That will stop working way sooner than you’d like. Freezing a browser isn’t tenable at all, not just for features websites are expecting but also security issues. There’s a reason every browser except Safari has a 6 weeks release cycle.

You throw stuff at your colleague, but there’s a fan producing wind influencing the direction for each throw. You have some objectives to do, like getting him to pull a pencil out of his ears or swallowing a phone. It’s a rather short game but it is funny.

Apart from my usual rounds of Fortnite and casual Cities Skylines, I’ve been re-enjoying Office Jerk on iOS again and got a few laughs out of it 😁

Firefox uses the Web Extensions standard, just like Chrome. There are minor differences here or there but largely the same, tech wise.

RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.

Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.

Of my 32 GB at least 26 GB are constantly in use.

While I don’t agree with what Google does, they want to remove third-party cookies entirely next year. So it’s indeed a replacement, not supplemental.

SF-UR, K-DST (GTA SA), SoulwaxFM and LSUR (GTA 5) will always be my go to 👌

Webkit is an incredibly complex and rich engine for rendering web content. That kind of content comes in so many uncountable varieties that still need to work correctly. Easy example, this is equivalent:

<b><i>test</i></b>

<b><i>test</i></b> (imagine the last I and b being switched, Lemmy won’t let me do it)

Even though it shouldn’t but there’s enough idiots doing this so the browser supports it.

Now imagine, on top of that there’s also a huge engine interpreting runnable code (Javascript). Any runnable code is inherently unsafe so it has to be sandboxed. That’s where the vulnerabilities come into play. There are so many ways to break a sandbox and it’s impossible to 100% find every single one.

Regarding experimental Features: These are for developers to verify their stuff works with upcoming features. If you don’t want that, just don’t use that. That simple.

I still have it from time to time that Windows has to install a driver for something benign like a thumb drive. Not always, though. And yes, the driver is fixed to the physical port. Using a different port reinstalls the same driver again.

Experienced this exact behavior on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

My data just serves as a counter point to the argument “new domains are always cheaper”. Of course it depends on the domain and how greedy a particular NIC is to create a text file on a server.

Definitely not. Some examples (actual prices I pay for my various domains):

• com: $18/y (gTLD)
• net: $19/y (gTLD)
• de: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
• re: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
• design: $49/y
• tech: $55/y
• blue: $23/y

No you’re correct. Android does run a JVM, just not Oracle’s. That has always been the case. Back in the day it was Dalvik, nowadays it’s ART.

Finally some sane voice. People don’t seem to think 2cm in front of their nose.

Anything that is Facebook/Meta is in its own container for me. That way they can “track” as much as they want, they won’t see new or even accurate Info.

Just like with Threads, this is post number 2920 saying the exact same thing over and over again and removed about someone having fun. I really hate these coordinated attacks here.

Not to discredit your experience but I don’t find long pressing the image (or whatever other content), then pressing share and whatever app you want to share with hard to find or remember.

There is a big difference between “WTH is this shit” and “This is a reason for me to use another app”.

Unfortunately Memmy doesn’t support it (yet) but Voyager does :)

Cities: Skylines and “Tatortreiniger” (A German series about a guy cleaning crime scenes) doesn’t sound too bad.

You’re not an idiot. Nobody expects three-year-old posts between ones created 5 minutes ago. The sorting algorithm here on Lemmy is absolute dogshit.
