That’s an amusing name but they take a photoshop competitor to market using that name they’re going to lose a trademark dispute in milliseconds.

Problem is the effort to find a vulnerability and exploit it is often higher than the effort required to patch it. Because by its nature a browser and the server it talks to are internet connected, Google will be able to revoke keys for older exploited versions at will. As long as it’s well-engineered I think there’s a good chance they’ll be able to keep that secure.

Though I’m sure there will be some successful approaches to ad blocking etc but if something like this gains traction it could completely change the internet. If enough people are running browsers like this then sites could effectively be able to kill off competing browsers that aren’t restricted.

I think the key is to not let it happen in the first place, and boycott browsers that implement stuff like this.

The point of the proposal is to allow servers to be sure the software (ie browser) running on the device is what it says it is, and take away the ability to spoof what browser you’re running (which is currently fairly trivial).

So if someone makes a browser that doesn’t allow adblockers and always shows ads, the server can do things like only serve content to that browser.

Pi with Kodi on it is pretty good.

I miss things like Scrubs, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Community - they all struck a balance between being comfortable/wholesome and cool/intelligent.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was close but ultimately got bored of itself and started to do weird novelty stuff before petering out. Big bang theory etc are way too sitcommy.

I’m looking at Ubiquiti’s UniFi doorbell. It’s not cheap, nor really intended for home installation (it’s more like office grade stuff), but I already use their networking kit and run their software.

I wish my car’s interface was more minimal.

I don’t mean removing knobs, knobs are good. Hiding things in 5 level deep touchscreen menus is not minimal.

I mean.. removing visual noise. Removing unnecessary lights. Streamlining controls. Taking away indicators that aren’t important.

My dashboard dials are now a screen, why can’t I have an option just to display the speed and nothing else? Why do I need to see 4 dials, two driving modes, and some other crap all the time?

There’s a separate screen for the satnav, why does it need to have permanent menus displayed on it? Or visible buttons? Road names? Status indicators for various settings? I want an oled with a black pixels-off background, roads in gray, and my route in white. Nothing else. Not using the satnav, turn the screen off.

Why do I need a perpetually scrolling display showing the name of the current song? Like sure I want an interface to choose music, but I don’t need to see it all the damn time.

CarPlay is better than most native infotainment systems but it’s far from perfect in this regard.

That’s a fantastic feature.

Pretty sure they’re just gambling that this’ll give them a bump in installs/logins with their mobile app that they can use to boost their figures for IPO.

There's a osu-ish purple blob appearing bottom right (colours are limited this year so no pink)

Lmao the header image on their modnews post about it appears to have a pixelated dumpster fire.

10000% a play to get people to install their mobile app. They don’t care that it’s just so they can contribute one pixel to a giant “fuck spez” banner, all that matters is their app metrics will grow a bit.
