensus reinforcement mechanism, even if it is implemented with the best of intentions.
How many of them had pharmaceutical money behind them, I wonder.
TIL jump hosts are an existing concept
Well anyway I enjoyed the read.
I am only here actually because proper forums have yet to figure out federation. As soon as Discourse or Flarum or whatever figure out full federation, I’m gone (over to them).
Specifically, I prefer chronologically sorted posts and the absence of voting systems.
Millennials naively assumed that the following generations would just naturally be as computer literate as they are. We’re dealing with people now who think that wi-fi is internet service.
The author of the article is specifically referring to bulletin board forums when describing forums. Link aggregators like reddit are not forums. They are comments sections.
DRM apologist, like so many of the Steam fanboys. “No, it’s good DRM, you see?”
I do use ClamAV. Most users just run some sort of daily scan, but this is remedial and not preventative.
In order to truly harness clamav’s potential, you need to configure clamonacc on-access scanning. It passes items off to clamd with lowered privileges and prevents file access through inotify until its realtime scan has cleared.
I wonder sometimes if the advice against pointing DNS records to your own residential IP amounts to a big scare. Like you say, if it’s just a static page served on an up to date and minimal web server, there’s less leverage for an attacker to abuse.
I’ve found that ISPs too often block port 80 and 443. Did you luck out with a decent one?
Glad things turned out favorable for you.
it’s forced some of the long stagnant Telco companies to actually compete and start rolling out fiber of their own.
The fact that they failed to do so of their own volition is reasonable grounds to continue to avoid said Telco even after they’ve finally deployed fiber.
The war on anime continues. Its for the greater good. Do the right thing. Support our troops. Just two weeks to flatten the piracy.
