The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.

Claims 7-10% performance improvement on an old AMD FX thing. No information about the baseline though; whether it's the terrible Snap or Firefox's official binary package. I suspect it's the former because it has known performance issues IIRC and the latter has quite good compiler optimisations already (LTO+PGO making most of the difference).
When I built Firefox for x86_64-v3, I saw no measurable improvement over x86_64-v1 in speedometer. I didn't dare to build the most security critical application on my system with unsafe compiler optimisations though..
Security-critical C and memory safety bugs. Name a more iconic duo...
I'd have kinda preferred for public disclosure to have happened after the fix propagated to distros. Now we get to hurry the patch to end-users which isn't always easily possible. Could we at least have a coordinated disclosure time each month? That'd be great.
TL;DR Amazon is building a Linux distro that starts a chromium to run react native apps. Apparently, you need hundreds of people for that.
A uBlock Origin shield! Amazing.
Original price doesn't matter, you need to compare it against current new offerings. A drive like that, I'd buy for 8-10€/TB at max. because current new HDD pricing is 15€/TB at the low end.
What you also need is SMART output. Watch out for high uncorrectable errors, writes and whatever. I'd never buy a drive without having seen its SMART data.
I'd downvote that comment too. It adds nothing to the discussion and is deliberately confrontative and superficial.
And also tar -the fuck is in this file
Planned fix
December 2023
Yikes.
Mit ihren "kriminellen Aktionen und penetranter Rücksichtslosigkeit" sorgte die Klimaschutzgruppe nicht für eine Steigerung der Akzeptanz für den Klimaschutz.
Richtig. Ist nicht deren Ziel, Brudi.
Die netteren Hinweise auf den Klimaschutz wurden ignoriert. Protest ist die einzig noch verbleibende Möglichkeit, überhaupt noch etwas zu erreichen, bevor es zu spät ist.
I used to not but I wish I did. I want to know where pictures were taken. Photo album software like Immich can also make cool maps out of your photos this way and group photos by location.
As long as you're not sharing the pictures with anyone, there is no loss of privacy whatsoever in doing this. I don't see any reason to generally label it as "not great for privacy".
When sharing publicly, you need to be careful of course and run the images through an EXIF metadata stripper.
