You can buy them now, because the US hasn’t banned their import yet, but that’s what these laws will lead to.


We’ve had a name for them for the last 200 years: the capitalist class, or to be more precise, the haute bourgeoisie. The 1% of the 1%.


Thank you, Tim Apple, for making 2026 the year of the Linux desktop (but not necessarily the Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint desktop).


Even when HTTPS is in place, an attacker can still intercept domain look-up traffic and use DNS cache poisoning to corrupt tables stored by the target’s operating system. The AirSnitch MitM also puts the attacker in the position to wage attacks against vulnerabilities that may not be patched. Attackers can also see the external IP addresses hosting webpages being visited and often correlate them with the precise URL.


I think DNS-over-TLS & DNS-over-HTTPS would be no less vulnerable than web-over-TLS & web-over-HTTPS.
The satellites are basically constantly yelling at the earth, and your device is just listening to their yelling. The satellites don’t know who may be listing.


That’s good to hear.
Edge is proprietary and Microsoft has deep pockets, which explains how they’re able to do this. I wouldn’t assume they’ll continue to do this, and no one can fork their code should they switch to Manifest v3.
Brave seems to have managed to both remain open source and maintain several revenue streams that add up to quite a lot.
Edit to add: Brave’s Manifest v2 support appears to be limited, and Microsoft has already started their planned retirement of Manifest v2.


The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.


I don’t have any general recommendations. IMO most of them disappoint, because most of them don’t understand the languages they support very well. It was Microsoft that invented Language Server Protocol and almost every editor adopted. I’m not very impressed by it, and it seems to be stagnant.
AFAIK the best example of an IDE having a deep understanding of its language is DrRacket, which is specific to Racket. The best one that I’ve actually used is JetBrains’s IDEs, enough so that I pay money for it.
This YT video is specifically about a Clojure IDE by one of its developers, but it explains some general shortcoming of a lot of code editors, and why IDEs that understand their language(s) well can be so powerful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOi8V4qsdVY


Those aren’t the types of control I alluded to, as you can see upthread.


Yeah. Your example: How many forks of Chome/Chromium have rejected Google’s Manifest v3 changes? Zero, because they’re all soft forks and don’t have the resources to hard fork.


“Otherwise” is doing Herculean lifting here when the code is nearly 100% Microsoft. The way they control it is by changing VSCode’s code, which is then dutifully incorporated into VSCodium, with the exception of telemetry code.


Tell me how you really feel 😅
They also own Visual Studio Code, control VSCode, and effectively control the VSCodium soft fork.

There are also inexpensive ESP32-based Nest Flock camera detectors out there. They work by detecting their Bluetooth & Wi-Fi traffic, specifically by scanning for manufacturers’ OUIs on MAC addresses.


$ type exifstrip
exifstrip is aliased to `exiftool -all= -overwrite_original'
So we were right all along: never leaving the bed again is the answer.
