This makes me sad to see. I've been trying to degoogle as much as possible, and Firefox potentially going away eventually seems like another battle lost.

I use Firefox as my main browser, but having to jump on a Teams call, or GoToMeeting, or really any Google service requires Chrome to get it to work fully, or even at all. And as I understand it, this is for no good reason at all. At the moment, I find myself opening Chrome just for those tasks alone, but the fact that I have to do that at all says a lot about Chrome's hand in the market.

I'm not sure what there's left to do as a Firefox user. One would be to donate [0], but it looks like donations to Mozilla don't make it to Firefox development according to this [1] post from a few years ago.

'keep them in the dark and cover them with manure"
> Writing on Twitter, Preuss notes "If you double click the shift panel twice and accidentally engage the auto-pilot in Model 3, Tesla will automatically charge you $14100 if you didn't previously purchase auto-pilot."

That sounds like a legitimate concern.

> The Tesla owner noted that the purchase may have been made through a different method than the one he quoted, but was made without any authorization regardless.

So it's not from double clicking the shift panel in the car while dirivng as per the original tweet?

How was it done then? Clicking things in the app/website? Because that's an entirely different thing.

I'm calling BS.
I think that fits into the category of the Wal-Mart scanners which are at many stores.
I wouldn't call it an antipattern either - it literally does exactly what the programmer wants, but it's definitely a dark pattern.

Most of us humans have an urge to finish things, but infinite scroll by definition never finishes. This increases engagement of users by utilizing their psychology, which is basically the definition of a dark pattern.

There is an argument to be made that it also increases usability, so it's inception probably wasn't malicious. But it's definitely another product of today's addiction driven design philosophy if you just look at the psychological effect it has on users
So what would the process be for example if a unwitting parent or relative has pictures of a victim on their iPhone that is perceptually similar of their loved one being molested at day care something like that?
You do not know cats very well. They exhibit an extraordinarily diverse range of behaviours, interests, and intelligence. I've had cats who were brilliant hunters and dumb as posts; I've also had cats who were wholly disinterested in hunting but showed considerable intelligence in terms of puzzle solving. And most cats I've known have been clearly motivated by social interaction as an end in itself. They put a lot of thought into this.
Also, don’t forget, you cannot actually donate to Firefox. If you donate to Mozilla, it only goes to all projects that are _not_ Firefox, because Firefox is part of a different legal entity.

Bonkers.
Yes, that's a straight lie.

Autopilot is standard and free.
FSD costs 10k, not 14k.

I'm a "diehard" firefox user from back when it was Netscape, and just won't use anything else as my main browser until I'm forced to, but

Constantly breaking the user experience with major overhauls

is what makes me swear under my breath most. I've learned to dread major updates because of time I've spent working around UI changes that apparently do nothing other than satisfy the aesthetic concerns of some random developer.

> that doesn't mean that getting prints done is inconvenient in Poland if you don't have your own printer.

It is inconvenient in Poland as there is no easy to use way to get your stuff printed.

There are some print shops, but focusing on specialist/large prints - and just few of them in a city, definitely not on every corner. Printing a single A4 page would cost me about 5% of printer cost (travel cost, printing itself, time of travel).

Move Android /Chrome out of Google and soon the world would be running on Microsoft Edge and Windows. And worse, all of the poor countries would standardize on Facebook browser/OS on cheap devices which will come bundled with their devices with data snoopind deals with the mobile carriers. And should you decide to break up all the silicon valley tech giants, all the non western nations would be running on WeChat or TenCent /AliBaba etc. based technology. There are no easy answers but breaking up Google is the dumbest course of action.
I dropped it because they keep changing it.

Extension changes, Pocket integration, UI updates, even the bloody icon keeps getting updated. Just leave it alone for god sake.

On Chrome now which seems to change a lot less frequently (in a perceptible manner - I know they add a lot of stuff to Chrome every year, but for the most part its ignorable unlike FireFox changes)
I left for edge. vertical tabs out of the box - check. ability to remove window title bar without editing css - check. ublock - check. sending tabs between pcs and mobile devices - check. (actually this one thing drove me away from ffx when it stopped working. about a year ago my android firefox(es) stopped syncing reliably. some devices synced, some synced occasionally, some never synced. related to the arbitrary limit on amount of bookmarks and tabs that could be synced, by ffx devs)

Firefox has the best cross-platform user experience i've encountered so far. It supports full sync across Windows / Linux / Mac / FreeBSD / Android.

Previously Brave was the one i was using but it doesn't do full sync on iOS & can't be built on FreeBSD.
Those additional services are important to diversify their revenue streams AND they offer people basic solutions from a reliable provider like Mozilla. If anything, they should expand to offering more digital services under the umbrella of Firefox.
Instead of firing Rust/Servo-People, the double down on finishing a technically superior browser would probably have done the same thing that Chrome did years ago: slick, lean, ultra fast -> technical folks would not only recommend it in their circles, but also install it on their parents/friends/... computer -> adoption wave.

But what do I know, it seems that "adding features and modernizing the UI" wins everytime in upper management.
Apple have separate operations in China, how long until anti-party content is on the hash list over there
This sounds like a false dichotomy but quite makes sense when it comes to browser market I believe. FF 'feels like' lagging behind for majority of users because of the hiccups here and there.

Using your bank analogy for a second: banks already do report on activity to authorities who can then identify people to investigate based on patterns. I've heard that large transactions (>10k) or near-sized ones are flagged.

A great deal of skepticism is being given to the NCMEC database in these comments, which I'm surprised by as from what information I have I think this is being exaggerated. At the same time we have no idea whether Apple would even be using that database or another one that they may have created themselves.

Here’s the tweet where he said that: https://mobile.twitter.com/deesix/status/1420433764002373636

It reads to me as him saying there are multiple UI paths to make the purchase, he doesn’t know which was used because he wasn’t in the car. But the fact that another driver could trigger a $14k charge to his card on file (assuming that part is true) is concerning regardless.

Edit: after reading some comments from Tesla owners, I think my “assuming that part is true” was generous.
Don't blame yourself, one year is barely enough to decompress after a decade of work. Who knows how productively happy you could be after getting all the tiredness out of your system?
It does break searching for content within a web page.
Firefox doesn't know who it's building a browser for anymore.

It's not regular folk, they can't outspend Google acquiring them.

It's not technical folk, they've been so tone deaf, forceful and unengaging that those people have left for greener pastures.

So who?
huh? FF quantum was faster than Chrome when it came out, don't know what the benchmarks are today but it's certainly competitive.
What if I just don't want this feature using my battery time or my network bandwidth?

They have to download the hashes in order to compare them, I wonder if a pihole could help here?
I think there are far more obstacles and safety considerations on the ground than in the air. Kids running around, branches off trees, long grass, gates, other vehicles, etc. An autonomous ground vehicle couldn't reach my front door, but a flying one would have little problem.
Presumably, given the scale of this loss, there are people here who have recently moved away from Firefox: If that's you, I'd be really interested to hear why. It seems silly, but I can't think of any time recently where I've considered moving, what caused you to move away?
Yes sure they do, just look the presentation.
I gotta say that for me this was a really nice change! It's way more ergonomic to use this way. There's also a setting that lets you choose if it's at the top or bottom so you can revert the change.
Not bad, definitely have to start somewhere. Rain would be a big concern though.

Sadly, people in apartments, those that lack a back yard (my parents bought a house w/o one so there's no maintenance, just a ravine) are possibly worse off since theres no "hiding" the package. Its definitely possible to say it's not for everyone though.
I use Firefox daily and the only UI change I noticed in the last few months was the tab bar looking slightly different. I might not even have noticed if it weren’t for articles pointing it out. Just me?
That's not at all ballistic though.

There is an utterly perverse incentive to consider as well.

If the median shelf-life of abuse evidence is shortened, in that the item in question can no longer be forwarded/viewed/stored/..., what does that imply in a world where the demand remains relatively stable?

I despise the abusers for what they do, and the ecosystem they enable. But I also remember first having this argument more than ten years ago. If you, as a member of law enforcement or a child wellbeing charity, only flag the awful content but do not do anything else about it, you are - in my mind - guilty of criminal neglect. The ability to add an entry to a database is nothing more than going, "at least nobody else will see that in the future". That does NOTHING to prevent the creation of more such material, and thus implicitly endorses the ongoing abuse and crimes against children.

Every one of these images and videos is a piece of evidence. Of a horrifying crime committed against a child or children.

Exactly this. Am 23 (Ghanaian) and this is my final year in the university. I have been working as a software developer at small startups since I started schooling. As this is my final semester, I have decided to quit work and have more free time for myself.
So, while everyone discusses how horrible future dystopia will be.

I worry about the method itself: will a simplest of firewalls be very effective against this? The one that forbids any communication except with few hosts, like a pair of them?
Google thought Google+ was a very good idea. Didn’t mean that it was a good idea.

Removing features from web platform is, at least for me, a very bad move. If only because that it will spawn millions of half-baked replacement libraries with a whole lot of other security problems.
I've gone the other direction.

Firefox was my main browser 13 years ago. I switched out of curiosity to Opera which was fun for a while. Around 2011, I jumped on the Chrome bandwagon, which switched to Chromium as Linux became my daily driver. This year when Chromium stopped syncing across devices[0] I thought I'd give Firefox another go.

I'm personally avoiding Brave like the plague mainly because it's chromium based, but also because I don't trust them, and when I've tried it out, I didn't care for all the crypto/BAT pushing.

Since switching back to Firefox, I've been a very happy user - and I'm surprised by all the backlash they've gotten this year (mainly, seemingly from dev communities like HN) for UI changes, performance, "being funded by google". None of these are issues for me - a relative power user - at all.

One huge advantage for me is the mobile app just feels miles ahead of competition. Now that phones IMO are oversized, it's so refreshing to have the option to put the address bar at the bottom, AND I can have uBlock and Dark Reader on mobile! Personally I'm a fan of the v89/90 UI changes - I think people have been over-reacting.

Even if I started to feel UI or performance issues, I still wouldn't switch back on account of Firefox not being chromium based. I don't trust Google. I'm trying to de-google and would encourage others to do the same.

Support competition! Whether it be cloud providers, web rendering engines. Sometimes this comes at a minor personal cost but it can be for the greater good. Think long term!

‘Stealth investment’: Chinese money finds its way into Indian tech as IPOs boom
> relies on sys-calls

No, the rely on POSIX[1][2]. Syscalls are an implementation detail handled by the compiler. Programs (like 'ls' and the rest of coreutils) that conform[3] to the POSIX standard should continue to work in future POSIX compatible operating systems.

If future operating systems deliberately introduce changes that break POSIX, then some work will be required to port the programs to the new environment.
However, this type of porting process is really implementing a new feature. The original finished version isn't affected and shouldn't need maintenance.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX

[2] Other standards are also important, but I am only mentioning POSIX for brevity.

[3] https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils "Like the rest of the GNU system, these programs mostly conform to POSIX, with BSD and other extensions."
It's a general trend in SW development. If it works, fix it. It seems to make everyone except users happy.
What does "reasonable" mean here? Clearly, for SQLite, it is reasonable because that's how they want their database to work. But for someone who is used to MongoDB, maybe "reasonable" means that you can store documents instead.

Actually, your comment almost strikes me as mean. Instead of asking "can I make it not dynamically typed?", you're asking for "reasonable" behavior, implying the existing behavior is not reasonable, basically spitting on the SQLite projects decision.
VLC and adding/removing the sound delay. Not half-millisecond timing, but man it got super annoying +/-5ms.
My position is AFAICT the same in the entire thread. There is nothing "obviously" wrong and harmful with a lifestyle because it looks different than a modern lifestyle (that is not the result of tuning for positive mental health, but a lot of game theory toward the opposite) and that not everyone leads even today. Tribe size averages don't mean every family everywhere was connected with people outside their immediate family more often than required to reproduce. Plenty of herders still spend most of their time in their atomic family in Turkik places, Africa, etc and have done so since before agriculture. Are they all obviously mentally ill because they don't go to supermarkets?

(To me this is the same observation as that many people first experience schizophrenia at the stage when they are most likely going off to school, the school environment is a change and not obviously more defective for our mental health, those who have crisis might have unhealthy family relationships before hand, etc, etc.)

One very interesting feature of older agriculture is the way the fields were split up. With tons and tons of narrow strips of land in the open-field system. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-field_system)

In Sweden the gradual reforms towards today's uniform, or at least closely situated fields. Took as long as until the 18th century to really become a thing.
I suspect similar reforms elsewhere were just as late.

> " For example, I've never seen noise levels discussed when it comes to private aviation,..."

Then you must not have looked very much. Noise was the primary reason cited why the Concorde was not allowed to travel supersonic above the continent. But if you want something fresher then you only have to look at the Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) of 1990. Or the many airports where they have nighttime curfews because of noise concerns.

It is also an everyday concern while you are learning to fly. I was doing my PPL in Europe, so my anecdote is not directly related to FAA, but I remember a ton of "local rules and customs" around noise. Think about things like "at this airport we only do engine run-up at the far end to not disturb those people", or "at this (other) airport we only use the left pattern to avoid spooking the horses on that field there"
Some of the UI looks involved (like the chat UI). Much more complicated than other SwiftUI I have seen so far. I haven’t dug into SwiftUI at my day job, but would love to hear more details about your process. What issues did you run into? Did you use many third party dependencies?
(I'm the OP) It's not about Trump it is about the stated intent to amplify certain news outlets (they link to the New York Times as a "factual voice that needs to be amplified") and tone done or censor ("deplatform") others. I don't want my Browser to do that.
I've read that people intentionally bomb telegram groups with CP. Telegram automatically downloads shared images. This is going to be a crapfest.
I guess that makes sense considering we use the delay of sounds reaching each ear separately to determine the direction sound comes from.

Assuming the speed of sound is around 340 m/s, in half a millisecond it travels about 17 cm, which, I would guess, is larger than the average distance between our ears.

So, using that rough estimation, I would cautiously extrapolate that we probably detect a delay under 0.5 ms, but I'd be interested to see what "detect" means exactly.
Infinite scroll is a tool.

Your problem is with pointless dark-pattern ridden attention-grabbing social media using that tool (and rightfully so!).

Now imagine a useful application, like an email program.

Infinite scroll is useful there.

Delay compared to what? Video? I doubt normal stereo audio files are out of sync.
It can do a whole lot better than that, it can detect phase changes at a very small fraction of a millisecond. It has to because that's how we determine direction of a sound source at low frequencies.
