What we need is a netflix/spotify model, but for the news. I never pay for the news, because it's mostly disappointing. But I would pay 20 euros a month if I could have access to all the news, and just let me filter little by litt

No, firefox was first called phoenix (because it was seen as a rebirth of the netscaoe ethos) then firebird. Netscape got killed by ie 5.5 and firefox competed mostly with ie 6 on Market and opera on innovation. And yep, i think 2008 was fi

Firefox was always a geek thing, I've been using it since it was called phoenix and at its peak, it was mostly nerds installing that at schools, convincing their mums, etc, thanks to the adblock. The only reason we are not all using ed

Not against us. Against some of the nerds will. The rest cheered. That's why it worked. Humans hate friction, they don't want to pay for maintenance and have short term thinking. Even on HN there are plenty of voices saying they w

Also, name, address and phone numbers let you do so many scams. A friend of mine received a very well-crafted physical letter at his home about resetting his cryto ledger. He is now very stressed because there are news about people with cry

Looked up NatSocToday on Substack, and they do have the swastika as a banner; they don't even hide or be subtle about it. Full on nazi, in plain sight. And plot twist, they are anti-Trump. I'm overwhelmed.

+1 on this, they had an amazing presence in the French community for 20 years and many of us own them our passion for FOSS.

You got me good with this one. But seriously, this is my main answer to people telling me AI is not reliable: "guess what, most humans are not either, but at least I can tell AI to correct course and it's ego won't get in the

No, I use them but loading and unloading the app in the tab still happens when the browser flushes the app from memory because the OS killed it or the browser eviction policy hits. This loading is not nearly as seamless as a regular app sta

Apple makes sure it's not practical. You still can't have a "share to" target that is a web app on iOS. And the data your can store in local storage on safari is a joke. Of course, forget about background tasks and integ

Pretty sure it destroys something in you as well. So many context changes with no relation whatsoever and regular hooks that give you a pinch. We haven't evolved for that. Our brain is trying to figure out a narrative between two thing

As usual, if both sides exist, it's because they both provide benefits. The guessers' benefits are just not obvious at first glance. Taleb has a nice bit on that, explaining that if something exists for long, it must have enduring

This is a good thing and a required first step, but it's a drop in the sea. All MacOS, iOS, Windows and Android are all produced by the USA. Virtually all chips as well. It is foolish to assume there are not backdoors in every one of t

It's not a trick; it's the closest they can get away with lying with plausible deniability. To sell you ads that are mostly lies already.

No it's not fraud, it's a growth hack. And it's not lying, it's advertising, it's not spam, it's a cold email, it's not patent trolling, it's IP protection. But maybe it's maybelline.

The success of webassembly has not been the "universal language for the web clients" we all expected. But it has been "damn, that's a pretty good sandbox we all can compile to". And of course, it means we can now ha

It would be much, much better: - Improved incentive for the IT and medias industry. Users and viewers are the customers again. - Removal of the culture of normalized lying that infects everyone to the point people don't see it anymore.
