  • Firefox browser has started shipping Brave's adblock-rust engine

    Jump

  • I don't know about this specifically, but Rust in general is fast and at least memory safe (which helps with general security but doesn't guarantee it at by any means).

    I also used Brave for quite a while and anecdotally it was quite fast. So in my personal experience the performance is good.

    I don't see it as a step towards bring google-like, personally. But who knows with FF these days

  • The "split view" functionality in is really nice! Read headlines from a single tab. After all the #AI rubbish, finally something good comes from #firefox development 🤗

    Jump

  • I thought the same thing until I used it, but now I get it. It's just nicer and more fluid to use

  • Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard

    Jump

  • I love this because I have the opposite problem. I hardly ever use the Fn keys and my old laptop had them as the "default" and I had to press an extra key to change the volume or brightness which annoyed the heck out of me

    I feel for the devs/engineers who try to appease everyone

  • France pulls all gold out of US Federal Reserve

    Jump

  • By consolidating its reserves in Paris and upgrading to modern-standard bars, France has made its gold safer to manage and easier to sell or trade internationally. The sale also demonstrates how central banks can capitalize on favorable market conditions and generate substantial profits

    Rather than refining and transporting the old stock, the bank purchased an equivalent amount of new, compliant gold in Europe, which now sits in Paris alongside the rest of France’s reserves.

    The overall size of France’s gold reserve, around 2,437 tons, remains the same.

  • Vertical browser tabs are better and you should use them

    Jump

  • Best argument from the article imo:

    It’s a simple matter of screen real estate. Virtually every modern computer display is widescreen, which is to say it’s wider than it is tall. Websites and web apps, meanwhile, are practically always vertical experiences. Whether you’re on a 13-inch laptop or a 32-inch behemoth of a monitor, the space from top to bottom of your computer is more precious than the space from left to right.

  • This looks fantastic! Great work.

  • This Ridiculously Simple Trick Might Stop Gulls From Nabbing Your Lunch

  • The gulls were substantially less likely to approach or peck at boxes that had googly eyes attached to them

  • EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groups

    Jump

  • The article did reference the Signal chat leak. It's also worth noting that Signal is secure, its just also available to the public and not designed for officials only. Cryptography is useless if the device itself is compromised or if someone is added to a chat. I assume they're making people use an internal system that only officials have accounts on. That way you can accidentally add a journalist or impersonator to the chat.

    While Signal is still considered one of the most secure options, security ends when the end device itself is compromised. If an attacker gains control of the smartphone, even the best end-to-end encryption is of little use: chats and images can then be read directly on the device. However, Herpig emphasizes that there are currently few better alternatives to encrypted messengers like Signal or Threema.

  • I'd be interested in seeing different meats compared

  • I bought the MacBook Neo and it sucks

    Jump

  • Useless article. The type person who has Arch installed on a computer is the opposite of the demographic of the Neo. The Neo is designed for high school students who don't even know what Linux is.

    The end even says that it's great for web browsing and watching Netflix. That's what it's designed to do at a competitive price, plus integrating with Apple's ecosystem.

    It doesn't suck, it just wasn't made for you.

  • Before My 15-Year-Old Died, I Never Said The S-Word. What A Grave Mistake That Was

    Jump

  • If you take nothing else from what I’m about to say, take this: you will not cause suicide by asking someone directly if they’re thinking about it.

    The mental health world has firmly renounced the idea of not asking someone directly. And I’m hoping to get as many people as possible to understand this and to jettison silence. You might be the lifeline they didn’t know they were allowed to grab.

  • Irish town’s Smartphone ban offers blueprint for digital balance and kid’s mental health

    Jump

  • It isn't a law, it's good communal parenting.

    Parents in Greystones chose to delay smartphone access until their children reached the age of 12 as a result of the town-wide agreement. Capatina praised the simplicity and effectiveness of the initiative: “It has completely solved the problem.”

    The code’s voluntary nature hasn’t diminished its impact. Despite some opting out, sufficient participation has developed a norm in which being phone-free is accepted. Contrary to misconceptions, Harper clarified their stance: “We’re not against technology…just asking them to wait till secondary school.”

  • Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to

    Jump

  • It definitely is a thing, especially for the elderly. I'm not sure what percentage of scams are done that way, but it's much easier to scam someone if they don't have a chance to think much about what's happening.

    That being said, most of the scams I know of that do this don't ask you to install an app on your phone. They just ask personal questions or for login details or something like that
