Firefox 152 understands 'Sssh!'

There is one thing that Firefox does, that I love

There is one thing that Firefox does, that I love. When you sign up for the Firefox account, I get 'remembered bookmarks/history/passwords across all my devices that have Firefox installed on. Android, Debian, PC/windows. Same interface/shortcuts/bookmarks after syncing. LOVE IT. And UBlock Origin extension for blocking ads. Youtube is enjoyable without ads, and Facebook with FBP add-on really works to limit the garbage ads. I'm 68, and never know when I'll be gone, but I don't want 50 percent of my life spent watching some google ads.

There is a good thing about this messy USA fascist stuff

There is a good thing about this messy USA fascist stuff. The EU now knows that it needs to build its own AI. And buy it's own aircraft. The USA can no longer be depended upon. Trump with fascist MAGA are a danger to the world. It's these little cuts and punches to the rest of the world right now just make people sigh with frustration. However, in totality, these cuts/punches will kill the world. I'm a 20 year disabled veteran here in the USA, and I can tell you that DEMOCRACY here is in serious danger. NAZI MAGA in teamwork with Evangelical Christians have gained a foothold that will take serious will power to stamp out.

Get a Pixel and soon Motorola bootloader unlocked phone

Get a android Pixel and soon Motorola bootloader unlocked phone and put GrapheneOS on it, along with a good VPN like Private Internet Access (PIA). After you figure out how to do the banking apps, you are well protected from "V".

Re: Warrantless search

You are uninformed on Chinese surveillance tech. Sadly, badly uninformed.

Re: Imagine a world.

MORONS are not allowed to post in the interwebz, go back in your hole.

Right Religious Organizations will love this

Next stop, the church texting you that you are only allowed to do it in the 'missionary position'. America is in a crisis right now fighting Evangelical Christians (right wing fanatics), and we're just a couple of steps away on this one. DOJ/3 LETTERS (MAGA ARM of Politics) are really pushing local surveillance now. This is what happens government and religion get together. It's fascism all day every day.

Russia tells citizens to switch off home surveillance because the Ukrainians are coming

Re: Maybe it's simpler than that?

Yes they do. But the 'new' models of ruzzian brides know about Amazon Prime and you'll be broke in a year.

Long Live the Heroes !

Slava Ukraine !

Some of you can't see it, but Ruzzia is already cooked. They have no reserves and the oligarchy are tired of losing money.

Elon Musk needs more cash for Twitter buy after Tesla margin loan lapses

Busted !

Just search for Musk Busted on youtube and you'll be pleasantly entertained. HyperFlop, Electfuge Trucks, Boring Tunnels on the cheap. This charlatan Musk must go. He's an expert on getting government tax breaks and grants, nothing more. He also can entice politicians into giving him hard earned tax money from the citizens to some of his dream projects.

Toshiba formally and finally exits laptop business

I remember those days

I have a 20MB HD in my XT monochrome monitor with 2 each 5 1/4 in floppy drives! I didn't even know what a file system was. That 20MB hard drive was very expensive and I got it off the 'home market' as it was very hard to find available where I was stationed.

FCC under fire for trying to ditch cybersecurity

On behalf of all Americans, I would like to apologize for the MORONS that now run the U.S. Government's most important agencies. We're in a pickle of sorts after this last election, and it will take an impeachment or two to get things right again. One of the deficiencies of our constitution was that there were no lower IQ limits on who could vote, nor who we may elect. Thus resulting in a clown car run government.

Again, my apologies.

Pray for AMD

If only...

If only AMD had joined forces with NVIDIA, this show we're watching would have been totally different.

Instead, they bought ATI, a shit company, with shit drivers. To this day, they still have shit drivers.

You can have the best graphic chip in the world, but if your drivers are SHIT, then, it's game over.

Did I say shit enough, so I'm done with shit.

On the other hand, I have a $180 AMD FX 9590 4.7GHz 8-core CPU with a LEPA Liquid Cooler LPWAC240-HF which totally rocks. The liquid cooler barely keeps the chip from melting when it's at 100 percent usage. I still love it, the bang for the buck cannot be denied.

I'll just say this, and you all know it, if AMD goes under, we'll all pay much higher prices for CPUs. Intel is already expensive for the processing power/price ratio, but your ass will get prison raped if AMD is not there to compete. Some corporate people have bought into the advertising bullshit that Intel is selling and wont buy AMD, even though in many cases that AMD cpu is exactly what they need to compete.

Ubuntu daddy Mark Shuttleworth loses fight to cancel $20m bank fee

IF the reason

"...The dominant purpose of the exit charge was not to raise revenue but rather to regulate conduct by discouraging the export of capital to protect the domestic economy,"

If the reason they (SA) took that money was to PROTECT the SA economy, then logic says when a big transfer into the country's bank system, the depositor should get 20m also. IN/OUT, balance, you can't argue with that.

That DRM support in Firefox you never asked for? It's here

The madhouse continues

And I see there are still morons that think DRM makes sense for the consumer. These are the same people that burst into flames when they see someone else having fun.

Clueless to the clueless

And what Chinese plan could possibly be successful for BB. BB can't make a phone that the Chinese will buy at a price that BB can make a profit on. The only plan is to STAY out of china. These types of statements like BB makes, that makes it clear NOT to invest in their company and to SHORT IT.

Australia floats website blocks and ISP liability to stop copyright thieves

I always see these strange stories from Australia

I always see these strange stories from Australia, don't the citizens have some sort of 'voting' system where they can throw these moron politicians out on their ear?

They can't possible be as stupid on the idiots here in the states?

UK Parliament rubber-stamps EMERGENCY data grab 'n' keep bill

I see you have a epidemic

I see you have a epidemic of 'moron' spreading through your government also. We here in the US have had it for years. Many attempts to eradicate it in politicians has failed. No one will take the stern steps needed to kill it. Those horrific measures needed, such as intelligent VOTING for good clean politicians, seem to be beyond the capabilities of normal 'persons'. True, finding a clean politician is an oxymoron in itself, we must keep trying. Good luck on your endevours, I've pretty much lost hope here in the United Corporations of Amerika (UCA), aka NSA Homeland. (We lost the USA a long time ago).

'Arrogant' Snowden putting lives at risk, says NSA's deputy spyboss

Re: Excellent PR

And don't you know, EVERYONE is a target until proven innocent. That's the way NSA works. Collect it all, let "insert program name here" sort it out later.

I'll say it again. I have no problem with the CIA/NSA etc, doing data collection, but only where a warrant was issued. You can't tell me that in the 21st century, you can't email a judge and in 5 minutes have a warrant.

And really, no juicy pics from any of that surveillance, what's the world coming to ?? /jk

Obama reveals tiny NSA reforms ... aka reforming your view of the NSA

Re: The Fourth Amendment says...

It's a sad (der) day in amerika, the United Corporations of Amerika (UCA), no longer the USA. The real story is the State Dept, which pushes corporate weapons contracts around the world, needs the NSA for intel. It has nothing to do with terrorists. It's all about the money.

I'm trying to get everyone I know here to vote Independent and cut all ties to corporate money. It's the ONLY WAY we'll be free again. The gov has put the constitution into the shredder and does not care about the citizenry.
