I'd be afraid of wearing out a battery super fast. Outside of super long trips that require recharging to arrive, I'd much rather leave a car plugged in overnight rather than need to pay to replace batteries. Also, like @stoy@lemmy.zip said, it's a lot of power at once that could get dangerous if something goes wrong or overload grids if lots of people start fast charging their cars.

Though of course I'm sure it's a great achievement and hopefully the research is useful.

From my understanding, you can prevent Recall from running just fine, you only can't remove it.

From the video sounds like it can be prevented from running, just not removed.

Also possibly Fennec for mobile. It's Firefox based but cleaned up like Librewolf.

That and Brave & Vivaldi have built in adblock that allows them to keep MV2 era adblocking despite being Chromium based.

Been seeing that a fair bit too lately. Freetube, Grayjay, and Newpipe seem so sometimes get around it, even if the error is in the browser the video will sometimes load in those apps from the same IP. If you get lucky and find a working invidious/piped instance that might work too.

Otherwise, turning on a VPN and switching between servers will usually eventually lead to a working one. That, and if you're up for it, check to see if your favorite creators are on places like Peertube, Odysee, or Rumble that don't block IPs like YouTube does.

Mozilla gets millions in donations, but they give millions to their CEO and millions to political activists. Had Mozilla demonstrated they couldn't survive on donations alone I (and presumably others) would be a little more forgiving. But right, from my perspective, it looks like the board is using the Mozilla coffers as their personal piggy bank instead of making a good faith effort to do anything that would allow them to survive without enshittifying.

Potentially, but in different ways. You could argue that mass defederation and hostility between communities are the beginning of a fediverse specific enshittification process. And instead of running out of money and then swamping platforms with ads, the big servers could run out of money or get a bored admin and instances could dissapear. Constantly dissapearing instances could also be a fediverse specific enshittification process.

Sorry, not sure if you intended to reply to my post or if it was intended for another comment. If you were intending to reply to me, I doubt they'll ban the Israeli flag, although they also haven't banned the Palestinian flag either. They started removing one emoji when used as a representation of something that violated their rules and wanted to clarify the slightly misleading headline on The Intercept's part.

Again, though, as I said above I'm still not a fan of the rule. Meta has made a lot decisions (moderation and otherwise) that I'm not a fan of.

I think the ublock origin lite thing was a legitimate mistake, though I understand Mozilla's depleting benefit of the doubt.

Systems used by courts and governments across the US riddled with vulnerabilities

They get (got?) millions in donations, maybe instead of giving it to their CEO and political activists they put it into the browser they could run their browser without ads. But instead they became the infinite growth (at least attempted anyway, not doing well in the growth department) funded by ads silicon valley company in a nonprofit's disguise.

“user is clearly posting about the conflict and it is reasonable to read the red triangle as a proxy for Hamas and it is being used to glorify, support or represent Hamas’s violence.”

It sounds less bad than the title, not an outright ban on the emoji just a ban on using it as a proxy for otherwise banned ideas. Still not a fan of Meta's longstanding belief they're the arbitors of morality and what may be discussioned.

It feels almost coordinated to get you to feel like all companies are compromised, so you should just use the popular thing and forget about privacy and security.

People are criticizing Mozilla for the ads, tracking, and AI stuff. The stuff Google does. Criticizing Mozilla is not an endorsement of Google, in fact quite the opposite.

crazy how as soon as mozilla does good stuff nobody is there

We're all glad to see Mozilla have a win, at least I assume so. But there's been a lot of other much bigger decisions that have gone on recently that make us (at least me) hesitant to celebrate at the first good thing.

Might be somewhat close to what you're looking for

I believe that Google services collect a lot more data. You can also turn off telemetry in windows by disabling the service and such, so I'd probably say the big G is less private then Microsoft. Microsoft also has a slightly less tracking business model.

I know absolutely nothing about any martial arts, but my two cents is that if it beings you benefit and it's not hurting anybody then it go for it.
