  • 4 browsers that will continue to support uBlock Origin and other ad blockers with Manifest V2

    Jump

  • Look, I'm not attacking them over this, as you rightly said, it has plenty of other drawbacks and concerns, I'm just emphasising that Google do have a large degree of influence over them. For instance, Chromium is dropping manifest v2 support, so Brave pretty much has to do the same. They've said that, as Chromium has a switch to keep it enabled until June (iirc) they've enabled that, but after Chromium drops manifest v2 the most they can do is try to support a subset of it as best they can. The Brave devs may not want to drop support, but Google have decreed it will be dropped, so they end up dropping it and having to put in extra work to keep even a subset working for some period of time.

    If Brave gets even a moderate market share, Google will continue to mess them around like this as they really don't like people not seeing their adverts.

    Ultimately it's software, so the Brave devs can do pretty much whatever they want, limited by the available time and money. Google's influence extends to making that either easier or harder, it much the same way as they influence the Android ecosystem.

  • Both Brave and Chrome are built on the open-source Chromium browser engine

    That's from the Brave website: https://brave.com/compare/chrome-vs-brave/

    Yes there are plenty of changes, but it's built on it, and shaped by it, and Chromium is heavily influenced by Google. If chromium doesn't support v2 manifests it is unlikely that Brave will. In this particular case it may be that Brave's ad blocking and privacy features are equivalent to uBO, but it's still underpinned by an engine that Google has strong influence over, so it can't completely shake their influence.

  • Flight Simulator 2024's huge ambition means 'you can now exit the plane, walk around… you can land on every ship, and it looks like a first person shooter environment'

    Jump

  • Dude, what are you actually trying to make right now? Like, this isn't flight sim stuff anymore.

    It'll only be done when you can get out of your plane, walk around, find a computer and start playing Flight Simulator 2024.

  • Hunting for bugs as in entomology, or hunting for bugs as in testing software? I'm down for either, I just need to know whether I need a magnifying glass or a console and vim.

  • TriliumNext Notes - The last note taking app you should ever need

    Jump

  • It's a non-starter for me because I sync my notes, and sometimes a subset of my notes, to multiple devices and multiple programs. For instance, I might use Obsidian, Vim and tasks.md to access the same repository, with all the documents synced between my desktop and server, and a subset synced to my phone. I also have various scripts to capture data from other sources and write it out as markdown files. Trying to sync all of this to a database that is then further synced around seems overly complicated to say the least, and would basically just be using Trillium as a file store, which I've already got.

    I've also be burnt by various export/import systems either losing information or storing it in a incompatible way.

  • NATO's having a presence in a member state is protection. It reduces the chance of opportunists like Putin invading.

    Putin tried to call NATO's bluff, using Ukraine as a bargaining chip. NATO didn't blink, and so he started a war. He doesn't get to do the abuser thing of saying "see what you made me do". This is on him, and him alone.

    He can demand that NATO withdraw all he likes, and I'd have some sympathy for that if it didn't involve invading another country as leverage. Note, I say some sympathy, not that NATO should actually do it, especially as Putin's regieme has threatened other countries already.

    Jump

  • So, you're saying that Putin sent demands to NATO, saying they either bend to his will by removing their protection from a large portion of their member states or he'd start a war, and by not signing it NATO are responsible for starting the war? I just want to fully understand your position on this.

  • Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?

    Jump

  • It's been years since I had to admin Windows servers, but I was quite impressed with the number of MS products where the install and configuration tools would output the Powershell commands to carry out the changes you'd asked for. It made it quite a lot easier to automate. I'd love to see that paradigm catch on more widely, with the GUI and CLI having the same functionality and the GUI giving you the commands to run.

  • I think that the point is it's entirely pointless building something like this into the email system. It should be a separate system that you can choose to use if you want it. Building it in just opens questions about exactly what they're doing with your data, despite their assurances.

  • Saudi Arabia Threatened to Sell Off Europe’s Bonds If EU Seized Russian Assets

    Jump

  • They may well be looking at how much the EU holds in Saudi assets, seeing those at potential risk of being seized and deciding tge write-down on dumping the bonds would be worth it. Long term, I don't think it would have an effect on prices, but short term it may well do, depending on how concentrated their holdings are.

    From what I can see, normal trading volume in bonds is about 500% per year, or about 2% per day assuming 250 trading days per year. If the 130bn you mention is spread across all government bonds across the EU then it accounts for about 4% of the total, or about two days of normal trade. Dump all of that in one go and it'd definitely have a short term effect. If their holdings are more concentrated they could have an even bigger effect on the bonds they hold.

    Bonds tend to be issued on a regular basis, so even a short term drop in price could be timed to affect an auction. That has the twin effect of reducing the amount the government in question raises, and also tying them into effectively higher interest rates, potentially for decades to come.

    I'm no expert trader either, so I could be barking up the wrong tree, but I assume that they would have a clear expectation of the results before making that threat, and I can't really see any other effects it could be expected to have.

  • Gunman who was killed by Yellowstone rangers had planned a July 4 mass shooting, park reveals

    Jump

  • Absolutely. If they're killed during their crime they should be completely anonymous. No names, no 'manifestos', no reference to the sorts of communities they were part of online, no last words, just, 'they were a vile stain on humanity' and then forgotten. Obviously, if they live more will come out as they're prosecuted, but that should be minimized and once they're jailed they can be forgotten by all but those tasked with keeping them alive to serve their sentence.

  • Saudi Arabia Threatened to Sell Off Europe’s Bonds If EU Seized Russian Assets

    Jump

  • The price moves with supply and demand on the secondary market. Normally, yes, that'll tend to vary to balance yield with the prevailing interest rates, however, the threat seems to be to dump bonds onto the secondary market, presumably without a minimum price. The glut would mean buyers could purchase them below that balance price, giving them a better yield. This would have (at least) two knock on effects, firstly it would make it harder for governments yo raise funds through bond issues as they'd effectively be competing with the cheaper 'dumped' bonds and so would need to offer an equivalently high yield, and secondly may allow 'undesirable' governments or groups to amass significant amounts of European debt, which potentially gives them more political leverage than European governments might like.

  • There's a fair chance he knew that and wanted to die while killing as many as possible.

    As you said, good riddance.
