Further Left than even Obama himself!? Is that even possible?

MS Windows and PHP… yeah I can see the resemblance. They’re both crufty old tools that are obsolete for more than a decade but still widely used and talked about.

It seems to have been a win 7 innovation. Personally I gave up on it after XP.

Windows can do symlinks now? Watch out, they’re slowly catching up.

So… like Wayland, but with an API capable of doing all the things people want to do? Is there a downside other than it not being finished yet?

manufacturers could add support for the new key by updating the KEK database

Oh right, the KEK database. They are literally trolling us aren’t they.

Hm, someone claiming to be Vaxry says it’s real, it’s not April fool’s day, the link is to the domain that’s on their github page, it’s still up however many hours later… well that was unexpected.

This has been going around all over lemmy and I still had no idea what the actual news (if any) is supposed to be. So I did a diff against the 2022 version of this Mozilla blog entry. The differences:

• Changed “Starting today, Firefox is rolling out Total Cookie Protection to all Firefox users worldwide” to “Firefox is rolling out Total Cookie Protection to more Firefox users worldwide.”

• Added mention of Android.

• Changed “recent stories” to just “stories”, since the reporting on this is no longer recent.

• The somewhat whimsical image from the 2022 version has been replaced with one that to me looks more generic and illustrates the technology less clearly, with more irrelevant detail in the alt text and no credit for the artist.

• Changed “Today’s release” to “The release”.

• 2022’s “Bringing Total Cookie Protection to all Firefox users is our next step towards creating a better internet, one where your privacy is not optional” changed to "While bringing Total Cookie Protection to more Firefox users has been one significant step in this journey, we have still kept our sights on an even safer, even better internet. And starting in 2024, all our users can look forward to Firefox blocking even more third party cookies. That’s right; we are taking big swings to adopt new cookie partitioning and clearing mechanisms so that users can browse with fewer cookies that won’t stick around as long and will result in an even better browsing experience. Just another step on our road towards creating a better internet where your privacy is not optional.
