If happens, it will start a clock ticking for Firefox to replace that income or shrink to a sustainable staff size before their money runs out.

Would Apple be banned from funding Firefox by this?

A content management system admin? Painful.

I have a photo from that trip handing up poster size in my house. A random waterfall panorama.

Yes, particularly the variant distributed on a business-card sized CD rom. To be carried in your wallet for emergency use.

At one time there were browser extensions that allowed you to comment on any web page and allowed other extension users to see your comments.

The comments were hosted through the extension and not on the pages themselves.

Something like that would be possible but I don’t know anyone offering it now. I presume no one wants to moderate that.

I had a friend who liked to sulk around in a trench coat. He bought a grocery store donut and promptly tossed the receipt.

He was soon stopped by grocery security for theft. After some hassle they tracked down his receipt and let him go, but yeah that’s what donut receipts are for.

After Ubuntu for many years I switched to Arch because they packaged a number of things I wanted that Ubuntu did not.

If you are happy with Ubuntu stick with that. I have friends and family that use it and it’s fine.

Good example. It’s true that an even a GET request not designed to mutate data might still fail to validate input, allowing a SQL injection attack or other attack that escalates to the privileges that the running app has.

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

 

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.
