I mean that’s high but not unreasonable, especially with unified ram machines

Thank you! Moving to v1 sounds like a lot of work the way you described it

[The Director at Mozilla] says: “We are planning to move Firefox Desktop and Android from a 4-week release cadence to a 2-week release cadence starting in September 2026. … This will be an experiment. The goal is to give work that is ready to ship more frequent opportunities to reach users, while making the release process more predictable and reducing pressure on uplifts. … The current target is to release Firefox 155 on September 1, 2026, instead of September 15.”

Seems like a decent idea, wouldn’t be able to say if it’s a real improvement though.

Javascript isn’t java, to be clear, and I think I need to clarify how websites work because it’s not obvious and I think

Basically early websites were just html, basically just a way of having documents and links to other documents. Very quickly they added css for styling and, later, javascript so that people could add more advanced functions in websites. Assuming you’re using the mastodon web client, you wouldn’t have been able to write your comment without javascript.

So the site sends html, css and javascript files to your computer, and your browser draws the page on your screen by following the instructions, then executes the javascript. This is a horrible way of doing things, because (1) web standards aren’t standard, browsers can support any feature they want in any way they want, so websites can work fine on one browser and not on another, and google can add any feature to chrome that websites will support that mozilla is forced to also implement, otherwise those websites will be broken. And (2) running random code with no user input is a horribly insecure way of doing things.

Nobody can change this, because it’s a every website is made for it and every browser is made for it. There are alternatives but you can’t access anything meaningful from it.

This means that Mozilla has to constantly update the browser to fix vulnerabilities, because the way the web works in inherently insecure and nobody can do anything about it, and the standards it supports constantly change for reason out of their control. Every browser auto-updates for the same reason. Mozilla changes the UI and implement AI at the same time because they’re scared normies will drop the browser and use something else (read: chrome) if they don’t.

If you don’t want a browser that skips all that and doesn’t support running random code then you can use something like netsurf, but it won’t run every website. Otherwise you can use a browser like librewolf that doesn’t add antifeatures.

Not saying you should use firefox, just that I hope you can see why they do what they do.

As an amateur web dev I can say stuff like jpegXL which allows for smaller and higher quality images is cool, and regardless browsers let websites run arbitrary javascript code, so it’s naturally insecure.

It’s more similar to the current age restrictions on alcohol, although I do agree it’d be better to ban recommendation algorithms than an age gate.

They didn’t poll under 18’s because it’s a political polling organisation and under-18’s don’t vote, I will say it is a bit strange they grouped the ages like that, since they usually don’t, it seems to have been done for the page layout.

The other study linked only has one non-leading question, and a majority still supports a ban.

I don’t support the current implementations but dismissing the specific poll is a bit silly.

I totally agree with that, I’d argue for either banning the negative aspects or doing that double-blind government-run verification I saw proposed that lets neither the government or the site have relevant information.

My point was that that stuff is a real concern for most people and that’s why those bills are being passed.

It’s a long story but basically instead of doing amendments the french like to start with a clean slate every time the current system seems inadequate.

Previous republics ended due to wars, revolutions and political deadlock.

Most people support these social media age gates:

this poll is for canada, not the eu, but I couldn’t find good polling for the EU.

tbf it’s a linux flipphone, but yeah it seems like a kinda weird second product after their commodore remake.

Their “AI platform” thing is mostly marketing nonsense, they were around before the AI bubble, it’s the same tech as google translate (technically AI, but not the same kind).

My point was mostly that they should write a text in chinese the way they want then machine translate it to english, so the structure and substance is human-made.

it seems like their first language is chinese, and they can’t write well in english

Just so you know in the future it’d probably be better to write your post in chinese and then use deepl to translate it if you can’t write a good text in english. Might end up a tad stilted but people here would like it a lot more, since the text AI generates in english is both artificial (nobody talks like that) and annoying to read.

Oui au Québec, mais mon père est français. Merci!

Je visite la france (pour visiter de la famille) dans quelque jours! J’ai hâte.

what other sites do you recommend? I’ve had similar issues and my ereader is really picky with formatting

New compact mode is great, I might be in the minority here but I like the new design.

Webserial but not webUSB is a bit strange

top park kinda makes it look like the meditteranian
