It always surprises me when a tech company doesn't use the proper MB GB.

It's one thing if they just don't care (screw the pedants, whatever) or don't know (which is scary but whatever), but valueing looks/typeface more than technical details in their technical offering is just bizarre.

Yes.

Also, Image decoders are part of the OS on Apple devices so likely all existing apps will support it automatically when iOS updates.

If anything I've had way more issues with dns-based ad blocking than with ublock. I think he's just shilling his blog.

Not sure that's on reviewers. Lenovo is using anti consumer tactics to improve sales (the elevated MSRP with a constant "sale"), should they be praised?

So one would have to check every channels on every server they subscribe to, every day, just to see what's new? And you consider that a replacement for the Reddit home page?

I have several hundred subreddits, that would take me forever on discord.

> Christian interned for a summer at Apple.

Ugh, thanks for saying this, I'm one of those who believed the narrative that he was an ex employee who left to pursue his passion.

You are being downvoted but I agree, what's with people spelling it mastadon? That's not even how it's pronounced (in my English but non American country, at least), so is it a language thing? Is mastadon a real word in some languages?

That error happens because your browser is broken. I had the same issue because my image viewer assumed i.imgur would always serve images but they've recently been serving redirections and html (presumably to force people to see ads).

> Twitter market cap is $40B.

That might be what Elon paid for it but, if all the recent news articles are to be believed, it's now worth less than 1/4 that.

That sounds a lot like the usual piracy advocate excuse "they're not losing any money through piracy, it gives them free exposure".

You're right of course that some randomness is inherent, but you can adjust the "temperature".

With a low enough temperature you get essentially the same output every time, with a at most just minor words swapped.

And likewise, the presence of excessive AI-generated content also turn away a lot of people.

The day HN stops banning ai generated posts and comments is the day I leave forever.

Who is swyx and why is their opinion relevant?

Yeah when my DNS went sporty I noticed Firefox got very slow to load even local ips and investigated.

Turns out it does two dozen queries on every start. Mostly to unknown Mozilla services but also a few from Google and others I couldn't identify (IP on either AWS or CloudFlare, likely just more Mozilla). And when it can't resolve those hosts it seems to continually retry every few seconds...

Before the apologists arrive, try it yourself. Disable all your add-ons and set your homepage to blank, close Firefox, start wireshark, start Firefox and watch the avalanche.

> Who wants to write a web assembly engine from scratch

Webassembly engine is one of the simpler things to implement in a browser. It's essentially a giant switch statement in a loop.

> let alone the rest?

But who said a new browser has to implement everything from scratch? Why couldn't a browser use well established libraries for things like image decoding, webasm, JavaScript, font rendering, webrtc, http, etc?

I thought you weren't allowed to use Nvidia's consumer GPUs in the datacenter?

Would of doesn't mean anything.

You meant would have.

It's true that setup is simple enough but what other servers like Caddy provide is automated renewals.

You don't have to mess with having a .well-known always accessible on each domain, for example. Caddy does it for you and only when it's needed.

> This worked 1% of the time. Because of the cooperative multitasking in win 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98 and Me the usual way out of this was reset or power off.

Only Win 3.1 used cooperative multitasking (and only when running on a 286). All others used preemptive multitasking.
