i have spend the last few day with the exact same problem, WP, woocommerce, userpro and other 30 plugins... a hunt to find what was the plugin that broke authentication... but doing live and forcing the default theme, as disabling some plugins broke the site, as some idiot decided to edit the main theme to add some code and explodes when some plugins are disabled... and it isn't even my job, but it is better for me to help then than to find 20 wordpress installs, with ancient versions and security problems, full of spam and a generic "admin" account, used by everyone. Sadly it is better for me to monitor and control the installs than ignore it and later faces with total chaos
missing info for the car analogy... if you hire their card and driver, you can not swap cars anymore, you either keep using it or have to rebuild your car and fix any dependency you may have to the old car service
yes, it does... in the past it cached the page, so back would fetch it from cache and was still log faster, specially because network was so slow. Several years ago (maybe 7 or 8 years ago), they started to cache also the already rendered page, so back would not even need to re-rendering most of the cached data
Sir, you are talking sh*t and clearly do not know the numbers and are blind by some other political ideas (let be guess, you are a brexit supporter!)
By the time A380 was started to be planned in mid 1990, big airports acting as hub were growing, many airports were at max capacity and there was no big problems with fuel cost or environmental problems. But being very big gave some production problems and delayed it to a point that the game changed. Now you have several smaller airports supporting the big ones, you have cheap airliners and big hubs only make flying longer and costly, so people try to avoid then. So when it was planned it looked like a good idea and if released on time, it would make still huge sales... but in the end, when it was really delivered it was already a problem.
Boeing started several years later around 2000, where you could see already signs that fuel efficiency could give more benefits and that airport saturation could be workaround with the smaller support airports. That time difference was key for then to follow the right choice. They also had the biggest plane at that time, so they had less need for increasing it even more, making it easier to choose the current model.
Finally, and the main reason why you are talking sh*t, the A380 development cost about 25billions, but at a cost per plane of 445million and 234 were sold, Airbus got around 105billions... that is still a huge profit, most people would love to multiply 4x their investment, and we are talking billions of profits.
So yes, it is not the right design for current time, but it was when planned... and it was still a huge profit. The major problem is how long will it take for Airbus to replace it
But it is not free, we pay for it... The problem is their claim that is "free" internet... "free" only for some services and under certain conditions.
Basically it is false advertising to make look they service "not bad" when you can get better deals elsewhere. It is also filtering other services, blocking then from growing. Both things are forbidden in most places, but as they are powerful, they try to get away with it
The idea was exactly that, kill all those sh*tty corporate sites that still force people to use IE. Those sites are broken, bad past decisions shouldn't be allowed to still work, if MS do not kill it, in 10 years most of those sites may still exist, as management and many sysadmins/devs are lazy and the site "still works". Either rebuild then, replace then or simply kill then. Make the companies pay for those bad decisions, not the users, that are forces to use then.
No, firefox stop using XUL some years ago, at same time multi-process, rust and new add-on where added (talking about years, not one single version switch) The new design required to trash many old code and design decisions. One of the main reasons was that using the interface as a rendering product would block the split of user interface from the rendering in two different, independent processes
We want to track you and deploy closed source solutions/codecs/whatever and that tiny firefox is always blocking it, pushing open source solutions and allowing people to block ads and tracking... bastards!
MS kept a broken IE for years, and it still being used (where they disabled many other things, IE they do not disabled), keeping broken sites working still today instead of finally forcing then to upgrade to something that works in all browsers. Those shitty old sites are still blocking many people from using better browsers. MS should not really be talking about other people browsers! First disable the IE in all windows installs and then you can comment other people browsers!
i also use password hasher plus for sites, to generate random passwords/key based on a master password and site info... you only need to backup the password/key to restore the passwords
It works very well, it is simple, you can push it to git and even share with others (recommended different password stores for personal and shared passwords, of course, so you share only the correct one)
pocket is a product they acquired... if they didn't use it in anyplace it would be a waste of money... and while you do not use it, i know people that do use it. I too would prefer to have it as a add-on, but the code needed for it is also very small, so not a big bloat too
do not blame mozilla to try to find some more funding sources... all features they added where conservative, did little or no tracking and could all be disabled. Yes, not perfect, but if google funding terminates, they would be in a bad financial position, so more funding sources is good. One way to avoid this kind of features is to donate money to mozilla... have you ever donate to then?:) no need to reply of course, even if you donated, many people that complain never donated anything
1- this tests are usually very small team and most of the times not even set management or whatever, it's something some developer wants to test or thinks it may be useful. They still have to do their own tasks. Think as "they are allowed to work some time on open source projects" and in this project, it is a firefox add-on
2- Of course you can not include ALL shops, that is a big project on it own... but this is exactly just like search engines... Do search engines find everything? do they work for everyone? no, of course not... but they paid to be included and it is enough for most people
So: unless you install it, no bload is added. Normal firefox developement is still done. What it does, i too do not care, but for some people it may be useful... that is what this is trying to check... Is it useful?!
they test several features, some get in in firefox, like the page screenshot (it is simple enough and many people use it, specially less tech oriented people that do not even know how to install a add-on), most are never added... i used a past test, vertical tab, loved it and now i keep using it as a add-on... is it in your firefox? no, you have to install it just a normal add-on
If it ever enters the normal firefox, complain at that time... i only imagine this on the browser as a new form of funding, just like the search engine
first this is a test feature! second, you need to install it to use it. third, RTFA before throwing stones
This as this is a official firefox add-on instead of community add-on... probably if it works, they could ask money for the shops to be included in the add-on, so everybody win a little
previous gnome versions used gconf, that where many xml files... as they were many and xml is not that easy to parse, it was slower than it needed to be... that was why they went the binary format for dconf (again, instead of simplifying/reverting to simpler and fewer text files like ini, yml, json):)
uhhhmm... lets use file.../home/higuita/.config/dconf/user: GVariant Database file, version 0
yes, you are correct, it is a big binary gvariant database, totally different!;)
This because "apps" need to constantly check for their configs instead of loading a text file on startup... loading a text file every 5s is slow and adding some reload menu option is ugly, so lets use a binary blog so it is 30% faster!

Go this comment, exactly the same response!

Seriously, some people like to panic over everything!
first this is a test feature!
second, you need to install it to use it.
third, RTFA before throwing stones
This as this is a official firefox add-on instead of community add-on... probably if it works, they could ask money for the shops to be included in the add-on, so everybody win a little
