He isn’t destroying the entire federal gov, just the bits that are of no value to him. Very important distinction.

If you share your approximate location, there might be someone in your area with a harddrive enclousure that they shucked the drive from.

If your in Australia, I can send you a bunch of Western digital harddrive enclosures for free if you pay shipping.

Network scan your workplace network. I wouldn’t recommend it for a proper IT managed network, but this is clearly a much looser situation.

Install zenmap, and do a scan of the network. Look for a device that looks like a NAS, and then you’ll be able to use its address to connect to it.

Manually connecting to it will depend on your file manager, but it’s a quick google away once you find the NAS address.

I think it’s mostly a defence against getting sued if they got caught. Chrome can point at their policy and get the case dismissed, Firefox would have to defend it in court and risk losing.

But you are absolutely correct, privacy policy’s are only as binding as your ability to enforce them, and you and I don’t really have any means to enforce them against a large Corp.

That’s a bit more than docs for a mouse, that’s technical documentation for a chip…

You based in Australia? I’ll ship you my marble collection.

You’d have to ask Braves lawyers. It could just be that Mozilla is more risk averse, perhaps brave thinks they won’t be sued.

It would be nice if they were clearer, but I think they don’t want to (or legally cant) define exactly what they do.

The reasoning for Firefox changing their policy is that legally, in some jurisdictions, a sale of data is very ambiguous.

They are sending a “count of active users” to advertisers, which their legal team thinks counts as a sale of private data.

Is this good enough a reason? Up to you really. Their policy is fairly wide open for further actual data sales now, it certainly gives me an itchy feeling.

What are the odds that PRS doesn’t represent the rights on the music they claim to?

Could someone please transcribe this? I can’t be bothered to read it.

The stats are a sample, there is inheritantly some level of error. Ignore the month to month changes, focus on the longer term trends.

Gnome shell uses JS and CSS (i beleive anyway), and the w11 start menu is supposedly react native, so I think the answer is definitely yes.

Having done some C to rust auto-translation some time ago, it definitely was wildly unsafe. Maybe it’s better now, but there is no reason to assume it’s mostly safe now either. Even recently I did some regular vibe coding to test it out, and it generated some very questionable code.

Even if there is zero “unsafe”, there could be loads of unchecked array accesses, or unwraps causing panics, which while “safe”, will cause crashes.

Fixing unsafe can be a mixed bag, some will be easy, some will require much deeper changes. And without looking at the code, impossible to say which it will be.

I haven’t looked at the code, but the mem safety may be out if the translation just slapped unsafe and transmute everywhere.

And “working code” is often very hard to replace, it can be hard to justify code changes when the original “works just the same”. So, I would expect the weird ported code to live on unless there is a major effort to rewrite it.

https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz - This kinda covers the “engine without JS” part, it’s a bit more limited, but also in alpha. It’s part of the dioxus project, they use it for rendering UI on desktop.

On the period front: https://bloodyhealth.gitlab.io/ Open source, funded by the EU, and private.

I also wrote one for my partner, but it’s gone because google sucks and killed my dev account.

Very interesting, sounds like it might be adequate for the law, given how loose the law is.

I love the bald head verification :D

Different bits of data have different levels of privacy. My comments here, public, I have explicitly shouted them out to the world. My home address, private to friends and family. My pornhub history, private to me exclusively.

They also want the safety net of the maintainers. It’s cowardice really.
