I’m old enough to recognise an iomega ZIP drive.

When asked, my mother’s maiden name is “0nzoIHUzdTMu2YDz”.

At least they’re not including drownings in the figures this time.

When you invite Erin Patterson around for dinner …

We’ve moved to Cloudflare’s turnstile and it’s significantly less obnoxious.

She’s only scared of cops and cameras. Otherwise she’d be doing 110.

I drove a Yaris from Greymouth to Queenstown and it was a really good drive. The whole side of island had one road and it was empty. All the bridges are single-lane.

Not one speed camera the whole way.

This. Safest speed is the same speed as everyone else.

I was recently driving down a road that had its speed limit dropped from 100km/h to 60km/h. My wife just did 60, and I told her to speed up so she didn’t create a hazard.

30 seconds later, a local Commodore whips around us on a solid line on a windy road. It had a closing speed of about 30km/h. Everyone agreed it was quite dangerous, but she refused to accept that I was right.

I’ll add a pic. A country road in Victoria, Australia that had no set limit (read: default 100km/h) in 2018.

Secureboot + a signed kernel module should be enough to be certain there’s nothing nefarious running in the kernel, and you don’t need to go in there to babysit.

If a userspace app can interfere with a game, a userspace app can detect it.

I’m in Australia and it’s shit for everyone. The whole thing was basically conceived by SportsBet so they could advertise on social media with impunity.

My kids are on more social media platforms than I am. So are all their friends. It hasn’t slowed anything in that regard.

I can say, none of the shady bootleg porn sites have implemented blocking. So there’s always that.

I’ve survived so far without doing a face scan or ID check. Most of my social media accounts are over 16 years old anyway.

If it’s not a technical problem, Epic is taking cash under the table from NinMicroSony to keep their platforms relevant. That wouldn’t surprise me either.

They already have it running and functional. It must still need more work because it’s opt-in for developers, and they don’t have the confidence to enable it on Fortnite.

I suspect it’s getting attention now because Steam is showing decent numbers on Linux. Way better than when they first shelved the anti-cheat.

Maybe it’s all the Pixel 6a handsets with worn batteries.

It was MV3. I had to rewrite the manifest as V2 to get it working.

Drugs are definitely cheaper, more enjoyable and better for you.

So, you have one bad interaction with some jerk, and then you get a life ban that propagates through the whole city?

Seems rather shit. We might as well roll out a social credit scoring system. I bet you don’t even get three strikes.

I would likely avoid any venue with a system like this anyway, so it won’t matter if I’m banned or not.

I’ve been using exclusively since the early 2000s.

On Android, it’s about 10x the size of Chrome. I’m guessing that’s because Chrome uses the OS internals (chromium) for rendering while Firefox rolls its own (gecko).

Firefox still does manifest v2 so adblockers still have full power.

I was debugging one of my favourite extensions this week to figure out why it didn’t work on firefox. It hadn’t been updated in years, so something changed in firefox in the last few months.

I assume the Chrome version still works. I’m not installing it.

The MV3 support in firefox is even stricter than in Chrome. I found that chrome will let you sidestep CSP to make an HTTP request. Firefox won’t.

“Oh shit. We forgot to hide it better.”
