  • Thanks something to think about. Almost like another perspective on Dunning-Krueger.

  • Firefox doesn’t have PWA support. They pulled it years ago.

  • That’s absolutely a motivator for Google but simply leaving things open ended also means they can’t enforce anything at all.

    Scammer: -releases scammer shady product- Google: we don’t want you using our products to scam users. We are blocking this. Scammer: fine, I’ll throw it on an alt store and create errors when it’s run on an unmodified device. I’ll just require users switch to scamROM. Google: fine, we’ll let you in the play store.

    See? There’s no winning here.

  • What’s the next challange? What is she doing with Intel Xe?

  • Open Firefox and pin a PWA. I’ll wait.

  • Competitor is already here. Apple and Ampere are making ARM systems that fit most users needs. There are ARM servers. But people don’t want to switch.

  • This is unfortunately true. I’m not saying this is something that will stop all malware or that I even like the damn thing. But it does have some valid uses.

  • But then you have the user problem. Convince the user to bypass a security function for you and it won’t stop you. It’s really easy to trick users.

  • Because those charged with enforcing and interpreting laws aren’t doing so anymore unless it serves them.

  • They haven’t been promoted or supported well until fairly recently. Also, Firefox is not compatible with PWAs but chrome, edge, and safari are.

  • No, it’s too much to demand but simply asking they keep the interface as clean looking as any other free cross platform open source project is not an outlandish request.

  • That is not what I said. Please reread my post in its entirety.

  • You can’t say anything negative about Israel. You can’t access porn without telling your government and the provider who you are first. They keep trying to kill encryption and will eventually succeed. They are moving on requiring identification to use a VPN now.

    Increased surveillance has literally never made people safer. It’s made them vulnerable.

  • Not for my pleasure. It serves as a warning to others who will only respond to fear. The stupid people. The “what are you gonna do about it” crowd.

  • Everyone should support rust. It’s a good idea. It prevents an entire class of vulnerabilities. But the old guard says “just stop making mistakes and C is fine” which is an incredibly dumb thing to say but here we are.

    Rust is encroaching on their territory and they don’t want to learn the new thing, and newbs don’t see many compelling reasons to learn the old thing, so they are fighting eachother.

  • And what is Europe doing “for the children” lately?

  • Do you snort it or take it in the arm?

  • No it’s not. There are other free and open software offerings that function cross platform and do it more cleanly.
