Then it would be outright lie to say "We started with a clean slate."

How ironic to see "MitID remains inaccessible" and "You are in charge of your data" cookie banner on the same page.

Even quoted search is not representative because some ads just mention Vision Pro as one of the many products Apple is known for:

> "The Manufacturing Design team enables the mass production of Apple's entire product line from iPhones, iPads and MacBooks to the Mac Pro, AppleTV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro."

Right? This is what all these MBAs and supply chain efficiency experts never get.

You don't have to be very bright to figure killing adblockers in FF is a suicide.

Is this another GPT-4.5?

However, market makers have some leverage on the market they operate in, that's what the author probably meant.
Re:A Look at Firefox Forks on Saturday March 15, 2025 @09:39AM (#43372470)
I use two forks on a daily basis - Floorp and Waterfox. Both sync FF accounts just fine.

Alphabet
Right now: Waterfox and Florp, both based on FF.

In long run: I hope Ladybird will become usable in the next couple of years.

Ironically, TPM requirement comes from the same company that invented logging your screen every few seconds and storing it unencrypted and without your consent.

Re:Dive into Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Decade Review on Tuesday January 07, 2025 @04:27AM (#42620806)
MP is one of the best univariate methods, but it's actually mentioned in the article.
Re:Dive into Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Decade Review on Tuesday January 07, 2025 @04:24AM (#42620786)
I don't think it's being updated. Latest blog posts are from 2020, and Github repos haven't seen commits for the last 5-6 years. MP went a long way since then.

> At this point the hardware side of things was fine but my Zigbee network was gone.

How come the hardware was ok but the network was gone? Did some Z2M config files go wrong because of two dongles? Did you try to restore VM from snapshots?

Losing the network and having to re-pair everything would be a nightmare for me given the number of Zigbee devices I run (~35) and that some of them are mounted in switch boxes in the walls.

Re:Dear OAuth Providers on Thursday December 12, 2024 @07:05AM (#42398477)
Also, the OAuth RFC does not use "MUST" for 400 response and allows some freedom in this regard:

> The authorization server responds with an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) status code (unless specified otherwise)

Re:I Stopped Using OpenBSD on Saturday November 23, 2024 @10:52AM (#42221520)
TL;DR: OpenBSD is bad as a desktop (no bluetooth, limited gamepad support, etc).
I'm using a free app Pictogram (https://pictogramapp.com). It's not as feature rich as Replacicon (e.g. no online search from the app), but it works well if you just need to change an icon or two. Services like https://macosicons.com/ help you to find a good icons online.
Thank you!
Native vertical tabs in vanilla FF? Whoohoo! Imho, the killer feature is automatic group assignment based on URL patters. Will the vanilla implementation support it?
> Parser-generators were always academic projects

Were they? GCC abandoned bison in favour of their own parser relatively recently.

OCaml? Thanks for saving me a click!
