jtk , 4 months ago to Technology in European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

I've hated touchscreens on everything since forever, and have been shouting into the darkness about how stupid they are in cars since the idea was first introduced. I think most nerds have been doing the same for a long time. Touchscreen are only good for mindless tapping on unimportant things, everything else needs dedicated controls.

jtk , 4 months ago to Technology in Elon Musk finally says something we can all agree on: No one wants to have to log in with a Microsoft Account on Windows 11

He's probably setting up to suggest Microsoft be required to support SSO so people can log in with twitter.

Wasn't he already busted having that weird account that's a kid talking about hentai?

jtk , 4 months ago to Technology in Twitter security staff kept firm in compliance by disobeying Musk, FTC says

It won't always be called X. 2027: Elon buys a domain registrar. 2031: Elon buys unicode. 2032: Elon allows unicode in domain names. The same day, Elon adds an "Xtreme X" emoji to unicode (it sort of looks like it's spinning, xtreme style), and registers the domain.

Infrastructure control. Transportation, communications, banking, etc. He's going after it all. I'll never touch anything he's even remotely involved in.

Are you talking about those security questions? So dumb. After having days-long trouble getting my internet fixed because of them, I started treating those as additional passwords, generate the answers with my password manager, and save them in the notes section of the entry.

You want Mozilla choosing what gets blocked?

jtk , 11 months ago to Technology in "Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

I wrote a plugin similar to this a long time ago because uBlock couldn't do it, at least not efficiently. I mentioned it in another comment already so I won't repeat everything.

The thing I made turned out to work better for getting rid of links you never want to see (facebook, twitter, quora, etc). You can apply whatever CSS you want to matches, so you can blur using a transform, redact (color: black; background-color: black), hide (visibility: hidden), remove (display: none), etc.

I even showed it to gorhill but I don't think he looked to hard at it and suggested I try something in uBO I already knew didn't work effectively.
