  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

    Jump

  • So that means they are just supporting it as long as it is easy to do, and that they are not brave enough to fork chromium.

  • Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

    Jump

  • The only way I ever used passkeys is with bitwarden, and there you are sharing them between all bitwarden clients.

    From my very limited experience, pass key allows to login faster and more reliable compared to letting bitwarden enter passwords and 2fa keys into the forms, but I still have the password and 2fa key stored in bitwarden as a backup in case passkey breaks.

    To me, hardware tokens or passkeys are not there to replace passwords, but to offer a faster and more convenient login alternative. I do not want to rely on specific hardware (hardware token, mobile phone, etc.), because those can get stolen or lost.

  • Germany’s 49-euro ticket resulted in significant modal shift from road to rail

  • That is why we can't have nice things. Everything needs to make a profit and cannot simply be good.

    Infrastructure shoudn't be required to make a profit. They are there for the public good. What's next? Paying for sitting on public benches and entering public parks? Paying for the privilege to exit your house and use the public sidewalk? We already have to pay to use public toilets in some cases...

    These things should be available to everyone for free and build and financed via general taxes.

  • You where talking about "system wide AdGuard", which is not the browser addon, but an app that uses DNS blocking, be it by either letting people set DNS servers manually, or automatically through VPN. Their VPN does not break TLS connection by inserting custom certificates and MITM proxies, so they cannot read/modifiy content.

    It might be possible to use TLS breaking proxies for systemwide ad blocking, but even that wouldn't help, because nowadays a lot of content and ads are loaded dynamically via javascript. So a browser is required to filter ads.

  • DNS ad blockers are not sufficient to block all ads and often overly broad. So they have much higher rate of false positives and negatives compared to in-browser ad blockers. Differentiating between ads and useful content based on domain names will become more and more difficult. Both might use some url from the same cloud provider, and blocking those breaks a lot of stuff.

  • The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'

  • Tim Sweeny when he notices that enshittification in games doesn't seem to work very well anymore: industry is going through a "generational change".

  • Calls grow in Germany to ban far-right AfD

    Jump

  • Banning AfD is the best short term solution, it needs to be followed by a stronger social focus of the government.

    One reason for conservative and right-wing sentiment is fear of the future in the populace. Fear causes people to try to isolate themselves from "others" and wanting to horde and protect their stuff instead of supporting others.

    If the government is able to alleviate those fears, they will not see a need for fear anymore. But that is a long process, which constantly gets sabotaged by commercial outrage media, foreign intervention, social media, conservative/right-wing politicians, etc.

  • US IT company ABBYY has dismissed all Russian employees.

    Jump

  • Still silly, if they aren't confident to weed out Russian spies with Russian nationality, they are even less confident to weed out Russian spies with other nationalities. I would think that most undercover Russian spies don't have Russian nationality, because that is an obvious attribute, which is easy for a government secret agency to change.

    There really is nothing better than background checks, and privilege separation for this kind of stuff.

  • Germany arrests woman who allegedly passed airport details to suspected spy for China

    Jump

  • Because part of the right-wing rise in Europe is caused by foreign influences of authoritarian states like Russia and China in order to destabilize democracies by divide and conquer strategies and to validate their oppressive governments. Higher living standards for normal people in their own or other countries are a threat to their power.

  • of=/dev/sda

    Jump

  • That might make it even more dangerous, because you get used to flash to usb sticks on "/dev/sda". And when you then use a device with a built-in sata drive, you might forget checking in a hurry.

    Happened to me a once or twice. I am now only using bmap tools for this.

  • Under a toot announcing that firefox now supports CHIPS (Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State)

    Jump

  • If you don't like the term "toot" it's fine, it shouldn't matter who coined it. Don't make your likes or dislikes dependent on who stuff or ideas come from.

    I just wanted to explain some history of that term.

    The knowledge of that history and context is what should influence your taste, not the specific individuals involved.

  • Under a toot announcing that firefox now supports CHIPS (Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State)

    Jump

  • There is a bigger history on this. Involving the Mastodon developer Gargon and a famous YouTuber Hbomberguy:

    https://mastodon.social/@Hbomberguy/146524

    Gargon, at that time wasn't aware of the double meaning, as they where non-native English speaker.

    It got changed back to "publish" relatively recent.

    Personally I liked "toot" it was unique and funny. Many Mastodon-Users still prefer or use "toot".

  • Comenting code

  • An interesting concept would be if all hand on the 12 clocks would work, but the hands of the clock in the middle are stuck at 12 position, this way the hands in the middle would point to the clock showing the correct time.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards

    Jump

  • This is the same between many different software development disciplines, fpga devs (or hardware devs for that matter) vs. driver devs, driver devs vs. backend dev, backend devs vs frontend devs, integrators vs everyone.

  • Satisfactory's developers had no idea how popular its 1.0 launch was going to be: 'We try not to focus too much on that stuff and just make it as big as we possibly can'

    Jump

  • I am sort of in the same boat, because the game gradually unlocks improved recipes, I end up rebuilding and rebuilding the factory over and over.

    Going vertically doesn't really help, you have to re-plan and rebuild the layout every time some new technology unlocks. And (re)building in first person perspective, is rather fiddly. I doesn't help when better tools are only available in later tiers, when I get fed up rebuilding the factory over and over before I even reach it.

    I am fine with iterating over designs, but I get fed up when I cannot create a modular design, change it once and update all instances of that design in on go. Instead I have to manually rebuild everything.

    ShapeZ 2 also has a similar problem, but they at least offer copy&paste early in game.

    For Satisfactory I am waiting for mods to hopefully make factory building less cumbersome.

    I would prefer if Satisfactory would focus more on designing new factory modules and optimizing, scaling up existing ones. So a first milestone would be, create 30 iron plates per minute, next 30 iron plates/min and 30 iron rods/minute, then both of those and copper wires 30/minute. The maybe 120 plates, 30 rods and 30 wires, and so on and so forth. That way the player doesn't remove their factories, just and new ones or optimize/scale up existing ones. Together with a way to create, modify and instantiate blueprints, organized in a library, the boring and fiddly/gridy stuff of (re)building the factory is lessened. Also avoiding copy and pasting factories, by creating sub-designs and instantiating them would be great.

  • If a game offers multiplayer, they should also offer a dedicated server that people can setup for themselves.

    For MMOs, they can make the servers optionally federated.
