Martin Fowler is in the certification for box checkers business.

99% of the people that read them work at places where they must "move to X" to justify some department. They will likely implement a simulacrum of X (usually by importing some java library someone wrote as homework), adding all the pitfalls and future problems of X with zero of the benefits of X.

> just like in IPv4

is the key concept I am talking about here and everyone keep saying it is not.

Just like ipv4 is what matter and why ISP will never kill NAT. They profit from it, somehow. and it is not just saving money on ipv4 address space.

daily reminder that this is only possible because the very people in this site, "did not care about GPL or tainted kernel" as long as they had their nvidia GTX working to play quake.

ha!

> The reasons were stated repeatedly. They rewrote the mobile browser engine

*this have nothing to do with my comment*

I am talking two or three iterations AFTER that. please, stop commenting long posts where you have no idea.

yes, mozilla moved to a new engine. Before that they moved to a new extension format. etc etc etc.

All the extension developers worked on the ports already, *THEN* mozilla, only for mobile, enabled "recommended extensions" which was fine. Until they DISABLED the non-recommended (not non-updated to the new tech).

It have nothing to do with technology. In fact I have many of those extensions working on my phone by fiddling with their whitelist urls. No problem running them AT ALL.

This is political.

Take my word for it.

I'm still waiting very basic and popular extensions (uMatrix anyone?) for SEVERAL MONTHS.

And try to offer community help. Ha!

mozilla have to die for firefox to live.

uMatrix and uBlock share the same base code, and we have uBlock but no uMatrix... it is all so rotten. Almost like mozilla is actively breaking firefox.

OMG the lack of understanding of basic ad tracking in this forum baffles me.

Nobody is going to pay. But if google serve an ad for a logged out (or firefox) user, they get paid 0.05c if they serve the same ad to someone logged in (via that button or otherwise) they get paid 1.7usd.

the button is just to make you be always logged in.

You are paying all the time and don't even realize.

the visionary aspect was that it didn't need new hardware concepts. Just drop the ephemeral ram (or treat it like L4 cache, so to say) and hope permanent storage gets faster, which it did.

so they can continue to hide from public that most of their revenue is from secondary use they monetize from their database: research & law enforcement (or anyone that wants to buy their anonymized database, that still seem to contain zipcode)

technically, every flash memory today is a cube (well, more of a skewed cube, a Parallelepiped)

Mostly because they can't figure out how to make things faster, or as fast as the interface which keeps getting faster, so they just pile a bunch of flash controllers on top of each other. Everyone is running stripped RAID-0 and don't even know it.

And if you consider that it also uses varying analog voltage values on each node (!SLC), it is arguably a 4d cube. Take that, 90s!

That is the promise they sold it on.

But, point me to a single ISP that gives a cable subscriber more than one IPv6 address. or a /48 as initially everyone was hopping.

ISP profit from NAT. They will never get rid of it. Even if you get a /54 /64 the ad networks will just learn to assign /54 as they do today.

But, another point, ipv4 today is barred from being used to form your advertising profile under current legislation.

> Chrome can't really be sold.

Right. Now try to use that top right "user" icon on your chrome window to log in as a user that is not from a google account.

> How would chrome survive as a business?

by doing *exactly* what Google sued microsoft for trying to do with IE in the 90s. Isn't it funny?

You have 20 extensions that were "approved" by mozilla more than a year ago! All the others are banned forever.

You can install uBlock, but not uMatrix. Many many extensions are banned just because they reviewed ONE extension that they preferred for a certain usecase. For example, for OLED phone night reading, there's the most installed at the time extension "Dark Background and Light text" that offered many customizations and worked on reader mode, and more importantly redish text/links. But too bad, because Mozilla picked the one with NO settings, but a nicer icon (which is literally disney's darth vader, but who cares) called "dark reader" which only have bright blue links and white text (and despite the name do not work on reader mode), and because there is already one extension with "dark mode" they will never whitelist the others, or even provide a setting to enable it on your own.
