Complain to website owners about sites that don't work on Firefox. Try to provide detailed steps to reproduce the error, detailed error messages from the console (control meta J), and screenshots.

I think Firefox enforces some security constraints more strictly than Chrome. One error I've seen often has been blocked resources due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing without the proper permissions, such as via Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.

For security related errors, I emphasize that this is a potential security issue and I use FireFox for its security.
You can install it with AdBlock on mobiles your friends and family uses.

You just pointed out why everyone don't appreciate it.

If "everyone can appreciate it", why isn't it a native/default part of the browser? This way, you wouldn't have to install and maintain it for your friends and family.
> If I can reliably lose every basketball game, that doesn't make be perfect at basketball

What they are saying is that when you have an algorithm you can reverse it to do the opposite. If you could reverse your basketball skills exactly that would be true for your statement.
Obviously false? I’m sorry but “private” and “public” are exact opposites to one another. Being “in public” is quite exactly where you don’t have a general expectation of being “in private”.
It takes exceptionally determined individuals and considerable effort to build and setup software and systems that deviate from mainstream "best-practices", for example to keep your data actually safe (in every sense of the word) long-term. These companies probably have their hands full solving their domain problems and running a business. Security is not mentioned as a main selling point on their respective websites.

Without a higher public awareness of data security, severe punishment for any breaches and failures to keep data safe, and a software ecosystem that prioritizes security much higher I feel you are right expecting the worst.
Yes x265 is not in the conversation for even top 5 HEVC encoders, regardless of presets. [1] It can be especially surprising because x264 is easily the best AVC encoder. For whatever reason (patents, lack of browser support etc) there just hasn't been as much engineering effort put into x265.

Now things like NVENC are even worse in terms of compression. Any GPU accelerated encoder trades compression efficiency for speed. Even x265 with the slowest presets will demolish any GPU encoder in terms of compression, including the MainConcept paid one when it's run in GPU-accelerated mode. This is unfortunately not explained in GUIs like Adobe tools. They just have a checkbox or dropdown to select GPU acceleration, but don't mention that it's not just acceleration - a different algorithm will be used that can't achieve the best compression.

GPU accelerated compression can still be very useful for scenarios where you need speed (e.g. have a deadline) or just don't care about quality (e.g. will publish it only on social media where it will be recompressed anyway). However when you have time to wait and want top quality, the slowest CPU-only code path will always win.

I wonder if it's just because it's new. I remember years ago the first 1.x versions of libopus used way more CPU than Vorbis to decode, now they're comparable. (This was on a teeny little chip where decoding 1 Vorbis stream took a measurable amount of CPU)
I doubt that a court or regulator would see that as a revocation of consent when the consent was explicitly given by the user. DNT is a global so its continuing to be sent to the site doesn't really provide any evidence that the user means to revoke the consent that they just gave. All it really indicates is that the user doesn't want to turn off DNT globally.

And posting your comment is vice signaling.
I tried to explain in this piece:

https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/18/bcachefs/
My problem with the argument is not that it's anti-feminist, it is that it's a broad-swath argument that could be levied against any number of beliefs, and the author deliberately chose to wield it only and exclusively against feminist and anti-racist positions.

I made that quite clear in my original comment by suggesting several conservative "luxury beliefs" that I believe the author would have to criticize on the same grounds, but failed to do so. This is not "deflection", it's showing that the article employs double standards and is thus intellectually dishonest.

The "predictable" part, in my estimation, is that this kind of argument would be used by a right-wing author. To be saying the thing by saying it, conservative cultural critics, when measuring liberal discourse, are incapable of coming up with a bar that they themselves don't trip over.
I was thinking this same thing. I live in what the map has as a "pinkish red" area (right outside of white) and I just recently camped in a brown orange area (3 levels darker). The difference was noticeable but not a crazy amount. I really wonder how much darker the blue or not even colored areas are.

I think they type less randomly and stick to some repeating patterns.
Plus unless you are streaming or producing a ton of video most users can afford to wait a bit for software encoding (which is often better quality as well). So encoding is far less important than decoding.
> ...which is why I've proposed support for AV1 and Opus for the Interop 2024 effort...

A very nice initiative!

Feels like we've been lagging behind on development in this area for some time. And with a wider support (in both hardware and software) more actors should be able to enter this field in the future.

I really hope this gets enough traction in a near future!
We did something similar with Moodle for the students of the fist year of my University. The fist quiz includes fractions, because they still can operate with fractions :( .

One of my coworkers wrote the options and the hints for the wrong answers. She has too modes: normal (where she is very smart) and student simulator (where she makes all the common mistakes).

I even patched Moodle so she can see all the hints without clicking in each option.
We've something similar (tax credits) in Alberta, and I love it.
> Do people really use camera for meetings everyday? Is it an American thing? Unless you're interviewing for a job or otherwise introducing someone I don't see the benefit.

I bet it's a company culture thing.

I'm an American, and no one where I work ever has their camera on, except by accident. It's almost a faux pas, like not being on mute: if someone has their camera, someone will mention it so they can turn it off.

Early in the pandemic, we had capacity issues with our then on-prem VPN, which I think prevented any pressure to have your camera on in a meeting. No one would want it anyway: very few even had profile pictures uploaded until some VP mandated it.

The only exception is higher-level managers giving large presentations.
Two other common use cases I have for more advanced software like 7-Zip, beyond compression ratio, are the ability to select AES for encryption (vs the weak old school ZipCrypto) and the ability to tar things.

Sometimes I don't want compression at all, so I'll tar instead, just because it's easier to work with one big file over many small ones. Tar is also convenient for beaming groups of files over netcat.
What evidence makes you believe this?

I _quickly_ checked the study [1] and didn't see anything obvious.

Given that our voices reveal so much about the state of a human (think of mood, emotions), I think it's at least possible that voices could reveal something about metabolism. Just we cannot hear it because hearing diabetes is not as useful as hearing something about the mood of another person.

> Less than $1 per hour for many regular social media users

Paying $1 per hour solely to remove ads is pretty high. Netflix, Hulu, et al are offering content they created for about $1 per hour. A lot of video games are less than $1 per hour to get content to enjoy.

It's not that the absolute price is too high, it's that the goods being offered are terrible and not worth more than a nominal price.
Not the best advice for authoritarian countries, where you domain can be seized for any reason or subjected to random repressive policies.
OK, so the complaint was irrelevant to the conversation.

These border checks are waived, not abolished. In times of crisis, they can (and were, during the Pandemic for example) reinstated. Countries can impose movement restriction for internal regions as well, but these carry a much higher legal overhead.

Also, Schengen borders are transparent only for full EU residents. If your visa and right of abode is restricted to a particular country, the borders are still very relevant.

Even for EU residents, the borders are still relevant as they demarcate places with quite different civil and penal law codes.

> "If they bring in strikebreakers then that's completely unique," IF Metall's bargaining agreement secretary, Veli-Pekka Säikkälä, told the newspaper. "That would be crossing all boundaries. That kind of thing happened in Sweden in the 1920s and 30s."

Virtue signaling is the expression of a conspicuous, self-righteous moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating good character. It doesn't actually have to be virtuous, it only needs to signal virtue to others.

Virtue signalling usually does not genuinely solve anything anyway it's merely supposed to impress upon you that "this person is good", that's the entire goal. Whether it's meaningful or not doesn't enter into it.
I hope people get to read your comment to understand indeed what kind of world you are advocating.
Many employers currently have a "work from the office 3/4/5 days a week" policy, but don't really enforce it.

This will force them to enforce it, with the threat of having to pay a big bill if any employee claims to be working from home.

But how does this agent interact with the outside world? It's just a piece of silicon buzzing with electricity until it outputs a message that some OTHER system reads and interprets.

Maybe that's a set of servos and robotic legs, or maybe it's a Bloomberg terminal and a bank account. You'll notice that all of these things are already regulated if they have enough power to cause damage. So at the end the GP is completely right; someone has to hook up the servos to the first LLM-based terminator.

This whole thing is a huge non-issue. We already (strive to) regulate everything that can cause harm directly. This regulation reaches these fanciful autonomous AI agents as well. If someone bent upon destroying the world had enough resources to build an AI basilisk or whatever, they could have spent 1/10 the effort and just created a thermonuclear bomb.

Well yes, but if you used a compiled language you have to make a new release based on this commit.

What I mean is, if you have v2 of your software that introduces a bugfix for module A that's perfectly fine and a bugfix for module B that breaks everything, you can just roll back just module B directly with your deployment pipeline.

There's no need to go back to the code base and make a new release.
Of course, there are exceptions. In some places, your only viable alternative might be .onion.

I couldn't agree more. It's a real shame that the standard is that software is never "finished" anymore. Using a work-in-progress is always problematic.

Unless you wrote it in HQ9+ [1], I wouldn't be so sure that it's finished.

If you wrote it in C, I wouldn't be surprised that in a few years time you'd have to check a few security policies before you can actually write to the stdout file descriptor. And in JavaScript, the top level "console" object will probably be removed to avoid possible namespace clashes.

While the conclusion doesn't follow from the premise through the mere application of logic, I would note that when I was a kid all the high performance stuff was done in assembly "because compilers can't optimise properly", and yet since sometime around when I went to university (± a few years) we've all had compilers that are in almost all cases better at this than their operators.

Also, GPT-3.5 is already a better coder than a few humans whose mistakes I've had to fix. 3.5 is nowhere near the best, yet it's already eating at the bottom rungs despite being free.
My town (Dripping Springs, TX) was pretty dark when I moved here 10 years ago. We could at least see the Milky Way back then.

Today it claims to be a dark sky certified community, but this seems baloney. No more Milky Way. And while the town claims to have all those regulations to protect the dark, they start right off by ignoring those rules for the schools' football fields and stuff.

> Unless every possible error scenario gets its own descriptive error,

Yeah, that's kinda the point. Every error code gets its own text description. That's what I do, what my company does, with our code. Because technicians don't have the ability to look up error codes like engineers can. And even if they did, the ability to look up where/when the error code was generated doesn't tell you what to do about it.

Microsoft is just way below average in this area and counts on its locked-in customers not knowing how much better other companies are.

It's not a single difference, and not something simple to point out. Because yes, at surface they are mostly the same. They mostly look similar, behave similar, Firefox is on surface just another browser like chrome. Which is the problem, because Firefox does not offer any features outside the core-ability of Web-Browsing.

Chrome on the other side has good integration into Googles ecosystem, has better support from Webapps (yes, this sometimes is a relevant topic), is depending on the platform significant faster, and seems to have some better side-features here and there. So its whole identity is to be THE Google-Browser, well polished for the modern World Wide Web.

Similar stuff is with Opera, Vivaldi, they all have their own special identity which they support with accompanying features. Like Vivaldi being an app-suite which offers more than just web browsing, or Opera with their Gaming-Browser catering to give gamers a good selling point. Not sure that Brave is doing today, but they were once strongly focused on AdBlock and earning Money?

Firefox on the other side has nothing of this. It once was the everything-browser, which could be anything through extensions. A mail-client, ftp-client, web-archiver, note-app, office suite, and much much more, all depending on the Users preferences. But that is lost, and now it can't even restore lost basic features. At this point it's just a window to render Web-stuff, with a better Adblocker and customization than Chrome. And even this is not advertised well. I mean the last ads I saw from Mozilla were not even about anything specific, just random pictures...

If you drive into the office they don't have to pay for your car, insurance, registration, gas, etc.

I just thought of this and the mobile chips with DDR would even work and probably be super affordable (not as fast) or even GDDR. Not sure how intel packages their iGPU and if it can do this as well - I have only followed the AMD side.

My biggest expense being remote is that I need an extra room for my office. Besides that, that would probably be heating in winter and electricity, but these are small compared to the cost of an extra room.

>But unlike them, we don't impose any licensing restrictions - for example, buying TinyPilot you find yourself bound by a subscription, and if you stop paying, your OS will no longer receive updates. With PiKVM, you don't need to do this - the device is yours forever, with updates until the end of time.

This is true and is a fundamental difference between PiKVM and TinyPilot.

TinyPilot charges a yearly subscription for customer support and software updates because those things have ongoing costs.

I don't think small businesses can realistically promise customers free support and updates for life. It may work in the short term, but at a certain point, it's not sustainable for a vendor to spend their limited support and dev resources on customers who purchased hardware five years ago and will never pay the vendor another dime.
Finished software is not feeding any developer's children. I hate it.
