through titles sure. but that’s not what i need from any site.

that is… pretty neat. is there some way to get it to interop with a browser’s bookmarks?

if only there was a fuzzy content search included. usually i don’t remember the page, or the topic, but just like… a quote.

that’s actually a good use for this local ai stuff, take the contents of pages i bookmark and auto-tag it based on that. for that matter, archive the contents as well.

i use bookmarks for sites i access frequently, like a speed dial thing. i’ve set up my bookmarks toolbar to be in-line with the address bar and icon-only, so that it blends in with the rest of the interface. if i’m just going to go back to something one time i leave a tab open until i get time.

if i bookmark something i will never look at it again

ah so no generative ai used in actual article production, just in meta stuff and for newcomers to ask questions about how to do things.

yup, running a global network on top of something designed to be slow seems… inadvisable.

you’re calculating the sha256 (i think) hash of the previous transaction block’s hash plus your block of transactions. What’s making it proof-of-work though, is the stipulation that “the hash has to start with at least five zeroes”, with “five” being an adjustable difficulty value. To be able to get that specific hash an otherwise meaningless number (a “nonce”) is included, and by increasing this number by one you can change the hash value.

so basically, all these servers are running hash calculations on the same thing over and over again with a single number changing between runs until they get an “approved” hash value. whoever gets there the fastest gets their block added to the chain, then everyone else has to start over with that hash as the “previous” one.

It’s called “proof of work” because it’s difficult to find a suitable value, but it’s trivial to check that it’s correct. you just need the nonce. so by presenting that nonce to everyone, you’ve proved that you “did the work”.

as for the reason why they do this, if each block’s hash is dependent on the hash of the block before it, it means the entire chain is resistant to tampering. you can’t insert a block in the middle without recalculating the entire chain.

i had such a bad experience with 7, it was horribly unstable on a computer that had handled vista just fine. i switched to 8 as soon as i could and was better off for it.

the trademark got bought. it’s still FLOSS, and they pledged to keep it that way, for whatever that’s worth. code can’t be retroactively un-gpled, so if they did decide to close it down they couldn’t just take it offline, only do new development in private. the big fishy thing was that they added a CLA to their repo, which only affects developers. as an end-user you’re fine.

also, the “crap” was a draft proposal of opt-in telemetry, which was subsequently scrapped. the company in question is based in the EU, anyway, so they would have to abide by the gdpr for any collected information.

the hackaday series on this is probably the best summary.

as long as floorp’s funding can sustain 500 full-time browser engineers, sure.

because that’s the way it is. if google stops funding firefox development, all the forks disappear.

that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

“your instance” is where you made your account, so lemmy.world

take a breather and come back to it later, the place will still be here :)

according to gorhill, it’s not as much dead as “done”. idk if that means it still works though

really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.

the part that’s safe is in the browser. it’s a basic fact of how http requests work that you can just request data and then not read it.

also, “task managering the popups”? unless i’ve missed some very weird development that has literally never worked, because popup windows are part of the parent process.
