I feel like Mozilla are in a difficult position. They’re reliant on Google to exist, it seems. When they try to do something else to make an alternate revenue stream everyone says to stick to the thing they do that nobody in the world pays for.

I print roughly two or three things per year, and they’re always bigger than A5, so that would be a completely useless feature for me.

I’ll get my 68 year old mother right on that.

9 hours of profit, oh no!

That’s the one, but I’m sure he’s only ever done it once…

Sounds like a good time to use the word “bump”

Perhaps they track who you talk to and show you ads that are relevant to those people, or their best guess based on two profiles.

I don’t think there’s a data center out there with a live audio stream of literally billions of always-on devices 24/7/365.

Perhaps there’s some local processing first, but devices have permissions for apps, and lights that indicate the mic/camera is in use.

I figure someone would have figured it out by now (reverse engineering, decompiling code), or someone from Google/Apple/Samsung would have leaked it if it were true. Think of the number of people required to keep this secret.

I understand that people don’t like Musk, I can’t stand him myself, but there are enough bad things that he really did, to not have to stick to false narratives.

The downvoting of the objectively proven truth here is like reading something on Twitter, but in the opposite direction. It’s incredible to me that someone invoked Snopes and spouted the opposite of the findings of that Snopes article, and is being upvoted for it.

However, as Musk objected immediately and Isaacson would clarify soon after, the claim that Musk had ordered Starlink coverage in Crimea “turned off” wasn’t entirely accurate. (Both CNN and The Washington Post subsequently corrected their reports.)

From the article you linked.

CNN and TWP both corrected what they wrote, but you know better?

I don’t think making the end of a cable smaller is an important thing any more. We’re not dealing with SCART or serial cables any more. USB C is definitely small enough. Micro and mini were small enough too.

The complaint about the cables seems fine when the company the post is about profited from those cables. Design flaws boosted their sales.

As for the regular USB cables eventually fraying, sure, all things have wear and tear, but some things are designed to fail faster for profits.

Don’t need a complex UI to list some games for 5 seconds before I start playing them.

They are still doing the Bandcamp Fridays where everything you pay goes to the artist, so that’s nice.

So funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.

It’s nice to have principles, but in a few years you’re going to have to find a new way to get around.
