I guess the main ones for me are the improved federation capabilities (wordpress, discourse, etc) and the image proxying. But there's a few smaller nice-to-haves too.

I'm assuming this isn't also the update to 0.19.5
No rush or anything, but do you have a rough ETA for when that is planned?
They should, but that's never going to happen unless political lobbying is made very illegal (like life ruining and business bankrupting illegal, not slap on the wrist, cost of business illegal)
Presidents will get to open a merch store that sells a few books after their presidencies now rather than the presidential libraries
Doesn't this already exist or did I imagine it?
I thought they introduced it years ago
Edit: oh I read again, this time it's free

Not a solution. Much of the modern web is reliant on JavaScript to function.
Noscript made sense when the web was pages with superfluous scripts that enhanced what was already there.
Much of the modern web is web apps that fundamentally break without JS. And picking and choosing unfortunately won't generally protect from this because it's common practice to use a bundler such as webpack to keep your page weight down. This will have been pulled in as a dependency in many projects and the site either works or does not based on the presence of the bundle.
Not saying this is a great situation or anything, but suggesting noscript as a solution is increasingly anachronistic.
*mad that he torched the site for this business model, only for Google to find that the data was basically useless for training
Flash was magnitudes worse than the risk of JS today, it's not even close.
Accessibility is orthogonal to JavaScript if the site is being built to modern standards.
Unfortunately preference is not reality, the modern web uses JavaScript, no script is not an effective enough solution.
A whitelist wouldn't mitigate this issue entirely due to bundling
I suppose you'd fall into my "you'd install a file manager app if you actually needed it" category
Well, by that measure, you don't need JavaScript to make inaccessible sites, there are plenty of sites out there that ruin accessibility with just HTML and CSS alone.
It's always up to the developer to make sure the site is accessible. At least now it seems to be something that increasingly matters to search result rankings
Mate, actionscript was not only basically JavaScript with adobe vendor extensions, but it was literally a programming language! If that's not arbitrary code, then you've got a crazy definition of what is! You've kinda unequivocally demonstrated that you have no idea what you're talking about at this point, I'm afraid.
And way to completely misunderstand the evercookie. The flash part was how it could jump between browsers, no browser cookie can do that. It was a combination of everything that made it such a problem.
ECMAscript is based on JavaScript
I'm not gonna bother entertaining the rest of your post, you can't seem to even get the basics right
Tbh at least this one makes sense, who is going to use a VPN (an internet privacy tool) from Google?
I wish there was a Google translate for memes
Got no idea what's going on here
......I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.
If you're going to this extent already, you may as well jump on the run0 approach systemd is introducing.
oh no, I can hear rumbling
The internet has broken my brain.
scnr is a new one on me and in an attempt to figure it out, my brain did not land on the now rather obvious "sorry, could not resist" but "skibidi cap no rizz" as some kind of ironic initialism
I'm gonna go and find some grass now
Well I live in a rainy part of the UK, and we basically had rain all month, so longer showers are probably more likely helping avoid the reservoir flooding over here
I guess the one upside to this situation is our water isn't even metered, we just pay a flat rate every quarter
That's also without going into how shaming someone can easily send them into a spiral where it's even harder for them to motivate themselves to improve (this isn't just regarding fat people, but rather shaming anyone for something that requires lifestyle changes to remedy)
Happy people tend to make less self-destructive life choices
Hoping the EU drops GDPR 2 requiring them to delete the entire model if it infringes or something.
Expecting the US to meaningfully regulate US companies is like expecting.........
You know what, even including physical impossibilities, I'm struggling to think of anything less likely
I wonder how Reddit investors are feeling when they find out even Google couldn't pull something valuable out of the Reddit data
Not that they were a great company to begin with, but nice one Mike Ashley, killed off another brand basically
LG do some digital signage displays you could probably use, but you're gonna struggle if you want anything above a 60hz refresh rate IIRC.
The venn diagram of flagship consumer device features and commercial displays is pretty much two mutually exclusive circles.
I wanted the same, but ended up just going for a smart TV on my last upgrade. It's not that I couldn't find anything within my budget, I just couldn't find anything with the picture quality features I wanted. So please, do let me know if you have better luck
Haha okay
Edit: after a skim and a quick Google, this basically looks like a packaging up of existing modern processor features (sorta AVX/SVE with a load of speculative execution thrown on top)
People don't tend to need to browse local archive formats on their phones I guess, and if they do, they'll have a file manager app with support.
There's support for some formats if your files are in cloud storage like Google drive, which is a more likely use case for phone users
GIGO
I think a big part of it for RAR specifically is that it's a proprietary format that would technically require Google to license it, and for the tiny percentage of users that would benefit, they don't bother.
A seemingly random but relevant example is the Japanese travel card situation with Pixel phones—every pixel on the planet has the necessary hardware to support Japanese travel cards since the pixel 6, however only pixel phones bought in Japan can use the feature (locked by the OS) because it would mean Google would have to pay a per-device cost worldwide.
This is kinda a similar situation I'd bet, they've proven they would rather not include the feature than pay for licensing
That's a weird emoji to use for elixir
And there's not really any money to be made charging licenses to open source projects—see ffmpeg/vlc
Google including it in android though means they can charge licenses as a per unit fee because, basically, Google (or phone manufacturers) is a company with money.
We're talking about Android, unrar doesn't have anything to do with this really.
RAR is and will continue to be a proprietary format with an owner who can seek royalties.
It's like saying Google should stop licensing MPEG because ffmpeg exists—it simply doesn't work like that
Flash ran as a browser plugin (as in not an extension, but a native binary that is installed into the OS and runs beside the browser, we basically don't do this for anything now)
Flash was pretty much on weekly security bulletins in the final years, arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation exploits were common, that's why Adobe killed it.
Flash was never safe and comparing JavaScript to it as a greater risk shows you've not fully understood the threat model of at least one of the two.
Ah fair play, I didn't realise unrar was from the same guy, cheers for the extra context.
So I guess we go back to what else it could be:
There's probably other reasons I've not thought of, but just a couple of the above are enough to explain it IMO
That's literally the one main somewhat valid use case for plugins, and it's basically because of DRM. A plugin that allows arbitrary code to run is a security nightmare, that's why we don't do it anymore.
A lot of the security features you describe were added by browser vendors late in the game because of how much of a security nightmare flash was. I was building web software back when this was all happening, I know first hand. People actually got pissy when browsers blocked the ability for flash to run without consent and access things like the clipboard. I even seem to remember a hacky way of getting at the filesystem in flash via using the file upload mechanism, but I can't remember the specifics as this was obviously getting close to two decades ago now.
Your legitimate concerns about JavaScript are blockable by the browser.
Flash was a big component of something called the evercookie—one of the things that led to stuff like GDPR because of how permanently trackable it made people. Modern JavaScript tracking is (quite rightfully) incredibly limited compared to what was possible with flash around. You could track users between browsers FFS.
You're starting to look like you don't know what you're talking about here.
I don't care about a list of billionaires, but I just know this guy cares about being on it, so that makes me happy
Why is it basically only the EU that seems to have an interest in preventing shitty business practices.
Nice
Man, this guy's so disgusting I'm at the point where I pretty much assume anyone supporting him is just as disgusting as him now.
This kind of fritzl-esque stuff should have turned away anyone remotely reasonable by this point.
I'm sorry, why the fuck aren't these street legal in more than half of the states? The article says something about safety, but these are street legal all over Europe where we have stronger safety regulations.
Also there's something I can't put my finger on about the journalist choosing a hero image of the van losing its cargo.
Socialism doesn't just seem like a good idea, it's pretty much the only possible future that doesn't end up with 99% of humanity suffering horribly.
The idea of everyone being able to work to make the means to survive has a rapidly approaching shelf life, most companies won't employ humans over whatever tech is on the horizon as soon as it's cheaper. The areas that remain habitable due to climate change will shrink
I do not know why this isn't treated as a more pressing issue
