Firefox on the brink? https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/11/firefox-brink/ We need Firefox for the open web. Please do not cancel it. Otherwise, Chrome will force everyone to watch ten ads per page or video. The choice is yours. Do you want privacy and safety, or do you want one company dominating the market?

Pendant ce temps-là.
Oui vous avez bien vu. C'est bien la situation en pleine journée.

It’s fucking nuts that service providers can just remove your purchases like this without refunds.

Today's light bulb:

Why don't browser error pages (you know: "This site can't be reached... ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT", etc) always show a timestamp?

Those pages are often forwarded as screenshots, and the next thing that happens is that the recipient of that forward asks the sender "Thanks. Can you tell me exactly when this occurred?" (so the recipient can look in the logs from around that time). We could skip a whole turnaround if browsers just always put the timestamp right there on the error page.
