I when to check and I think I get it now, the link-local is routeable (switchable?) but only at the local level, but then you might ask why bother with SLAAC at all then. It's due to router being unable to route anything with a link local origin or destination as they are not globally unique so if you need to talk to anything past layer 2 you need unique-local address (or global).

I thought fe80::whatever was only for link local, and link local was only for 1-1 communication with router for SLAAC.

After you'd get a unique local than thebn would be used for normal routing needs.

Did I get the wrong?

What are you talking about? How do you think food get to the supermarket? People put it there.

The entire chain from farm to table is managed and operated by humans.

Every automatization effort ever always had human oversight.

Its not the same thing as entrusting the entire codebase to overachieving markov-chain who has no concept of correctness over anything of sounding ok.

Honestly, saying the humans understanding codebase is a dead concept is the most techbro-ish I heard today.

If any org had any use for telemetry they'd have no incentive into to adhere to something that would make it easier for users to opt-out. In fact that thee whole reason you have to opt-out instead of opt-in in the first place.

Its an ok solution, but will never be implement and doing it actively goes against the interest of those who would have to do implement it.

I've personally used and still use FF for year and have now no intentions of switching.

I don't care about the Ai stuff as long is mostly opt-in or easily disabled at least.

Having said that I've been looking forward the Ladybug project as a another browser not part of the chromium swarm. I'm sure I'll give it a try when it's more mature.

It'd just devolve into security whack a mole about what permissions need those special account or not, ending with basically all of them making it the same as just needing dev verification anyway for anything remotely useful.

And despite that, you assuming that dev verification means no malware. The Play Store requires developers to register with the same verification measures we're talkingand malware is hardly unheard of there.

Or to be even more suckless it would require the user toboatch in whatever feather they need.

And we have decades of hindsight with sql injection to work with and make it obvious. No so much with all the fancy new AI tools.

Yes MCP has next to no security features, but then again is it even a year old at this point?

Not excusing it just pointing out something folks should me mindful of when using tool based on it, its an immature system.

And heck, I still remember a time when most of the internet traffic just flew around in plain text. Insanity to us now.

Really really hope these guys get a foothold in the market. I'm a decades long Firefox user but even I have to admit things with Mozilla aren't looking bright so projects like this are the only things that can save us from the chrome clone wars.

I always find funny how the new, supposedly progressive, arguments in favor of mass immigration run so close to the ones given against when slavery was abolished, that society can only exist with cheap,exploitative, labor.

Who indeed will pick the cotton.

The editor is 10mb. It's the grammar files that are represent the bulk, and those are optional.

And yes. Complaining about 100mb nowadays is ridiculous. You probably have larger logfiles sitting somewhere in disk doing nothing right now, regardless of your OS.

we optimize for code runtime but not for our own typing latency

100ms optimization is a lot different for a CPU or a human brain. I'm not defending having the entire system log dumped out on every prompt but a few amenities are worth a few milliseconds computation time for a human.

Besides, I don't see how, for example , having your prompt take those 100ms to print a git branch or status breaks your "flow" yet having to type out the commands yourself and taking longer doing it doesn't.

Its a balance between bloat and and usability like so many other things, but, to me at least, being on either extreme of bloat or extreme-minimalism seems counterproductive.
