Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)

Peer review is essential for science. Unfortunately, it’s broken.

There's no incentive to fix the system, which was never designed to catch fraud anyway.

@arstechnica Rocketry is hard, the fact that SpaceX has it down to an (almost) fine art, makes it easy to forget for many, just how incredibly difficult the engineering is...They'll have this solved and sorted pretty quickly to everyones satisfaction,, to that I have no doubt.

@rbreich America is just about the opposite of socialist. How anyone could ever believe that has to be some sort of litmus test for a delusional disorder.

@rbreich It has perplexed me for a long time when people say "tax the wealthy" but they balk at a flat tax where everyone would pay a percentage without loopholes.

I remember both times you kneecapped Hillary Clinton, and long before that, Al Gore.
At one time I respected you, but I realized at some point it was only because of your flowery mastery of language, rather than the quality or value of your opinion.

Law requires grantees to offer low-cost plans. GOP calls it "rate regulation."

@arstechnica One wonders why we even report on such things anymore. (/s) Republicans only like something if it makes life more difficult or impossible for minorities.

@arstechnica I seriously can't see how people can't see that calls for privatizing things with no limits won't result in, well, no limits. In such a system it's not lowest bid wins, it's everyone finds the absolute highest bid they can get away with and then just focus on marketing to convince people their way overpriced service is better than the other way overpriced service. Marketing works a lot better than pricing for competition it seems because that's just how humans are.

The goal of the exploits was to open Explorer and trick targets into running malicious code.

Latest Apple Arcade additions show Apple is looking backward, not forward

Opinion: Games that were popular in 2011 or even 2022 won't move the needle for Apple.

@arstechnica I really love that you are on Mastodon, but since the timeline is pure here, dumping 12 articles at the same time, kind of spams my timeline. Is there some way you can avoid the article dump? On topic : Apple Arcade - I love the pick-up-and-play vibe of it - More Indie/experimental, is better suited for PC or Consoles imho, but it'd be good for Apple to get one fresh knock-out hit game on the service.
