It is a gimmick, not anything users as a spectrum might find favorable. And the sad thing is, that Apple is the only one with such a laughing stock of UX/UI.
I am totally annoyed by the animations in Apple Notes. The icons have considerable increased in size and everything screams what a mess to me: the shadow as part of "the experience", partly rounded icons which talk more space than rectangles, hidden functions or multi function menus.
There is absolutely no spirit in this update. The animations show no variations, always the same most boring ones (the s curve in Apple Notes).
Lately I found die settings menu in Safari especially disastrous, the tab menu icons when pressed look so ridiculous, I lost words.
> There's literally an option for "auto", "light", and "dark" on each page.
That's not defining a color palette, which would probably go in CSS. You're describing a UI selector. It doesn't "define" anything related to implementing the functionality.
You're still missing the point of this entire thread. Go back and look at the top-level comment. I think there might be a language barrier here or something, so I'm going to bow out. Good luck.
> “It’s not just about Israel,” Karp told CNBC last year(opens in new tab). “It’s like, ‘Do you believe in the West? Do you believe the West has created a superior way of living?’”
Hilarious quote from the terrifying police state guy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you referring to the Rich Results Test. Fetching through that embeds `Google-InspectionTool` in the user agent, which isn't the case here.
Do you really think a desktop needs to be stuck on the 30 year old start menu, task bar, desktop icons paradigm forever? It's fine if you want to stick to that, but the rest of us have found that using a mouse for everything isn't the most efficient way to work with our computer.
I think in the case where you want GNOME to work more like windows 95 installing a few extensions is a completely reasonable ask. The fact that you can is still a plus.
Interesting that Sam and Jessica Lessin led a group of founders to Israel and tried to meet up with Ehud Barak there. Should The Information disclose that when they cover Israel? I'm not sure, but it does seem like relevant context?
I've had good success with tracking tool tests and resistFingerprinting. Granted, I usually use it with uMatrix/NoScript most of the time which cuts down on the available data a lot and maybe makes it an unfair test.
One issue, I expect, is simply not enough people using resist fingerprinting to add variation to the mix. Since it's off by default, and only a small % of users use Firefox and an even tinier percentage use resistFingerprinting, unlike your example of Tor where probably most people on the tor network use the tor browser, it's likely that simply blocking things is a fingerprint all on its own.
The solution there would be to get more people using it :)
I will say one downside to using it is far more bot detection websites freaking out over generic information being returned to them, causing some sites to break (some of their settings breaking webgl games too due to low values). Using a different profile avoids this, or explicitly whitelisting certain sites in privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains - obviously if a site is using a generic tracking service for bot detection, that kills a fair amount of the benefit of the flag, so a separate profile might be best. I wish firefox had a container option for this.
... and. not too sure what you mean by changing window size on a non-standardised device. They do try to ensure the window sizes are at standard intervals, as if they were fullscreened at typical widths to reduce fingerprinting, but surely that applies to using Tor too? I mean, people don't use Tor on dedicated monitors at standard sizes.
In some cases it has to do with nostalgy, for whatever reason.
In most cases it has to do more with the fact that the South is primarily used as a way to steer/control the elections.
Garibaldi used local (criminal) lords, the "picciotti", to achieve what he needed. A bit like today they would use local criminals to subjugate the population. Those criminals stayed until Mussolini decided to deal with them. And again they got freed by the Allies to save the country from Fascism.
You could wipe out the mafia, make the land rich and use it, but there is not just enough interest to do so.
On the contrary, the only interest is to use that land to move to the next step, never to actually use whatever is there. This is what makes people nostalgic or sad.
Eh. Judging by the large negative response I think the point might still have a point. Can you quickly rattle out ipv6 cidr blocks when you are setting up network configs? Most can grok and crank on ipv4 no problem. But for ipv6…its to the calculator. Not saying its a valid reason. Just saying ppl are lazy sooo if you want something adopted you might have to lean into lazy.
Some Fido2 keys like the YubiKey and Nitrokeys support PGP keys as well. Works pretty nice as well and has the added bonus of your key not being tied to a pice of hardware that is as likely to break like a laptop (or be upgraded on a semi-regular basis)
It's hard to symphatize with the "dark mode hater" when it's only the very minority of websites that enforce dark mode without respecting user choice, as most websites enforce light mode without respecting user choice (including HN).
A manager’s job isn’t to guide the company, it’s to make sure his team does the tasks they are assigned. Likewise, a worker’s job isn’t to “think about the big picture” and come up with a strategy for the organization.
So who is supposed to do it? Because executives sure aren’t.
If your sleep is important to you (and it definitely should be) you should not be watching movies or browsing bluesky immediately before bedtime. If you are doing so, I don't want to hear complaints about how these apps are affecting your sleep. It's on you.
I mean this nicely: I would really not expect much better from HN. This is ground zero for Capital's public social media discourse; I'm actually quite surprised your top-level comment hasn't been downvoted to oblivion or even flagged, since you dared to utter the unutterable: that workers deserve more and Capital deserves less. I'm with you, friend, but be careful here.
privacy.resistFingerprinting = true is basically activating most of the Tor browser features in baseline Firefox. That's why it is turned off by default. It does all the things you listed above only at a lower level than a user script. It's been in Firefox for over a decade.
The flag was in fact designed to control the activation of the Tor browser uplift features, and reduce maintenance issues. That way the Tor browser could pretty much just be Firefox with certain flags turned on.
I've heard people make the point before that EdDSA is not great for secure enclaves due to being suspictable to Fault Attacks which could lead to (partial) key extraction
You don't have to like it, but the global menu bar is at the top of the screen which means you just fling the mouse to the top and then go left or right, instead of having to get to the right vertical.
