Seems Firefox decided to return to Twitter.

It’s been 12 years since Heartbleed and we’ve had numerous ”lone maintainer” issues since then. The situation shouldn’t come as a surprise or be especially ”hard to believe”.

This is the state of free software, especially when it matures.

Unless the creators manage to roll some kind of ”commercial” version, it’s not very sustainable in the long run. Turns out many eyes don’t really equal many PRs

A strange game. Only winning move is not to play.

Brave (the company) has a long history of doing dodgy stuff. They are just trying to do what Google did (directing clicks to their own shit), but they're using privacy as their marketing spiel.

Right wing conservatives are in power. Not surprising

VC financed social media at the start of its enshittification journey. Started interesting with open protocol but seems it has no ambitions of being open.

Deleted my account 6 months ago and haven’t missed it.

Good old ”download equals a sale” rhetoric still doing a lot of work in these headlines. It’s been decades.

All of them have really bad audio and as such, they're completely useless.

This is the moment in Scooby-Doo where the gang unmasks the person they've just caught and underneath is just the Microsoft Bing logo

The only AI function I could see myself using is one that would summarize 15 minute youtube videos into coherent readable text in blog format. That would be nice. Especially when they're posted like this, just links without much context.

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn't implement DHCP option 121 or run VPN in VM that isn't bridged.

Gamers are so fucking weird. Really enjoyed the show. Hope they make 2nd season.

Luckily I've changed my default OS to Linux

My current Dell XPS 13 has been my trusty old companion for the past 4.5 years and I'm very happy with it.
Inevitably, the battery isn't what it used to be anymore - it won't reach full charge anymore and discharges in 2-3 hours of normal use (webrowsing, coding etc).

I could replace the battery, but at 4.5 years, I guess it's time for an upgrade.

My general requirements:

  • Good Linux support
  • Portable (13-14")
  • Great battery life
  • Good keyboard
  • A nice screen that doesn't have too much glare
  • At least 16Gb RAM / 1Tb SSD

This is my work machine so I'm not especially budget-sensitive.
Durable build would be awesome, I travel quite a lot and it gets banged around in my bag.
I work in cybersecurity and do coding, so it doesn't need "content creator" features. The less "bells and whistles", the better.
I'd love a microSD-card slot.
I think I'd melt of happiness if it also has a HDMI port.
I don't game on this machine (except chess.com, lol) , so don't really need gfx performance.
I don't need touchscreen or 2-in-1 functions.
Reasonable mic/cam - but I think that's pretty much given on a modern high-end laptop..

I'm thinking I'm probably going with new Dell XPS 13 or some ThinkPad variant, but I'd be happy to hear some suggestions and experiences (both good and bad) of recent purchases from the community.

Ps. Framework/System76 don't ship here. Unfortunately. I'm stuck with the big-corpo brands.

In a memo sent to employees Mozilla says it wants to bring “trustworthy AI into Firefox”. To help it do this sooner it’s merging its Pocket, content, and AI/Ml teams.

Yeah, I'm not sure this is the "renewed focus" we're looking for, chief
