This is the best summary I could come up with: It’s “members of Congress, conservative activists and wealthy tech investors.”

Unless you’re doing something unusual, it’s probably because you’re browsing youtube without being logged in.

Who are all these extremist wackos who don’t already want to abolish capitalism?

AI that is used to monitor cameras and identify our faces to track everywhere everyone goes: Why would that concern you? Do you have something to hide, citizen?

AI that might be used to generate agitprop, competing with conventional advertising: HOLY SHIT we need a new international treaty right away!

“full-disk encryption” is the search keyword you’re looking for

She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain

Look, I know everyone in Britain is required to know the names and dates of all the monarchs going back to the 9th century, but expecting everyone to be able to come up with that name when put on the spot is going a little too far.

I thought the plan was immediate violent revenge? Gaza has been under siege since 2007 and if it ever seemed likely that it was all part of a grand strategy that could some day end in peace, that time is long past.

Not sure if it’s from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that’s like “Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter.”

13% may not sound like a lot, but it includes almost all of the 10% who weren’t complete idiots.

It is if you redefine AGI to mean the thing that’s already here, although to get away with that it helps if at the same time you overestimate what LLMs are capable of doing.

Bug fix releases are the best releases

*with the exception of some who have specific disabilities

People who find that “frustrating” have led too sheltered a life.

Lazy loading of images through the mechanism controlled by that setting is relatively new, and many sites unfortunately still have javascript to do something similar in browsers that don’t support it.

It’d be nice if Firefox could let us turn off the new feature in a way that’s undetectable without specific measures to look for it, but it seems extremely unlikely that Mozilla will ever find that worth the effort of doing. In some cases you might be able to just block a single script with noscript or ublock, but all the implementations are different and there’s no general solution unless maybe if you find or create an extension specific to that purpose.

He has something of a tendency to sensationalize things.

Oh, it’s Lunduke. Had me worried for a moment, there.

To be more precise, my belief is that the main thing ECH does is make it more difficult some of the time (depending on the details of how the site works) for observers of network traffic to directly see which website you’ve visited if it’s one of those that have chosen to give all that data to Cloudflare or some similar system instead.

There also do still exist some simple web hosting setups that share many independent domain names on the same IP, but I think it’s not as common as it probably was when they first came up with the idea of encrypting the tls server name many years ago. Maybe it’ll make a comeback for sites whose users need to avoid censorship in this way if it’s true that domain fronting has generally become more difficult.

Sort of. They can still see which IP address you’re connecting to, which by itself or in combination with some minor traffic analysis is quite often enough to identify which website you’ve visited. Perhaps it isn’t if the website puts absolutely everything through a giant CDN like Cloudflare, but in that case it’s Cloudflare which gets to see all the sites you visit which isn’t a whole lot better than the status quo.

Still, it’s a little less information given away at least some of the time. Better to do it than not do it.

Doesn’t autoplay for me, possibly because I have “media.autoplay.blocking_policy” set to 2.
