So if Mozilla wants to monetize location data, what does this mean for all the custom ROMs that use Mozilla’s location provider instead of Google’s?

This might mean that we would have no true free location provider left.

Edit: just was thinking, what does this mean for Firefox forks that also use Mozilla’s location service?

I remembered using Vivaldi a while back, I think I’ll look into it again.

So I haven’t been following the Firefox thing that closely. Fennec isn’t an alternative because it uses Firefox’s Sync and Brave is out of the question because it’s crypto Chrome?

So what is the advantage to this over something like Bazzite?

I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

DNS calls are definitely cached. You’ll have to wait a few days until your TV refreshes DNS entries.

Congratulations! So, how does the TV work with the adblocker set up?

The rule of law has eroded. You have a convicted felon in office who has brushed away an impeachment and is in control of all branches of government. So what is next now?

I wouldn’t call it gaslighting or even hallucination, but just getting things mixed up. I described Bart Simpson and asked if it could tell me which character from which show I meant. There is a Gomer Pyle who appears in several episodes of the Simpsons and does have pointy hair. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t wear a helmet and bandana. But Gomer Pyle is also a figure in the Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle USMC, which aired in the 60s.

I know it’s not DeepSeek, but this is what I got out of the Reasoner V1 model in GPT4All (“Based on Qwen2.5-Coder 7B”). Use local models with care!

So happy RN that I installed CalyxOS on my daughters phone. Um… but that means it might explode in her hands?

Bingo!

After comparing the sound quality of Amazon, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal, the dynamic range of Tidal really stood out - even in lowest quality. At that time, I read that Tidal had the highest payout to the artists. I also like that the service is partially owned by several artists.

The recommendations and feeds are really top notch, just the right mix of stuff I know and like and nice surprises. The “Daily Discovery” often explores a certain genre or mood. There are so many cool bands I’ve found - also from genres I don’t usually listen to. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service.

My hot take: of it’s open source and they don’t receive money from me, I don’t really care.

Read that the battery life of the Go isn’t remarkable. How is it used as a tablet?

So you’re saying that it’s progressive to use bitcoin as … money?

But this is not just any abacus, it’s one that calculates all the results at once. That is a disruptive leap forward in computing power.

Because quantum physics. A qubit isn’t 0 or 1, it’s both and everything in between. You get a result as a distribution, not as distinct values.

Qubits are represented as (for example) quantumly entangled electron spins. And due to the nature of quantum physics, they are not very stable, and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.

Granted, my knowledge of quantum computing is very hand-wavy.

To this day I can’t fully understand why they did it.

One word: ads.

With RSS, you have content from various sources in one place, stripped of the ads, without any cookielicious tracking. How are you supposed to monitize that?

Yeah he beat that horse to death but he has a point.
