  • Firefox 116 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What's New

  • it's based on this gist - follow the instructions at the top: you'll need to set the right Sidebery preface to make it work, it'll let you toggle it on and off easily.

  • How to make it such that, when running command, it automatically does SOME_ENV_VAR=value command? (something cleaner than aliases?)

function command_one() {
    # activate the environment

  • The only time I saw a data breach changing user behavior was with LastPass scandal last year. Unless it's literally the people's bank account passwords that's at stake, I don't think most would care at all.

    I agree, regulation - either enforced by the platform or authorities - may as well be the only way.

  • it's a social network. Some people do post things related to health and fitness, and it's another gold mine of private data for ad targeting, so from a business perspective it makes sense to have features that integrate Instagram with these health and fitness gadgets.

    This list is a summary of the data they may collect. Using these apps don't mean you're handing all this info automatically. Most of these are actually voluntarily shared e.g. when the user connects a fitness app to it; or actively requested e.g. when they make use of location sharing in the in-app chat.

    The more in-app functionality a user makes use of, the more data they'll hoard about that user.

  • Porn vs other nsfw

    Jump

  • I've never seen a single porn post here and I have NSFW enabled. Maybe because of the instance, but still, I occasionally check "All" sources and haven't seen a single one.

  • How long does it usually take for google to index websites?

    Anything between a couple of hours to more than a week, I don't think having a "real-time feed" through Google is important though. Other than world cup scores, their results were never about speed.

  • right, though the SEO game is changing drastically with AI. People are using GPT-like models often in place of searches and likewise, expecting search results to hit their answers rather than being vague pointers. Following this reasoning, the search engines will need direct users to where the valuable information is, not always, but often enough to not lose users to competitors.

    So the thing about SEO is that it's often an attention game that advertisers and smaller websites compete with each other. The information in public forums and threads is invaluable for the success of the search engine itself, so they're the ones that will eventually have to adapt to the new federated reality, should it become mainstream - and I do hope so.
