There is no typo in the key, just a typo in the encrypted message:

S4STEN

The S should probably be a 2 instead.

Epiphany on Gnome - https://apps.gnome.org/Epiphany/

In all other cases Firefox, I'd assume.

Props to them for making it this far into the crisis without raising prices.

It had even led to some anomalies where Apple machines were a better price than similar Windows machines.

Are you saying US data centers idle in the night rather than serving European/Asian users?

Jabber/XMPP was designed around persistent TCP connections. Push notification support came too late.

Still feels like an alpha version right now. I'm sure they will add it later.

Graphite (which they seem to be inspired by) has frozen branches exactly for that use case:

Congrats on the payday :)

Do you think Anthropic might request you implement private APIs?

I think you should disclose that you work on the Google Chrome team in a post like this.

> [...] support Thunderbird is through donations

I doubt donations to MZLA Technologies Corporation will reach the Thunderbird project in any meaningful way.

They'll just use it to pay their executive salaries.

This is probably something that the platform HackerOne should implement. It can't be addressed on the project level.

DDG is only one piece in the privacy puzzle. I think the article doesn't make it clear enough that other pieces are necessary.
They will continue using the perpetual VMware licenses.

This article is just about buying support from another provider.

Obviously, right-click is for losers and you just have to drag and drop the folder icon from the title bar onto the Terminal app icon.

So cool! I wonder if I can use this software to plan an irrigation system for my garden.
I thought the same, but it's actually just the default Color Palette being applied. You can change it in the preferences.

So installing Chrome is going to require 22 GB of disk space now?
Re:Cord didn't win. What now? on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @10:22AM (#44181036)
They must have sold the domain to the job portal cord.co. I got an email about it in February:

> We're becoming cord­.­com

> Hi,

> Over the next few weeks cord­.­co is becoming cord­.­com. Adding an "m" to the end of our URL is one of the smaller things we've done. But it represents something much bigger: that cord has become the trusted source for tech hiring in the UK.

Try this CSS if you want to zoom in without the icons turning into a blurry mess:

Brave has a built-in adblocker (not an extension)

I'm very doubtful of his 4 hour data point.

How on earth can he make 5 trips to the hardware store in only 4 hours? Something is not adding up...

The name Pwn2Own is quite ironic. Who really owns their vehicle nowadays?

I hope these security efforts don't lock legitimate owners out of access to their vehicles.

I guess it's just a less common word for sun.

The HTTP protocol is a lost art. These days people don't even look at the status code and expect some mumbo jumbo JSON payload explaining the error.

Just an idea: remap your Caps Lock key to Esc. I already do that with all my devices anyway.

This type of dishwasher is made to be integrated in a kitchen with other cabinets (i.e. covered with the same door material as your other cabinets).

So the entire front of the dishwasher is customizable and can't have any buttons/indicators.

You can do JSON exports within the apps. But careful, all your passwords are unencrypted in the JSON.
