It's caused by a stale plugin cache, which somehow triggers a blocking windows defender scan on application launch. I only managed to figure that out thanks to this[1] reddit comment, which also includes a solution: Noticed this a

I know, that's exactly the point I'm trying to make. Yesterday I drank a beer out in public - a perfectly legal and culturally/morally acceptable thing to do here in The Netherlands, but deemed wrong to such a degree that it

So it is doxxing if the doxxed committed wrongdoings from the perspective of... the doxxer? Ideals, morality, alignment, goals and purpose are and have always been a static constant for all humankind. There is no pineapple pizza, it is a li

Yes, I see what you mean, but if that's really the intent, then having only this font-family rule isn't sufficient. For that argument/reasoning to hold up, it would have to be accompanied by metrics adjustments to compensate

Oh you flatterer! My top level comment was not a complaint at all, but rather a heads-up regarding the potentially unexpected or often misunderstood effects of applying these font stacks, accompanied by a practical example, and a personal r

It already works as intended. If the intent is to render a default system font, then let the system handle that by simply applying 'monospace'.

These font stacks don't handle anything at all, they just throw a bunch of common typeface names at the wall and they can't even tell what sticks because it's so random. All the while, the user might have a prefered fallback

An example of something to keep in mind with this technique is that you might actually end up causing the browser to render a different font than either you or the user intended. For a practical example: Environment - Latest Firefox on

Just found this[0] implementation roadmap on Mozilla's wiki, recently updated too! At least it's actively being worked on. Not going to lie, this makes me happy. [0]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebDriver/RemoteP

I think it's highly disingenuous of you to claim that the regulators in question are acting without any plan or purpose even if those might not be immediately clear. "If you don't like how the table is set, turn over the tabl

There is chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml but many options shown there are nonfunctional. The relevant option is listed but I'm not sure if setting it to false has any effect. Edit: Just found out that on tha

Good point, I did conveniently gloss over that one didn't I! A switch to break the physical wire connection is about the only thing I can come up with out of hand right now. I believe the PinePhones come with physical switches for thei

That still doesn't disable all telemetry from being sent. There's a whole slue of settings that you need to change in about:config and then there's still no guarantee. Even if you follow those steps you listed there and unche

You wouldn't know if they're doing a good enough job of it, that's the point of censorship.

Thinkpads come with that, an unspoofable indicator that will tell you with 100% certainty that your image is not being recorded or even recordable unless the physical operator of the machine allows it. Can't beat a physical cover if yo

Say you tell me you want a red sphere. Taken at face value, you show a prejudice for red sphere's and discriminate against all other coloured shapes. We've all had to dance that dance with ChatGPT by now, where you ask for somethi

Absolutely, I also replied to the OP's response below that I failed to specify that I was arguing parrots' ability to reason which I do believe exists to a great extend. Regardless, speech is just another means of communication. I

Oh yes I agree on that. I should have specified that I was arguing their ability to reason - which from my own experience these birds do most definitely possess to a surprising extend. They are smart, and they have all day to figure out whi

I believe you are vastly underestimating the capabilities of parrots or similarly intelligent birds. At least when my pet parrot manages to fool me into whatever it is he wants to get out of me that time, he does it for his own primal benef

You'd think opting out of sharing analytics data with app developers would also cover push notification metrics but it doesn't seem to be that way from a quick look over the official docs. https://developer.apple.com&#x

If anything we need more settings, and more warning popups to go along with them that list or link to information on some of the breakage users can expect. Inform the user and let them decide.

That's interesting, I'm indeed seeing some differences between browsers on those pages but those aren't exactly baseline setups. I'll have to do a more thorough comparison tomorrow and will reply with my findings.

Just circling back here to say thanks for the correction. The "seemingly" part is what I missed.

The Wiktionary definition I linked to doesn't reflect that, it should probably be updated then.

It'd open the website in a new tab, discarding the old one. The new tab has its own isolated history with nothing in it. The back button would work fine but there'd be nothing to go back to :)
