It’s literally insane that they are doing this even though they don’t even have the replacement. It really shows their colour.

actually its not perfect with comments either. I keep 4 notifications in my inbox unread in case I could find out where I got them, 2 of which is inaccessible because they themselves were deleted and I can’t go back to see what was its parent thread

It’s interesting to see gorhill’s reaction. I understand that he’s fed up with all of this bullshit around both the advertising industry and mozilla’s internal happenings, but maybe this was not a logical decision. I hope he is well, or that he gets the help he needs.

Carrot (…) is an upcoming upgrade for Monero’s FCMP++ protocol.

that’s interesting to say. isn’t FCMP itself an upcoming upgrade?

edit: did not intend this as a response

D-Bus is a system service that is used by processes to communicate with others. It’s commonly used, but as users we rarely see anything of it. It’s usage for programmers and sysadmins is/can be quite complicated. It looks they want to add a new simpler one. Haven’t heard of varlink before, though

Something I’ve learned is that it will use a lot of CPU even if the video is paused.

this has been my experience with it on windows too, so it must be a core VLC thing. if it bothers you, I recommend you to try out MPV. been using it for more than a year, would never go back. If you need more than the on screen controller and key combos, there are quite a few proper GUI players being built on MPV.

if you come from Windows, liked the 10 start menu, and you want to use KDE, there’s a pretty similar launcher you can use: https://store.kde.org/p/2142716

it does not have collapsible groups and live tiles, but otherwise it’s pretty good I think

or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you

well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.

probably this is it’s manifestation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4204

I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago

Though on the other hand giving fake info will make you look more unique and trackable.

will it if it’s not obvious? how?

CHIPS is similar to the state partitioning mechanism implemented by Firefox. The difference is that state partitioning partitions cookie storage and retrieval into separate cookie jars for each top-level site, without a mechanism to allow opt-in to third-party cookies if desired. As browsers start to phase out third-party cookie usage, there are still valid, non-tracking uses of third-party cookies that need to be permitted while developers begin to handle this change.

so this adds a setting to allow a site access to shared 3rd party cookies, when the site supports the feature?

my impression was that it was impossible already, because there was effectively a different cookie storage for every site

Several law firms have pursued this option, one of which was sued by Valve for allegedly attempting to “extort” the company with a threat of mass arbitration with more than 50,000 people. (This lawsuit was dismissed in August without prejudice, meaning Valve could re-file.)

The idea is that the sheer number of arbitration cases would force Valve to settle with all of them with the same resolution, instead of arbitrating them all individually. Arbitration is usually less expensive than litigation, but on this mass scale, it can easily become overwhelming for the company the disputes are with. “In states like California where businesses must pay most of the arbitration fees in a consumer claim, the business would be required to pay a filing fee for each individual claimant,” Steinberg said. “With fees of approximately $1,500 per claim, a claim with thousands of individuals could cost millions in filing fees.”

I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too

hmm, I think it wouldn’t be really useful for monero mining. even with p2pool mini you need hours on a simple machine to find a block, and you are waiting just for a short time on these bot verification pages/menus.

Like at least if they could be given work units to very briefly preform micro prime number calculations, at least there is some mathematical value in that.

if you can adequately verify the correctness of the results, that could be worth something yeah

thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!

I thought the delayed shutdown was intentional to not let the vibration of the disks increase too much
