We should probably clarify that although we are pointing our post to our Github repo, it isn’t technically open source. It’s something we’d like to explore in the future with Dropbase though. At the moment, you can self-host our Client and Worker.

We actually started with just releasing the Worker for self-hosting. Then based on feedback from one of our friends and early users, we decided to also distribute the client for self-hosting due to security concerns. Maybe in the future if we also allow self-hosting our backend API it could make sense to distribute Dropbase differently!

I'm not sure what your use case is, but Firefox has Containers [1], allowing you to isolate different online identities into containers. It separates the cookies and storage for each container.

An example of where I use this is for separating my personal Gmail from my uni's Google's Workspace account. It's annoying clicking on a uni Google Doc link only for it to block me because it chose my default login which is my personal Gmail. I have to switch between Google accounts (which I believe wasn't possible until recently?). With Containers however, I just open the link in my "Uni" container and I'm good to go. No fuss.

I have seen classmates use Chrome profiles for the same example above, but from what they showed me they couldn't have their personal profile and their school profile open at the same time - they had to switch between profiles each time. With Containers, I can access tabs from all containers at the same time. Containers are colour coded so you know which is which.

There are additional containers available. If you don't like Meta snooping on you outside of their websites, there's a Facebook container by Mozilla [2] that isolates your web activity from Facebook.

Other than that, Firefox does appear to support profiles, but it appears to be a bit clunky. [3] I've never used it and until @dralley's comment didn't even know it existed.

I don't know. I definitely did grind programming a lot as a teenager and for a few years as a young adult. But the grinding was effortless to me. It was as if this type of activity was replenishing my energy reserves instead of making me tired. I rarely needed to take breaks and indeed frequently forgot to eat or sleep when deep in my sessions. So it wasn't a struggle at all, but it was still a grind I would say. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the word and it would be better to say it was a lot of time spent, at the very least.

I don't think anyone can do this, I think you need to have that connection with programming where it is harder resist it than it is to do the work. But it doesn't mean people like the author of the article have a secret sauce and them recounting their experience to their peers to inspire them isn't worth much to them as a result I would expect. It's the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" type a thing I think.

BTW I don't mean to say I was a super duper genius as a teenager for whom programming was like breathing. I refused to study anything, I only enjoyed discovering things myself and I had no direction in my programming knowledge collection at all. A more disciplined person would have beaten me easily, and many have. Despite the ease with which programming came to me I didn't do that much productive stuff. I was mostly just having immense amounts of fun and joy. I do feel a bit sad sometimes about not getting a bigger edge now, but realistically, when push comes to shove, I wouldn't change it anyway.
Thanks to using 23 and Me. I found out that my dad was not actually my biological dad and that I have a half sister and a large extended family that I did not know existed. I'm fully aware of the privacy and PII concerns, but for me it was absolutely worth it, both to better understand who I am and to find a large group of relative who I never knew were there (and who have been incredibly welcoming to me). It's a trade-off.

Here's what Jon Postel wrote in IEN 41[1] in June 1978:

> The time to live is set by the sender to the maximum time the segment is allowed to be in the internetwork system. If the segment is in the internetwork system longer than that the segment should be destroyed. This field should be decreased at each point that the internet header [is] processed to reflect the time spent processing the segment. Even if no local information is available on the time actually spent, the field should be decremented. The time is measured in units of seconds (i.e. the value 1 means one second). Thus the maximum time to live is 255 seconds or 4.25 minutes.

A router would have to track of when each packet enters and leaves and then round to the nearest number of seconds.

Additionally, they were ordered to disable all safety mechanisms and run the reactor in a known unsafe condition, causing a massive long-term disaster in... the Ukraine.

The way I attempt to explain the difference between the negative and positive coefficient of reactivity is it's like one car accelerates by pressing the gas pedal and the other car has an engine running WFO and all you ever do is press the brake pedal. It isn't a perfect analogy, but I think it gets the general concept across.

I’m not sure if the specifics but I think embedding an alternative rendering engine within a browser already built around a different one would be a significant chunk of work.

I could imagine a sort of quirks mode though, just a few hand selected chrome bugs/features implemented in gecko to make it behave just a little more like chrome. What a horrible future but it’s a possibility.
Social Security is funded by FICA / SECA payroll taxes. Broad attacks on the government’s ability to tax income are not likely to leave that unaffected.
> The US median individual wealth figure is now over $100,000. It's higher than either Germany or Sweden

To be fair you did pick some of the poorest "rich" West European countries. A median French person is about 25% richer than an America, a Briton by 40% and a Belgian by about 240%.

Of course all of those wealth metrics come down to home-ownership and inequality. Sweden for instance has one of the highest levels of wealth inequality in the world and even quite a bit higher than the US.
> > but how can a house not be a wealth store?

> The same way that a car is not a wealth store, but is, instead, a wealth pit.

That's not even remotely comparable. A car depreciates because it wears out somewhat quickly. A house can last many lifetimes so it's going to retain value for a very long time.
I know land vs sea is different, but after decades of nuclear submarines working beautifully it's just so sad to me we don't have abundant SMRs by now.
It's not impossible, just currently not worth the tradeoffs of enforcing. There's nothing stopping governments from passing laws holding IP address owners responsible for the traffic they originate. At that point VPNs and Tor exit nodes will stop allowing illegal activity. VPNs are already moving this direction, no longer supporting port forwarding ie hosting content on bittorent.
I guess I'm dense, because I don't understand why someone would switch to apple from android because they become priced equally? why would a price driven person make a completely lateral move?
Same for me! I have been always using Firefox as my main browser for at least 15 years and never had any problems. Actually, I don't really understand why so many tech-savvy people continue to use Chrome... Just switch to Firefox, for foxs sake!

Uptake of updates is, uptake of devices isn’t. Here I have 1st gen retina iPad from 2012 which is on the latest iOS available for it - 9.3.5 (from 2016, current version is 17.1.2). As of today FaceTime and iMessage still work perfectly fine.

In absolute terms it's not hard to believe (despite tiny sample size in the tweet) given the rise in popularity of seltzers and other low ABV drinks in the past 2-3 years. But in share of craft as % of the overall beer market? I suspect it's stable or even increasing given they're becoming more mainstream (albeit not sure if some original craft brands still qualify now that they're so dominant).
Yes, it's absolutely possible. What's not possible is the society respecting privacy. As a whole, nobody respects it anymore, some even engage in half-assed devil's advocating about it.

People are easy to mislead and so that's what's been done. In the future, privacy will have to be enforced through jammers and Faraday cages.

I hope I also did not accuse it of being good, but the observation I was trying to make is that -- according to the article, I have not myself confirmed the claim -- they run the card evaluation logic and gameplanning locally, not in a data center full of H100s, which I consider to be quite a feat given the free-text-y self-modifying rules of M:TG
I've worked with a ton of start-ups and digital agencies on countless projects by now in my career, and I can honestly say supporting Firefox has never been a priority. I've tried to push for cross-browser testing many times, but according to the stats (which management makes these decisions with) Firefox users are such a tiny, insignificant amount of most websites and products that it doesn't make a lot of sense, which I'm sure even further adds to abysmal Firefox usage when sites work badly or don't work at all because nobody tests anything with it. Ce'st la vie, I guess.

I get where you're coming from but we can expect a doubling every 2 years in the ability of AI systems, and billions of dollars are being thrown at it every year to ensure that happens.

Elon has long been on record saying that he wanted to create the "Everything App" -- he wants to turn X into the WeChat of the rest of the world (starting with the US). The cynical side of me thinks that if he pulls it off he will have created a tool of perfect surveillance as well as convenience.
This actually seems like a great use-case for FOSS. Lots of people have tried their hand at this, so why don't we all put a little effort in to get it done?
Thanks for expanding on your point of view. Now that I read you, I'd say that we fundamentally agree.

My experience has been to use carefully constructed Docker images that have the required dependencies to build the project. This removed the need for installing everything in the correct version on each dev system, and ensured a commonly shared base system on which to build stuff.

However I agree that a "context" can have lots of moving parts, and I was disregarding most of them as "exercise for the reader" aka. devs ought to know what they're doing if they wanted to build locally. CI can help a lot with that.

While I'd like that percentage to be higher and would also like to prohibit corporations from owning thousands of housing units, let's also recognize that it is nowhere near a "small cabal" who own all housing, when well over 50% is owned by those who live in them.

> So why not Wikipedia?

- Cheap to host, just text and images

- Funded by non-profit with too much funding

- All images are permissively licensed

- Easily archived

- Easily forked

The only potential "death" I can ever see happening to Wikipedia is the kind that happens from some kind of fracturing, similar to what we often see with fan wikis. But this kind of outcome could be a good thing really, multiple competing Wikipedia's would probably help keep each other honest, and wouldn't functionally be too different than the non-english sections of Wikipedia that already exist.

If anything I'm a bit concerned that Wikipedia might be getting a bit too influential than an encyclopedia aught to be.
The app is not redistributing it, it just requests a server to get validation data (since anyway the actual library loading involves patching every system function, making the function independent from the host device, see [0] if you want to see how it's stubbed to run on Linux using a data.plist file), and thus there is no need to emulate it on device.
