a browser is like an operating system. your should not notice it. A good system just works, so you can use the applications / websites. A browser should not bring a videochat client, it should enable you to videochat on websites. And if pocket was an extension, why can't it stay that way?
Why aren't they packing the stuff, which annoys the user, in like 40 extensions (pocket, sync, apps integration, personas, australis theme, js console, mobile developer tools, hello,...) and preinstall them? - They still have many users, who use the default - The annoyed users disable the addons - They can benchmark the small firefox to show how fast it is instead of the current monster in the next benchmarks.
I think your problem is, that you...... fed the trolls. You play the "its crap" "no it's not crap, because..." "your argument is invalid, because" "but my other argument is valid" game with them.... You brought it to personal stuff and/or replied to personal stuff. This means, you let the flamewar about an article get to a flamewar about if your achievements are great enough. You compiled a rather big post with your achievments. First people can try to dissect it, what are great achievements and which are not so great and second it seems like you're trying to profile yourself. I guess it's just self defense, but then you're argumenting about your worth with a not very sensible audience. In my short post, i did not reply that sensible myself, and this are the reasons. I felt provoced by your post, which i read as "my article MUST be great, because of [my achievements here and there]". Now i am just trying to clarify a bit, why you're getting more and more hate instead of "hey, we value you because now we see you did much great stuff". Things do not work this way, when the discussion reached that level.
I do not see, what's inside the popup, maybe because of adblock. But the usual stuff in such popups do not belong there. Its "like us on facebook", "subscribe our newsletter", "disable your adblocker", "look at other stuff of our website". All things, you might think as reasonable. AFTER reading your article. Why should i like your site, before i read any word? Why should i subscribe the newsletter not knowing if your articles are worth it? I am using an adblocker on purpose, some nagging will not change it that easy. Not before i see, your site is worth it. And if i want to see other articles, i will find them. Others mentioned: http://tabcloseddidntread.com/ You may see the point.
You wrote a blog article. On a site, which forces a (dysfunctional) popup first onto the user. You try to push it via slashdot. Okay, here is much mediocre content, and your point is worth to blog about, it's not really worth a newssite article. Anyway now it's here.
Then you got the critique, just as above, often a bit more harsh. What are you doing? You're presenting, what you are, what you are doing, why you are deserving that people value your article.
Really you're more defining your person, not your article. And this is the first place, where you actually bring your person into the discussion. But when you try to tell us "hey, i am cool, because i have github projects, do this, do that", you challenge us to judge you by your presentation, you challenge us to decide if we think it's worthy or not.
This is the wrong point, but you brought yourself into the situation. We are here for the slashdot article, especially the discussion of it, and your article. You got some negative feedback to the article, which might be correct or not. But you take it personal and bring the discussion to the personal level. And you attack others ("where are your open source contributions?").
Stop it. You're okay as everyone else here, even when nothing is contributed to open source. You should not define yourself by the contributions. Not by your code, not by your articles. Otherwise you take critique to your stuff as insult to your person. And if you publicly define yourself by your content, others will do so as well.
And when you have seperated the two, start accepting the (negative) feedback about your stuff. Not everything must be as good as it was meant, not everything has to be good right at the start. You may improve, you may do better next, you may see that some people find it not as bad as the most people here.
I guess much stuff from your open source repos and so on is valued by many people, which is good. And if its only useful for yourself, the try to make it open for the case somebody's interested is good anyway. But do not bring this as defense for other stuff, which is not valued. You're mixing things and thus the critque and attacks mix up things as well. You do not really want this to happen.
stop being so narcisstic. Your great blog, your full github, your past submissions... you're the greatest, aren't you? Just accept some critque, improve your website and move on.
great site, thank you. I always feel that way... Look at the "nobody likes popups, but i am here anyway". They already know the reason, why i am closing the site. Why are they doing it anyway?
1) It is. Without any further configuration. Maybe it's the first device in your lan, which will use ipv6, when your router advertises a range. 2) no need to 3) no need to. Read the label with the MAC on your hardware, put it behind your prefix and you have the fixed IP. So you do not need to decide, you do not need to configure and it's perfectly predictable. 4) This is not changed 5) do so
It's not complicated, it's only you having to much respect trying it.
Have a look at the existing home infrastructure. For example my Fritzbox has great IPv6 support and does what you would expect: It ships a firewall by default. You can configure portforwardings or forwarding everything for a specific host by whitelisting the MAC (because the hosts get new ips with each new range allocation from the ISP), i think you have uPnP as well (ugh!). Everything else is firewalled in the sense, that connections from outside are not possible.
With normal IPv6 you still have a single firewall in your router. Just like now. It's not NAT which is dropping packets, its the firewall. It's NAT, which is forwarding some packets, which would have been dropped otherwise.
The firewall will stay, NAT will not. So you can open:80 in my LAN, but my router will forward packets belonging to connections to you, but no packets creating new connections to your webserver. Stop confusing the two!
Of course you can do NAT and there are reasons to, but it is not NAPT, but some 1:1 mapping of IPs.
and why do you want to stop interaction at all, if you warm it up to allow (random) interactions? Either it does only repair itself all the time, then why freeze it? Or it does repair and reorganiziation with information loss, then it does at the warm intervals do both as well.
The next generation will not hear the sound of their childhood. The recorders will have uploaded it to the cloud and make it hard to download it, to sell more ads on the cloud pages. The company will finally have been bankrupt or just stopped providing the service. The parents will either not have any access or the option to backup, which they did not use or understand.
"Offline" devices may have the data, which is locked via some DRM scheme to prevent the competition to use the data in their devices. The key to it will be lost as well.
Slashdot Mirror
chromium: Lean and not spyware.
BUT not very extenable compared to firefox
palemoon supports firefoxextensions
chromium is the default "chrome" for linux. and for windows the good alternative, because it does not bring google updater and such crapware.
by the way: why sponsored by telefonica? I though hello uses webrtc in peer to peer mode without any server?
it's good, they are not. else every website would have counter measures, resulting in even more weird scripts working around the blocking and tracking you even more.

why can't they distribute the addon with firefox? users could disable it and they could update it independently of the core.
khtml is now called webkit/blink and the base for all modern browsers except firefox.
iceweasel is just firefox without firefox logo and name.
palemoon seems to go into the right direction, but they lack useful linux source/binary (i.e. to build binaries for a debian repo).
Why aren't they packing the stuff, which annoys the user, in like 40 extensions (pocket, sync, apps integration, personas, australis theme, js console, mobile developer tools, hello, ...) and preinstall them?
- They still have many users, who use the default

I read some, not all.

no DRM? So i can record it?
Okay, let's be not too harsh.
You wrote a blog article. On a site, which forces a (dysfunctional) popup first onto the user. You try to push it via slashdot.
Okay, here is much mediocre content, and your point is worth to blog about, it's not really worth a newssite article. Anyway now it's here.

So this was a bit more elaborate feedback.
Try pure debian.

It's not complicated, it's only you having to much respect trying it.
ever heard of torrents?
1) privacy extensions. My log says me, 50 addresses visisted me. Are they from 1 or from 5 computers? i do not know.
2) You do not want this.
Have a look at the existing home infrastructure. For example my Fritzbox has great IPv6 support and does what you would expect: It ships a firewall by default. You can configure portforwardings or forwarding everything for a specific host by whitelisting the MAC (because the hosts get new ips with each new range allocation from the ISP), i think you have uPnP as well (ugh!).

You're confusing NAT with firewall.
With normal IPv6 you still have a single firewall in your router. Just like now. It's not NAT which is dropping packets, its the firewall. It's NAT, which is forwarding some packets, which would have been dropped otherwise.
The firewall will stay, NAT will not. :80 in my LAN, but my router will forward packets belonging to connections to you, but no packets creating new connections to your webserver.
So you can open
Stop confusing the two!
Of course you can do NAT and there are reasons to, but it is not NAPT, but some 1:1 mapping of IPs.
