Regarding *, do you know why? Shouldn't dual/quad channel be in effect?

> While the change is designed to make your photo library more private, it’s also breaking how digital photo frames — such as those made by Aura and Cozyla — automatically update slideshows on their devices.

> Last month, Google announced that Google Photos slideshows would soon be available as ambient displays or screensavers on more third-party devices. The feature is currently available on Google Nest displays and Google TVs.

Sounds like anti-competitive behavior with privacy as the scape goat, imho. A feature for 3rd parties stops working as Google is rolling out that same feature for their own products?

I do this as well. Act Runner is great, too, if you want CI. It can be finicky, but I'm running it on a Pi4, so not the best setup for that.

Because no one will stop them.

Can you cite this claim?

Party? Probably not. However, it would favor the working class as not everyone can take a day to go to the polls. It also helps the elderly, medically fragile, and others who otherwise have trouble getting to the polls. Nevermind the voters who happen to be traveling abroad and want to cast their votes.

I wonder if this will hinder vote by mail somehow.

If there was no vendor lock in, you'd only need one key, no?

Just aheads up, one should be using uBlock Origin, not uBlock. In short, AdBlock now owns the old uBlock

Passkeys are also a great way to have vendor lock-in.

This is true. I know the change wasn't just DEI, but I thought it might have been the biggest push. And yeah, after it's gone we will see how much it helped (or not), or other influences will muddy the data and we'll never really know (unless it's a really big trend). shrug

Oh ok, that makes sense. I can agree with that. Given that, I worry the number of women will stagnate or decrease without it, which, imho, would be a detriment to the industry.

If DEI was only marketing, why has the number and proportion of women in tech been increasing over that time? I'm not trying to challenge you, I'm just curious if you have any insight.

ETA: and do you think that number will increase, stagnate, or decrease with DEI gone, and why?

Tbf, if you're lucky, there is web.archive.org and others like it, but yes, situations like those are common and disappointing.

How is fandom shitty now? I'm asking from a newer user perspective. What did standalone wikis do better?

My initial guess is ads, but is there more to it?

How would that work without a homogenious setup? Won't all devices need to be with Apple or Microsoft (etc)? Or is there a standard/cross platform solution?

Everything is open source* if you know assembly, so to speak.

Isn't it also a problem for breeders? I would think pollenation could cause issues for indoor as well as outdoor crops, especially specific strain breeding and understanding pollenation patterns would help mitigate some of that.

This was a fascinating read! I truly enjoy deep dives into the relics of the early(ier) years. I'm curious if there exists a virtual machine for the Tektronix 4404, I think it'd be fun to tinker with devices like those in software since it's unlikely one will ever pass through my hands.

I currently have moat passwords synced with firerox. If I lose or break a device currently, I can restore from another, synced, device. If while using passkeys I lose or break my device, then what?

Fabricated Knowledge

I love watching projects like these progress. It seems like a passion project and such a joy to tinker with. Great work Dennis!

Using the Tor Browser, I kept trying "New Circuit" and it eventually showed the page. It took ~6+ tries though

My hunch is something like NAFTA -> USMCA would happen with CHIPS. Repeal and replace with basically the same to make it look like a GOP win.

I start firefox with -P every time I open the browser. I use it to compartmentalize my browsing habbits. E.g. if I'm working on schoolwork, I have a school profile w/o any social media passwords stored. I also have a general browsing profile and a few others like banking.

Chicken and egg. People need to also host on F-Droid to pull more users to F-Droid. Eventually if enough momentum is built towards F-Droid, dropping Google Play wouldn't be too much of an issue. Granted this is a really long longshot, but Google Play could use some serious competition amd the more apps that host on multple app stores, the more likely that is to happen.

What a joke. Why would they stop? The US needs privacy as a right for its citizens. This is so disheartening.

FTA: "You may say that if a true satellite is like a customer buying goods inside a store, objects like 2024 PT5 are window shoppers."

The article agrees with you. It's always those pesky headlines.

I think the article has been corrected. I read it after seeing this comment and couldn't find whales while reading nor with ctrl+f

Perhaps an analogy can be made with respect to information priority and which trees to fell.
