Servo is the only browser engine I've been excited about for a while, so, time to help them out

Project 2025 will require all shitposts to be based on true stories and be historically accurate and scientifically sound.

On the bright side: now that Element Web is gone I don't have any reasons to keep WebRTC and WebAssembly enabled — good riddance! 😁

@drewdevault was there really that much advancement. there was the hallmark paper "Attention is all you need" which established a new model for fuzzy dictionary compression https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
but otherwise, it just seems like illogical amounts of memory and compute were thrown at it (which could've happened regardless, just with somewhat different architecture), because this isn't really driven by "we have found revolutionary optimizations" but by money and brute-force.

How to not leak customer data:
- Don’t collect them
OMG, it's not just me and it's… disgusting:

Apparently, their policy is to only support two latest releases of Firefox and Chrome, so the fact that it had worked for me is just a coincidence!
The "that browsed is a year old already" line is simply priceless!
The most fun part is that this update coincided with the new FF ESR, so their solution is: just install the new ad-ridden FF — or Chrome even, what is your problem?😤
Oh my, this is such a trainwreck!

Does app.element.io still work in Firefox?
At first I thought they were blocking the IP-address range of VPN nodes that I'm using, but now that I've tried switching to a different one, I think something else is at play here.
It doesn't give me any meaningful error — it just looks like a blank page, the only error I see in the console is:
Uncaught TypeError: Intl.Segmenter is not a constructor
node_modules bundle.js:2
Webpack 21
Could this be it? 🤔

@pixellight I'm torn between wanting to go back to Web1 and browsers that were designed to just display websites and just wanting to go full Butlarian at this point.

Yup, it's true. Firefox 128 includes new adtech features that are opt-in by default and announced with very little fanfare, so most people might not even know they're there. 
Well, this is me telling you they're there. You might want to go ahead and take a minute to opt out.
Here's the little helpful explainer from Mozilla about how it all works:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution
My read seems to be: Mozilla says website surveillance is generally bad and should be defended against. Cool. No notes. Firefox actually has a lot of nice anti-tracking and privacy features there and that's the main reason why I like Firefox.
But, and I swear I'm not even joking a little bit here, Mozilla goes on to say that advertisers might be happier if Firefox itself just tracked you directly and sent activity reports back to them.
Doesn't that sound great?
Now, to Mozilla's credit, they claim to anonymize the activity reports. And you can still meaningfully opt out of the whole system.
But WTF, mate?! I use Firefox *because* it fights against adtech. Or at least it used to. Now, Mozilla just lets adtech right in the front door and hopes you won't notice? 
Well, we noticed. Mozilla is damage and we need to route around it.
OMG, it's Windows NT for PowerPC made boot on PowerPC Macs: https://github.com/Wack0/maciNTosh
What an abomination! 🤩
(Sadly, I don't have a compatible model, but some of you might want to give it a try)

yeah so microsoft just fucking lied about not forcing copilot, cos of course they did https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/windows-10-gets-copilot-as-part-of-mandatory-update
Google can totally explain why Chromium browsers quietly tell only its websites about your CPU, GPU usage: https://theregister.com/2024/07/12/chromium_api_system_information/
"…info about the processor you're using, so that whatever service is being provided – such as video-conferencing with Google Meet – could, for instance, be optimized and tweaked so that it doesn't overly tax your computer"
Why not always do that though? 🤔 Me having extra computing power doesn't mean that Google can waste it on whatever they deem fit!

@selzero more "early teens" than "childhood" I suppose, but this one is the one I go back to the most, first playing on my Amiga 500 and having since bought it again on the Mega Drive and SNES: Flashback.

🇷🇺 The Russian authorities have begun slowing down YouTube in the country, a telecoms industry source has told Meduza.
The source said an earlier statement from Rostelecom warning YouTube may experience problems due to “technical problems” was inaccurate.
