Why are they addressing him as President Trump? Isn't he still just a candidate or do they know something we don't yet? 😏
Are Intel's i9-13900k's and -14900k's Crashing at a Higher Rate? https://slashdot.org/story/24/07/13/0410231/are-intels-i9-13900ks-and--14900ks-crashing-at-a-higher-rate?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon
@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.
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.
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
