There was a time of turbulence, but now it's back to the way it was before, I find the term "state capitalism" itself part of the newspeak that was common in USSR. We all know that these "private" companies aren't independent entities — go against the state and you might get exiled, jailed or even assassinated. There are no economic liberties and as we can clearly see now — no private property either (which never really existed in Russia).

@kravietz @maniamakash @tml
I sometimes use the term "former Eastern Bloc countries": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Bloc
Which is I think correct and I find it useful — to indicate that the countries economic system transitioned away from what it was in times of the USSR.
And I use ex-Soviet sometimes when speaking about countries which were part of USSR formerly.
Neither can be applied to Yugoslavia though.
And yes, of course you can't say "post" about Russia itself — as it never transitioned away.

That was a joke — I may not always like the architectural changes in FF, but I have to admit, it's really well optimized the way it is now — to the point that it performs better than Palemoon, which was forked before FF got Electrolysis (I think🤔), even on anemic machines with single-core 32-bit CPUs, such as old Thinkpad T43 with Pentium-M that I have.
Even with no SMP or SMT Firefox might get slow, but remains responsive, while Palemoon fails to even redraw its UI at times.

And I'm pretty sure that's exactly what would have happened — trivial to implement, had he not taken his usual "bullying the one I don't agree with into submission stance".
He's not wrong about a lot of things — he's just poor at handling real people and sadly, he's not the only one like that 😩

@adiz @newt
It's not about favicons per se — I can see what he's coming at, getting an extra request with every page request when it comes to something as minimal as Gemini does make a difference and this is a valid concern.
It could've be handled differently, e.g. requesting favicon.txt only when you're adding the page to bookmarks — makes perfect sense as you don't see the favicon anywhere else.

Bring back the option to turn e10s off 😂

@theorytoe
For fucks sake, why did the phone replace "right" with "didn't"?! 🤬

@theorytoe
Nah, they only do it when it's some dev, who might hold opinions hostile to them, but who otherwise has zero impact over their lives, and whom they can safely pick on.
They will keep using Node.js even if Google starts gassing them: "What choice do I have?"
So pathetic! 🤦
They seem to have also forgotten that cancel culture wasn't about harassing the one they don't like days on end. Bullying is only bad when bad people do it, didn't? 😏

> from internal IDE drive (fast enough really)
When I boot an old Mac from its internal "spinning rust" drive, I get the vibes that it has an SSD — simply because having bazillion things running in the background simply wasn't common back in the days, so starting them up didn't take forever 😂

Ну, «говно» там судя по всему давно уже варили — в славном городе Тосно, а вот пицца — действительно что-то новое 😂

Not unless you have a corresponding t-shirt 😉

@Hyolobrika
We already have one in form of UN — which is what I think it's based on in most science fiction.
True, in its current form it's rather important, but as far as I can see it — it's interplanetary issues arising is what is supposed to make it less dysfunctional, in this scenario the power might indeed shift away from national governments — at least it doesn't look unrealistic to me 🤷

@romin
The watch? 🤔

@romin @sun
But why use racist browser when you can use one by nice people from Google? Yes, in a way they are worse than Nazis, but at least they don't assume that the user is male! (aren't picky about whom to milk for data 😏)

@vertka
It is! According to the paper, this CVE happened because important code, which in turn was a fix for similar prior vulnerability, was removed from one of the routines — hence its name: regreSSHion.
This machine was using 9.1p1 and I've downgraded to 8.4p1 instead of upgrading to 9.8p1 — because according to the paper versions above 4.4, but below 8.5p1 shouldn't be affected.
So in a way it's still a fix, just an unusual one 😄
