The install script one hasn’t aged particularly well. Although I haven’t used the official one, so maybe it’s not up to IRC standards. Everything else though, totally on point. When is this from?

Well, it does say it would be a floating colony, so it would probably be up where the atmosphere is about as dense as Earth’s, and above the sulfuric acid clouds, which is quite a bit more feasible than on the surface. That’s something actual real scientists and engineers have looked at. Still not overly feasible though, and there surely won’t be a 1000-person colony there by 2050. Even if NASA, SpaceX and the rest of the industry pivoted to Venus rather than Mars, I’d doubt that could happen. And I’d trust pretty much anyone more than this guy to pull it off.

My understanding was that the browser vendor itself would be the attester. So if Google says it’s Google Chrome, it probably is. Unless you somehow reverse engineer how Google decides that it’s Google Chrome and spoof that or something…

A) Maybe not you, maybe not me or anyone else here, but 99.99% of the rest of the world? And when the rest leave, is Mozilla really going to be able to justify maintaining a browser for those that remain? B) There might not be a website that would do it, but what about if practically all websites with any corporate backing did it?

I may not be 100% right, as I haven’t looked at it in detail, but I think it’s even a bit more than that. Since the way that’s proven is by the browser vendor signing the request (I assume with an HTTP header or something), you could also verify it’s from a specific vendor. So even if Mozilla says, yes, we’ll display your ads, a website could still lock down to Chrome. It would probably also significantly hamper new browsers, and browsers with a security/anti-ad focus, as they won’t be recognised by major websites that use the new protocol until they have market share, which they won’t get if they don’t have access to major websites.

Nah, nah, it was the International Phonetic Alphabet. Can’t have something like that on the 'murican internet.

But… If you claim you’re always wrong, that means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right…

I’d be on board with this, but as you say it’s a show of a community’s coordination. Are there any lemmy communities coordinating anything? I couldn’t see any in a brief search, but I very well might have missed something.

Ah yes, the standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. The tactic does not get old.

If 18’s the limit, I’m below that most days, and perfectly comfortable. I just wear a jacket if I need to, with a blanket over my legs if it’s particularly cold, and I’m nice and cosy.

What about the “all” stream? Is that also preloaded to the server?
