“Say that the Spanish government was forcing us to choose between undermining encryption in a way that would pollute Signal and making it dangerous for everyone, or leaving the market. That means everyone in the world who has a contact in Spain they need to talk to, they could no longer communicate. If the choice were between undermining encryption, undermining our privacy promises in a way that harmed anyone who use the Signal network, or leaving a market, we would leave a market in a heartbeat,” she explains.

De plannen van de VVD om starters aan een betaalbare woning te helpen, werken compleet averechts. Daarvoor waarschuwen economen en andere woningmarktdeskundigen. „Een mix van slechte ingrediënten.”

Sinds december 2023 geldt in Amsterdam op veel wegen een maximumsnelheid van 30 kilometer per uur. Na een jaar evalueerden we deze maatregel. En wat blijkt: het aantal verkeersongevallen op de 30-kilometerwegen is flink gedaald, hulpdiensten zijn niet langzamer geworden en het openbaar vervoer rijdt vrijwel net zo snel als voorheen. De luchtkwaliteit bleef gelijk.

I can see people not necessarily wanting suggestions for tab group names, but... The rest of the list is translations and alt text suggestions for images added to PDFs. The most uncontroversial AI features if ever there were any.

I really don't care for this urge to advertise "AI" everywhere. I also don't care much for the knee-jerk reaction just because someone calls something AI.

I hadn't updated my Firefox Nightly on Android for a while (two releases), and just did. However, the new toolbar mentioned here disappeared! I had gotten pretty reliant on being able to open a new tab or go forward with a single tap. Anyone know if there's a way for me to get it back?

That person in the audience was really grinding my gears. Just let the folks you're talking to answer you; no need to keep going on your diatribe when it's based on a false assumption and waste the whole room's time.

Even if the murderer had been a Muslim and/or refugee, that would not have justified the violence used.

At some point you reach critical mass, where the majority of the population uses the bicycle as at least one of their modes of transportation, after which improvements to bicycle infrastructure are more widely supported and thus more easily made - which then causes more people to use the bicycle, etc.

That's what happened in the Netherlands a couple of decades ago, and the infrastructure now is wonderful and still getting better.

Support it or you won’t know what you lost.

Note that the best way to support it is to actually use its products, Firefox in particular. That's what gives Mozilla the ability to influence the direction of the web and web standards.

It's a lot of work and a relatively small market, in addition to have to ship it as a separate version that's different from the version in the rest of the world, and subject to Apple's onerous restrictions and review policy, and it's clear that Apple is not looking to make this as frictionless as possible.

I think "You do now." probably works better than "Now you have one!" It feels more threatening.
