Yeah some form of google's Web Integrity API will be forced one of these days

From what a quick google search told me, RHEL caps out at 13 years.[0] I'm curious what caused Canonical to offer 2 more years of lts support than Red Hat?

The FBI also makes a good argument that adblockers prevent scammers from directing people to malicious sites.

Looks like someone archived the page of firefox-patch-bin[1] and the only thing that stands out about the package itself is that it's supposedly the "Extended Support Release." Besides that it looks like it's depended on by 183 other packages/metapackages. While that seems more interesting, there isn't an archive of all of those packages.

Isn't it interesting how this post has more votes than anything else on the first page, is one hour old, and is currently on page 4. Seems like there's some interesting censorship going on in this website outside the consistent flagging of material deemed wrong-think.

First thing that pops up on google:

Anyone still swayed by his vision is painfully naive

I ctrl-f'd Oregon State and didn't find it in the link you provided. I think you found UofO's endowment: University of Oregon - $1.651

Wikipedia states that OSU's endowment is $829.9 million (2023).[0]

Glad you reminded me of this:

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

ZUCK: just ask

ZUCK: people just submitted it

ZUCK: i don’t know why

ZUCK: they “trust me”

ZUCK: dumb fucks

Every time I see this pop up it reminds me of this part of an epsiode of This American Life [0]. At parts its quite difficult to listen to, however it seems like an important thing to be aware of. If they're willing to do this to children, what are they fine with doing to adults? It's beyond words how someone can imagine that this is moral behavior in the pursuit of justice. I don't see how anyone can harass a child like that - already distraught by the death of his sister - and to treat some kid like a murderer for hours on end.

From what I've read the Fedora project has an interest in providing solely open source and non patent encumbered software like codecs. Which sounds like something OBS may infringe on

Thankfully this shouldn't become a large problem, because websites simply don't load that quick

It'd be neat if you could create conditional blocklists. Like only whoever X person AND Y person block will be blocked from my feed. And so on...

I don't think that'd solve the problem, but it would marginally help (and should be better than the status quo)

Like with everything else, the dosage makes the poison.

I personally intend to stay vigilante to dihydrogen monoxide poisoning.

Yeah it's gotten so bad that the FBI recommends an ad-blocker as a means to protect yourself from malicious sites.

https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221?=8324278624

Yeah as long as they get to control the narrative around how to stay "safe" online stuff like this will be swept under the rug.

Please read the article next time.

Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee in June proposed a budget rider that would prohibit funds to be used for the IRS to create a government-run tax preparation software, unless approved by a group of House and Senate committees.

The move “safeguards the IRS from an obvious conflict of interest where the tax collector becomes the tax preparer,” the bill’s summary states.

Damn the weekly ""mistake"" that Musk makes. That reminds me of this quote by a famous hypocrite "The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!"

Sadly this no longer works for Microsoft domains. Had Windows Defender mark my host file as having a 'severe' issue just because I copy pasted a list of Microsoft telemetry domains (1). Everything worked perfectly fine before that update.
