Really not the best title for this book.

I won't even read it. Google remains the best search engine, period. Nothing is even close.

The article does not seem to actually refute the old theories. What a mess.

Firefox sync encrypts your data with your password (it's not exactly like that but that's the gist of it) and Mozilla has zero access to it, none at all. I see no reason not to trust them wi…

> it's open source, you can simply look at the code (or, better, at the differences with firefox) Are you really serious? Firefox source is 21 million lines of code.

Not only that, trustworthy extensions normally have serious well-known developers behind them which decreases the risk of stumbling into something malicious. To this date not a single extension which …

Mozilla has a special program when they check manually and mark extensions which are trustworthy. It's been there since the advent of WebExtensions.

The biggest problem with all these "privacy" oriented web browsers is that you have to trust their creators explicitly and I just cannot. Most often the developers are some random anonymous …

What next? Allowing access to about:config? Nah, I'm dreaming. Will continue to use Nightly.

I use fast.com instead. This one tests a 10MB chunk at last and that's the only reliable indication for me. 100KB and 1MB down/up load tests show unrealistically low values, perhaps due to a…

<offtopic probably>Haven't read the article but nowadays there's no reason to use either GZIP, or bzip2 when ZSTD is available. It's just so much better than both, I've no id…

I have insane issues with my working memory which render me basically useless as an employee or even a human being and doctors here in my country aren't even aware such a thing exists and can det…

> If you've been a 20-year Nvidia Linux user like I have, you'll have countless horror stories of system upgrades and kernel revisions breaking NVidia drivers, leaving you with a non-work…

I'm really sad QNX has never been adopted for the desktop and it died with Blackberry for mobile. Such a cool fast kernel / operating system.

> Nvidia is actively hostile to Linux users. Citations and facts needed. Also, please enlighten us why NVIDIA owes Linux or its users anything. Please. Just take it slow. > The worst part about …

1. Unfulfilled expectations dictated by the society around you - since we are herd animals, that runs deep below our consciousness and exhausts us. To deal with fatigue people start to look for ways t…

This link doesn't work for me, this one does: https://www.alphagalileo.org/en-gb/Item-Display/ItemId/23440... …

If only both of you guys knew that Valve has been working on CS2 for the past three years and no, it's not "10 people" it a lot lot more. I agree it took them too long to fix these vuln…

> The only Fedora users who will have the 6.3 kernel series on their systems are those who willingly and intentionally enable the updates-testing repository. 1. People compile released kernels foun…

> only affects opt-in testers That's a falsehood. Kernel releases on kernel.org are _not_ considered "unstable". That's a myth open source aficionados have to drop ASAP.

> I note that all these reported failures seem to be using hardware raid and with stripe (whether either is relevant is unknown). That's not true. Later in the comments there is a person witho…

LMAO

1. Why does it look aggressive/frowning? 2. It has become so generic it looks almost exactly the same as Firefox logo when the colors have been reduced to just one. Overall: unnecessary and detri…

Phoronix is where AMD is infallible and Intel/NVIDIA are evil incarnates. And that results in news pieces like this.
