Signal is funded by donations. They got a few pretty big ones a while ago from some wealthy donors, so I don't know whether the donations by normal people by now are enough to cover their costs. I try to donate a bit though, at least enough to cover my costs and those of a few of my friends.
Yeah, it's useful in two ways for me:
- Screenshotting the full page.
- Making it really easy to select specific parts of the page without having to draw and precisely position my cursor.
I think if you try it, you'll soon realise why it's neat.
I think the sidebar makes more sense for that - and of course, that's already supported.
And pop-ups also get covered by other windows as you switch between them.
It was too crowded, so now they just gave the whole lane to cyclists and block through traffic for cars.
Well that was low on information, and the question in the intro ("Does that serve any purpose?") never got answered.
One use case I can think of is a liveblog, e.g. when they're a football match on. Mini Window makes it easy to keep that open to the side, and glance at it every now and then to see if anything worthwhile happened.
Doesn't have Containers, the screenshot tool, Mini Window, extensions on Android - all mentioned in the article.
It's just a different set of tradeoffs. Firefox already enables a bunch of fingerprint protections by default, but balances that with trying not to break too many websites. If you enable it all, you might be less fingerprintable, but your experience otherwise will be worse.
I think so too, but only thanks to your pointing it out, so thanks.
In other words: at any given time, only one of [sandbox or renderer patches] needed to compromise the browser would be available in the patch gap
That's clever.
Ik gok dat de inkomsten uit verkeersboetes nu al wel minder zijn dan de uitgaven aan infrastructuur, dus in die zin is er dan nog steeds incentive om verkeersboetes te verhogen - dan hoe je minder uit andere belastingen bij te leggen.
I don't recall anything about the MPL being removed from the executable. It's also absolutely possible (and has frequently happened) to get a lot of publicity about something minor or irrelevant.
Yet here I am, basking in my sweet fake internet points.
Here, I cropped the credits off the comic for you:

Dank! Normaal heeft de NOS wel een waarschuwing volgens mij, maar dit jaar nog niks erover gezien.
Goeie ASCII art ook.
Just wanted to say, that's an excellent transcript. I have good vision so I don't need it myself, but I appreciate the effort for those who do.
Theoretisch zou dat idd allemaal moeten kunnen, maar in de praktijk heeft Lemmy dat (nog?) niet geïmplementeerd en kan het dus helaas nog niet.
(Waarbij "dat" = "mensen op nrc.social volgen", niet per se de hele server. Dat zou meer zijn alsof je heel x.com zou volgen, ipv specifieke accounts.)
I think it's just funny that she's not painting a model, or a still life, but what she's seeing through the peeping hole - and that there's a bunch of dangerous-looking folks outside the door.
Yeah I think so, potentially with insurance against American repercussions?
Well, what is he doing?
