Sadly Cloudflare's browser detector is the main barrier to using Servo for most websites, so they're not the angel they seem

The fact that you posted here means that you want people to read your article. Yet you don't have the will to write the article yourself. Honestly, would have been a good read but after about reading 30% of it earnestly, it just felt like a padded article (filled with the usual AI-isms such as "[comma] the marketing is real") that you could have written better.

The problem with using AI to write it is that you are under no pressure to to maintain brevity. Maybe not a bad thing when you need a guide but in this case it just made it harder to read

So that burn notice episode about freezing ram is real? Damn, thought they made it up

This. Put another way, if it's harder to solve the problem than the statistic, then change the statistics.

Obvious in many ways once you've lived there

Appreciate the reply. I've starred the repo and might give it a try in a future project

This looks nice. I already use `github.com/patrickmn/go-cache`. Any difference between yours and go-cache? Also, how much of it has been ai developed?

Looks horrendous on mobile. I love the effort, none of the other tools work for me and I might consider paying once I get to try the real deal

Yeah, I think people who have not experienced the system have no idea how absurd the German process mindset is. If it's not part of the process, it's impossible - damned what the reality on the ground is

I'm surprised your take is so controversial. This really is it - yes, the current core users are not interested in AI but most people in our lives who are not techies do use them, and Firefox needs win these users if it wants to stay relevant.

Of course, I have opinions on other ways it could make money instead of jumping on the latest hot thing (pocket, fakespot, VPN, etc) without actually truly building the ecosystem but at least they are trying.

In case anyone is keen for an explanation of the vulnerability, LowLevelTV has done a video on this:

https://youtu.be/dgPI7NfKCiQ?si=BVBQ0MxuDpsbCvOk

The TLDR is that this race condition happened with unsafe code, which was needed to interact with existing C code. This was not a vulnerability with Rust's model.

That said, you can absolutely use bad coding practices in Rust that can cause issues, even for a regular programmer.

Using unwrap without dealing with all return cases is one example. Of course, there is a right way to dealing with return methods, but it's up to the programmer to follow it

Adding my 2 cents worth to this: why is there not a Mozilla family internet suite of privacy browser, VPN, relay, tracker blocker, etc for one price? I already pay for family plans for other services, so this is a no brainer if it exists.

Right now, all of Mozilla's products are not even available in a standardised form in key countries. For example, I pay for Mozilla relay and VPN, and these are not available in the same countries!

Mind you, I'm lucky to have actual access to several countries, and so I can work around this. But really, why can't this team just put everything in one place for me?

Besides relay and Mozilla VPN, I am also paying for Bit warden password manager.

I'm also willing to pay for a privacy-first email(though I haven't done so yet), and please have a family plan that bundles all of this together!

If Norton can have an Internet Suite, why can't Mozilla?

You bet! Shadcn is defacto component framework for a reason - it removes a lot of the mental load of design when you're an individual/small team building apps

I don't have an eye for styling. That said, I have hundreds of hours of experience using CSS and frameworks such as tailwindCSS.

Of course, if I am being honest, the real reason is that there is so much CSS code out there, I can really find anything I need. And so can the LLMs.
