Privacy@lemmy.ml•Should anybody trust Firefox again unless they put "we won't sell your data" back into the privacy policy? (Have they done so...? I can't tell.)
4·24 days agoMaybe I’m just an old, cynical man (I’m 44) but it’s not like their policy forces them to follow it, I mean why trust that “they promised they won’t do it in their policy” means they won’t just do it anyway but don’t tell anyone?

Programming@programming.dev•I haven't written code at all these holidaysEnglish
6·3 months agoHave children. You will have no spare time to code for several years after that 😆 Mine are 4 and 5 years old now and I never have time or energy to code outside work.
But I think that’s a good thing. I leave coding at work, mostly use my computer for gaming.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

Programming@programming.dev•Claude Code gets a web version—but it’s the new sandboxing that really matters - Ars Technica
3·5 months agoOne of the strengths of the too-many-approvals approach was that it made sure developers were still looking closely at every little change.

Games@lemmy.world•Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announcedEnglish
2·6 months agoThat understand gamers about as much as you understand marketing. It’s about percentages. If they get some small percentage to buy the subscription, it’s a win. It matters absolutely nothing how many people are irritated by the ad.
