  • How do they handle fake data submissions? Ignore and let consumers figure that out?

  • Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data

    Jump

  • When you connect to a secure https site, then no. When you connect to unsecured http, then yes.

    Firefox has its own cert store for https, and could theoretically impersonste other websites by adding their own and then sniff your traffic. But thats not how vpn providers typically work, and thered be huge backlash if they were to do that unprompted.

  • My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?

  • After years of inaction, the US military spent more than a decade developing an infrastructure to avoid civilian casualties in war, but it has been almost totally dismantled under the Trump administration.

  • ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push

  • Maybe Linear?

    Looks like their website became less telling than it was years ago. I think it was during the Atlassian force into the cloud where they showed up as a speedy/snappy, dev-focused issue tracking system. There's a free tier if you want to try.

  • I always found Trac UI bad/unintuitive. I always disliked seeing Trac on a project.

  • "Robo", whenever I search something: “Let me define these search terms for you, even when they are not something you can define like that or you already know all of that, and better.”

    You can't even disable that. Wasted LLM cost. On every search, I now give the response a thumbs down and flag the most fitting tag: Inappropriate.

  • Are you serious? That's insane. I had no idea!

    In February 2025, Williams Racing announced a record multi-year title sponsorship with Atlassian and will compete as Atlassian Williams Racing from the 2025 season of Formula One onwards. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlassian#Sponsorship

    I hope they can drive faster than their software loads content.

  • Codeberg also offers private repos.

    Only FOSS though

    Sometimes, we do tolerate repositories that are not licensed optimally (e.g. due to historic reasons dating back decades).

    Depending on how you read the FAQ entry, they may not explicitly talk about private non-commercial content, though.

  • If happy meals come with a toy, what do angry meals come with?

  • They take a toy

  • We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened

    Jump

  • It depends on contract. Your interpretation matches use as "should". But there's also use as "claims x" or "is claimed or said to be" which the quote refers to.

    Ich soll - I should or I am asked to. Es soll [sein] - it is supposed to be or it supposedly is.

  • There's another alternative: not reporting it as fact, butbeing open about the degree of certainty and the methodology.

    "Someone says", "rumor", and "uncertain automated translation" don't make for very convincing sources or journalistic credibility, of course. But being open about context does moreso than hiding it.

  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

    Jump

  • CPU NPU requirements will mean longer support necessity for Windows 11.

    If they go ahead with subscriptions, demand will certainly add additional demand for that. But I guess subscriptions would be to cover copilot cost. Given Microsoft's interest in people upgrading to eventually reduce support surface, I have to assume it will be optional, for AI features. Following that reasoning, the NPU requirement may be optional too, only applicable to the AI features block.

    But who knows, the whole thing is not driven by reasonable business decisions anyway.

    Also, I had no idea there was a "gaming copilot". Even after following links to the introduction news, I don't get what it really does.

  • Yes, that's what I read elsewhere. No guarantees in contract. So you can consider this to be bullshit or marketing. Even if it's verbal agreements now, you can be sure they won't matter.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

  • There's a German fan version too - in German.

    I've also seen a single person do tasks, I think it was under the title of "until I get casted onto taskmaster" or something.

  • Taskmaster (UK). Free on YouTube, but it's also a TV series, so I'll count that.

  • I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age

    Jump

  • There's also precedent you can point to. Germany has implemented a reasonable system of digital identification and (seperable) condition confirmation (age gate).
