If I recall correctly, Project Trident was M$'s ambitious attempt at a new proprietary browser to replace IE before abandoning it and just reskinning Chrome as 'Edge'

As a deeply progressive person I agree with the responses that technical projects are not an appropriate arena to advertise personal politics.

Further more, I am offended by vigilantes who hate and dehumanise anyone who dares hold a different belief to them.

The advent of #LadybirdBrowser is a very positive thing imho

  • Telemetry truly off
  • Performance improvements
  • CROSS PLATFORM!

Waterfox is the outstanding choice due to its being performant and CROSS PLATFORM. Having it on Linux AND Android is a godsend!

Dropped giant US tech firm OS's to get away from this. Putting Fedora on my avoid list.

A sobering statistic:

Trump won with the support of just 75 million votes in a country with 335 million citizens. 

In other words, just 22 percent of the US citizens decided to drive the country off a cliff, and everyone else is now going down with them.

 

I have only one Apple device and nothing else. I wanted to update the notifications email for my Apple account.

I open my AppleID in a web page of Safari on my iPhone.

I follow these steps :

1	Log in to appleid.

2	Select "Sign-in and Security"

3	Select"Notification Email" (the defunct email is displayed)

4	Select "Change Email"

5	Enter a new valid email address in the modal popup.

6	Click continue.  The following message is displayed:

"Continue on one of your devices On an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch go to Settings > Apple ID. On a Mac go to System Preferences or System Settings > Apple ID."

When I look in Settings > AppleID ON THE DEVICE there is no option anywhere to change notification email … 🤷🏻‍♂️

People have been posting about this on the official Apple support forum for years with no solution mentioned.

Adguard DNS + Adguard Pro Safari extension. No need for other browsers. Works better than anything I tested. Honourable mention to Brave browser.

All of the digital assistants appear to be degrading to me. I suspect directing consumers to paid ‘AI’ versions which allegedly work, are the corporate plan.

You may have overlooked Snapseed. Free as in beer, surprisingly full featured.

A novel Linux Kernel cross-cache attack named SLUBStick has a 99% success in converting a limited heap vulnerability into an arbitrary memory read-and-write capability, letting the researchers elevate privileges or escape containers.

The discovery comes from a team of researchers from the Graz University of Technology who demonstrated the attack on Linux kernel versions 5.9 and 6.2 (latest) using nine existing CVEs in both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, indicating high versatility.

Inequality in Australia is growing and is driven by the rapid accumulation of wealth by the very wealthy.

The wealth of Australia’s richest 200 people nearly tripled over the last two decades. In 2020-21, capital gains exceeded all other types of income combined. Tax reform is needed to address this problem.

iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

*Yes, I’m aware Files app is provided by Apple, but it’s extremely basic.
