Maybe use the unbranded build of firefox? It has the great side effect of allowing you to actually edit and install extensions/add-ons without having to use Mozilla's security theater automated signing portal.

When some rare website doesn't work in my daily driver freedoms-respecting browser I'll load up Mozilla Firefox unbranded to do what needs to be done then close it.
Unreasonable and unsubstantiated expectations.

Web sites want you to visit them, they have no reason to barrier you. Some sites I use still have http and if a site wanted you to visit it in a specific way they'd use an app. If the model is to make web sites less accessible for profit it would need a compelling reason to visit it in spite of the barriers. It will never happen.
It's a work project, you'll have to take my word for it. I'm staring at the node gyp errors right now.
Docker desktop is a piece of crap on macOS. It allocates half your ram for a linux VM and then allocates other linux VMs inside it. If you're doing servers, that's 7+ Gb of ram wasted since your work VMs will at most use hundreds of megabytes.

I sure hope WSL does better :)
It’s probably the ublock origin breaking websites and not the multi-account containers, right?
Actually, those million dollar cars aren't really cars, they're collectibles. the real top of the line cars today are probably either a Porsche GT2 RS, an Aventador SVJ, or Cullinan if you only want comfort. And all of those only run about $300k-$500k
cause: Edge browser is started when Windows boots up, it sits there started but invisible, first window open is fast. It adds up to your windows start time and memory consumption.

solution: start firefox during windows startup, too.

https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1085268

however to start it invisible and behave like Edge, it may take additional tweaks. of course, it costs extra startup time and memory. Also, you can switch off Edge boot-time startup, if you want.
In 2024, font rendering in Firefox on Windows is quite bad compared to Chromium based browsers. You can see it a lot with Microsoft websites like outlook and azure devops. I tried, but switched back to Chrome (Ungoogled Chromium)
Exactly, and most countries promoting these visas refuse to clearly state what the foreign employers are exempt from or responsible for.

I went through this myself a few years ago. I applied for, and received, a Taiwanese Gold Card (a similar program that allowed for foreign employment). I spent months going back and forth with the Taiwanese office attempting to understand what my employer at the time would be signing up for. They couldn’t give a clear answer on whether my presence would create a nexus for my employer, whether my employer would become responsible for health care program payments, etc. They kept referring me to one of the big four consulting companies. In the end I gave up and never entered.
>while other distributions have been actively removing one's freedom to choose

I think that's a bit unfair. Everyone wants to support everything, but at the end of the day if you want to guarantee security and maintenance and do the job of a distribution you have limited resources on what you can look after. Something always has to give.

On any Linux distribution anyone can install what they want, but what you can genuinely claim to support is always limited by the amount of maintainers you have.
> Someone got to say it so I will. Most of your comments comes across like you've gone of the rails and started replacing competency, not to mention humility, with narcissism. Being so cocksure and backing it up with statements that you need to be as brilliant as you to "understand" is such a laughingly large red flag that I'm not surprised people interpret it as satire.

Where did I say that, exactly? I’ve said nothing about intellect. I’ve mentioned tacit knowledge multiple times, because I have enough experience to recognize how ludicrous a lot of this sounds. It sounded that way to me at first until I experienced it and saw the pieces fit together. That’s how tacit knowledge works, especially when it is counter to average knowledge. It’s the same reason American industry smashed Japanese cars in demonstration instead of listening to them when they said large batches were bad (I’m simplifying here somewhat)

And which part, specifically sounds incompetent? I’m happy to discuss that.

By the way, it's decidedly difficult to challenge a common belief, dare I say, orthodoxy, without sounding insane, confident, or even cocky. Could I be better at it? Of course, and I work at it, but I also am not here to make friends. I'm here to provide a perspective that I believe is sorely lacking from the development community and is drowned out by the orthodoxy, its acolytes, and its beneficiaries.

> I really hope your colleagues are onboard with this and that this isn't your own dogmatic crusade dragging them along.

Given their tenure on the team and their other options, it’s a pretty safe bet. It’s not my crusade, btw, it’s our teams goal to manage a relatively complex project with a relatively small team.

Also, someone has to say it, so I will. You have now dropped this conversation, which was about the work, into ad hominem and straw man attacks. That’s one of the worst part about this industry: people’s inability to debate and discuss without attacking people or glorifying celebrities.
After all the intense backlash they faced, they made it a 'limited' webview feature rather that dropping it entirely. Now that it's away from a standardization body, what's to prevent it from being developed unimpeded by public opposition? What's to stop them from expanding it to browsers once the 'feature' is ready? After all, this is exactly the pattern we saw with FLoC, 'privacy' sandbox and the Topics API.
To consider the act of asking rude depends totally on culture and milieu.
I'd imagine not everything can be paid on a credit card. E.g.: Rent.
Shouldn't we say "Some sites break user browsing experience"?
The one place Arch still is fairly opinionated compared to Gentoo is being all-in on systemd. That's not to say you _can't_ remove/replace it, and obviously there are Arch-like distros that give other options, but my sense is that GP's comment about Gentoo's draw being completely agnostic to whatever configuration you want makes Arch having even a single strong opinion feel pretty different to users who care about that. I think you're probably right that most people probably don't need that, but then again, even as an Arch user, I think most people probably don't really need the amount of customization that Arch lets you have; I just happen to like it.

Why do so many programming languages have different equals/assigns operators?

There are languages that combine them and apparently don't have any problems. Is it something to do with being strongly vs. weakly typed?
Your text-container width could be a little wider, but your main problem is that your colors are terrible.

Day-mode background could be anything from off-white to financial-times color (ft.com). Text color should be a dark grey.

A lot of the money they make from Firefox usage gets spent not on Firefox or the web but on social justice activism, which is invariably exclusionary of ordinary European and American men.

For example, they have an entire sub-fund devoted to nothing but ideological activism in Africa:

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-fund/awards/Africa...

A typical project is something like funding a mobile app (note: not a website), specifically for African women to teach them how to plant potatoes.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/growing-skills-confid...

They don't help men - the app is exclusively given to women - because "The issue" is, as they put it, that "In Tanzania, older men are the primary decision-makers in households and local communities".

They could fund things useful to everyone globally, or even things useful for the web specifically (radical), but they choose not to deliberately. Instead they fund content for competing platforms. That's because Mozilla is a generic left wing NGO that sees the Google/Firefox deal as merely a legacy endowment. Naive geeks use it and send them money, which enables them to divert funding to what they really care about.

Edit: primarily -> a lot of, which changes nothing about the argument
If you think that the emphasis of the name "natural gas" over other just "gas" or other common terms for it isn't intentional, then you are quite naive.

Education does not change how these sorts of tricks affect our brains. Research has shown that using the term "Natural Gas" creates false impressions of the its environmental impact.
Is it new, though?

I've been in the industry for a very long time, and being ghosted has always been my standard experience when I didn't get a position I interviewed for.
The effect of blindness though incubators was so pronounced that these days, assistive technology companies put a significant amount of revenue decrease towards this having been fixed. IOW, the incubator misuse created a whole generation of blind people and a whole industry around them.
Ironicly your example is one where Apple initially used someone else's trademarked brandname. IPhone had been initially owned and used by infogear and later was acquired by Cisco and used for a line of VoIP connected phones. Apple tried to negotiate a deal for the name but announced the Apple iPhone before they had actually finished negotiations over the name. Leading to a large legal battle that was eventually settled out of court where both companies were allowed to sell phones under the trademarked iPhone name.
Firefox Multi-Account Containers is far superior to multiple profiles, IMO.
cnt += a[i]

No, you've changed the right-hand side expression. Now you're adding a[i] to cnt and nowhere has it stated that a[i] is 1. But a[i] > 0's result is always zero or one.

I suggest what you want is this:

cnt += !!a[i]

Now, a[i] is not-notted -- the expression returns a bool indicating whether the value is converted to true.

or this, depending on your style:

cnt += bool(a[i])

which does the same thing
I’m online a lot and I go to a lot of different websites. I believe people when they say they’ve had issues with Firefox, but personally this is never been an issue I’ve only had to turn off ublock a few times over several years.
I do remember, which is why I will never use Firefox again. Our culture is already far too censorious, I have no desire to support those who want to go further.

At one place I worked, interviewing was one of the check marks you could participate in for promotions.
I don't see LLMs being close to "real" AI at all and Sam Altman also has said he does not see LLMs ever leading to AGI but also says he could be wrong.

As to why an LLM is not AI? People are wrongfully "afraid" that an LLM is somehow make "bad" information too easily available to people. Like how to rob a bank or make a bomb. The confusion is in thinking that an LLM can output something that it had not seen in training and supposedly all the training data is available elsewhere. Now, "data leaking" is a serious issue with LLMs but that has nothing to do with "AI".

An LLM is a good auto-complete, which is a good spell checker, which is a good search algorithm. I don't see how we ever get from context search and retrieval to "AI".
What I've never really understood is that though recruiters (external but also in-house) are typically paid on hiring candidates, much like sales people.

And in that paradigm, why is ghosting so common? As a recruiter, a lot of your value is your professional network that you can pull from to place candidates. Why would you ever ghost people that, while not a good fit for this role, could be a good fit for a different role in the future?

Even as someone not in recruiting, I've made several connections with folks in the interviewing process (both as interviewer and interviewee) that have led to either new business deals or job placement later on.

Just never really made sense to me, interviewing is "free" networking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I lived in a rural area on septic and well, my electric bill was often under $200 in the summer, running AC fairly heavily, and taking care of ~6 dense garden beds full of veggies for ~6 months... and regularly watering 1 acre of grass to keep it from drying too much. We even had a timer to auto-water the garden and parts of the lawn... We'd even let it run overnight on a few occasions (needing to water, but coming home very late)

I hardly considered water a costly resource

On "city" water now in suburbs, I followed a similar pattern for grass on a 1/4 acre lot, and heavily watered the lawn one month, and I had a $300 water & sewer bill -- on top of my $100 electric bill.

Water went from being something I hardly considered to something I am far more careful about 'wasting'.
Every router I've met still runs a firewall that blocks incoming traffic by default IPv6 or no. My guess on this kind of thing would generally be that the infected computer reacher out to a service controlled by the hacker to establish the shell and the reporter misunderstood, or that the dev connected to a VPN controlled by the attacker, effectively bypassing the firewall, otherwise something is really badly configured on the devs end.
> treat candidates with respect

> 95% of clowns out there you interview

What's your company affiliation?
Yeah. If someone was to say their clothes had hook-and-loop fastener, I would never think of velcro. I would think of the metal hooks and loops (or eyes) on bra straps, old jackets, dress pants, etc.
>People buying the bare minimum also means there's little investment going on, which needless to say is bad for economic growth.

Not spending money indirectly contributes to investment. If you imagine 50% of the population suddenly decided to not spend any money for 10 years, and they hold 50% of all the money in circulation, in the short term this is essentially equivalent to burning 50% of the money supply, in that the reduction of the supply of money in the market leads to an increase in the value of money, which allows the people spending money at that time (including people making investments) to obtain more goods and services for their money.
This is anecdotal but, if the new normal was 10 years ago then sure. I stared out my career then and ghosting was common….
“ It will bring more than £500 million in savings for UK consumers in the first ten years.”

If you believe that I have a monorail to sell you! Why pass onto consumers what you can take as profit.

Norwegian news is reporting that the price of electricity will increase a tiny amount (about £10-15 a year) in both Norway & the UK as an increased flow of power means more bidders for it, pushing the price up when power is scarce (which seems to be most of the time).

> Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data... nefarious technologies that hurt your privacy.

I think privacy activists need a more compelling "so what" than "it's better for privacy" to convince people it's worth switching. They seem to operate under the thesis that people were being duped, as opposed to having made a more or less concious choice to trade privacy for convenience, which maybe was true 10 years ago but feels antiquated today.
Are you sure that your tracking protection is set to "Standard"? You'd have to change it manually to stricter protection.

I know of several sites that break if you go beyond Standard, but none if you don't.
> people will not buy a $200 book even if it had $100k worth knowledge in it.

I remember paying crazy amounts for books at university and wouldn't have been surprised to have to pay $200 for a book. As it was I bought mine second hand to save on cost.

When people can expense such items then I also imagine a $200 book selling well when properly targeted and marketed.

What sells even better though are courses, and there are many courses out there aimed at corporates which are in the thousands of dollars so again, $200 doesn't seem crazy at all in comparison.
Don’t I have a right to avoid crazy or lepers?

>China as a country with relatively low GDP per capita also manages to maintain high foreign exchange reserves.

And they're only able to pull it off by having a high trade surplus. Needless to say, not everyone can have a high trade surplus, so it's unclear how this is a policy that can generalize.

>if the US hadn't gone to war in Iraq and Afghanistan it could have a few trillion dollars of reserves with no drop in productive spending.

If the pandemic is anything to go by, if there's a surplus the money would get plowed into tax cuts, not reserves.

Google's got a major conflict of interest with adsense and I'm sure they'll eventually ramp up the war on adblockers to a degree that will make manifest v3 look like a joke.

If Firefox decides to not implement blocking restrictions they will then have the chance to be the only browser people will still be able to normally use the internet with. That's the only chance they have for any kind of resurgence from their currently laughable 3% market share.

Small gimmicks like privacy, battery life, customizability, stability, etc. are frankly what 99.9% of people don't give a half a shit about. They will only make the switch from default once they're genuinely annoyed to the point where they can no longer use Chrome/ium. For Firefox users that moment unfortunately happens every time a government website doesn't work.

The reason I switched to Firefox was for plugins. Then I switched to chrome when an update killed all my plugins and settings for them. Every time I tried Firefox it seems to do it again and again so I'm on ungoogled chromium until there's a good reason to switch. I used librewolf or iceweasel occasionally but there's not a good reason to switch since plugins don't delete themselves on chrome (as often).
Case in point, Nvidia video super resolution is buggy in Firefox, it will randomly stop working until you restart the whole browser.

Yes some sites are "broken" with uBlock Origin. I don't find it to be many, however. I run into paywalls much more often than I do problems with my browser settings.

It's exactly how it works but only if you have mutliple screens.

My comment was that, for this reason, 2 or 3 smaller (ish- ~27") 16:9 4k screens [1] (previously, 4–6 even smaller 4:3 screens) works much better for me because I can switch the spaces on my Macbook and i3/Sway virtual desktops on my Linux machine individually for each screen.

If we're talking about having a smaller number of giant screens it would need to be able to be partitioned into logical "zones" for virtual desktops to enable this way of managing sets of windows together, and I've not found anything that really does this, let alone does it well (though honorable mention to HerbstluftWM [2] which I think, with patience, could probably do something pretty close).

[1] preferably 16:10 but that seems to have died out as an aspect ratio :(

AFAIK attacks on sufficiently important private infra is also considered an attack on the state. There is no meaningful difference, other than the scale of the attack and the importance of that infra.

The main defining factor in how the state responds to such an attack is whether escalation is in the interest of the victim. E.g. recent attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea.
High mass of the Cybertruck seems to have benefited it here. Side impact to a lighter vehicle would've meant more acceleration/trauma to the passengers and thrown the vehicle further off course. If you're a safe driver, a heavy vehicle seems like a good one to be in.
> only "requirements for IT services and compliances" seems to favor large corporations.

Of course other two matter. Large corp will have its own property management department and can get better deals for good locations to open new pharmacy or other medical location. Further large corp can offer more reliable income and better insurance to Doctors and pharmacists than small single store pharmacy or doctors with individual practice.

See cost of group medical insurance for employees in big corp vs insurance for self-employed individuals. Simply it favors big corp.
I like the MBP hardware. I think once I feel comfortable relying on Asahi it would be nice to run that instead of MacOS.

If this were the case, such a book would be an immediate buy for me. The problem is that you will have to show me that such a book will bring me this value in my culture/country (i.e. not USA) with a very high likelihood - this will be very hard.
