I hate these 2FA mandates. I don't use PyPI, but I do use GitHub, which has also announced a 2FA mandate. I use my GitHub account to make bug reports, small pull requests, and silly personal projects. It is not that important. I want t

On the topic of user freedom, Firefox also doesn't allow installing extensions not signed by Mozilla unless you use a fork, Nightly, or Developer Edition (which is just a badly named beta)[0]. The hilarious thing is that Safari, the we

Firefox doesn't allow users to install unsigned extensions unless they use a beta version, because users apparently can't be trusted to install software. I trust Mozilla to fight for privacy (they're great at it), but I do no

This is really minor compared to other parts of Firefox. Notably, Firefox requires all extensions to be signed by Mozilla. And the only way to turn that restriction off, is to either use Firefox Nightly or Firefox Developer Edition (which i

I just wish Firefox would stop trying to open external programs when I type "site:" in the address bar. It's so annoying to type "site:example.com hello" and just get a "No apps available" dialog and have

I've never contributed to Go before, but from reading this, I have to wonder who thought this system was a good idea. From the sounds of it, the only situation where this PR-mirroring works properly, is PRs without any comments, whic

Please no. As someone who doesn't use voice channels, I can't even count how many times I've accidentally joined them because I mis-clicked. And then I have to find the "end call" button because, of course, it'

Not a lawyer, but if this was true, wouldn't a bunch of developers and companies be facing fines? Especially smaller open-source stuff. And larger companies as well (for instance, Reddit's mobile app is infamously inaccessible).

People generating fake photos will just use an AI that doesn't leave a watermark. We are quickly approaching the point at which AI-generated and real images just cannot be distinguished, and we're going to have to adapt to that.
