Starting a bit of a tangent here I admit, but this makes me much more worried about the future of mobile browsing.
Sure, soon enough a decent non-chromium based desktop browser will come along, be it Zen or something else, but what about the mobile world?
Right now firefox is perfect for me: It makes the web browsable by allowing ublock origin, it syncs my tabs, history and bookmarks, it's great.
Moving to a scenario that we have a different browser on the desktop and a different one on the phone or, worse, the same on the phone but without adblocking sounds like a huge regression.
P.S. Regarding Zen: If you want to be taken seriously, or at least as something more than a toy project, teaching your maintainers how to talk to your (potential) users will go a long way. Telling them off will not gain you any friends. (I'm referring to the github discussion mentioned in a sibling comment: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/discussions/5907)
That sucks. I'm kind in the same boat, but with one additional requirement: It should have an android app that I can install uBlock origin. The few times that I had to browse from a phone without an adblock I had to stand in awe as to what a lot/most people have to suffer through daily.
(The other more minor requirement for me is bookmark tags, but I may be able to hijack my way around that)
I'm from Greece and I've always dreamt of living there, but through the various turns of life I ended living for almost a decade in the UK first, so now I'm looking to make the move.
(So if anyone from Switzerland is reading this and is looking for an SRE from an EU country, feel free to reach out at cv@ my username.net)
Lately though I've been thinking about Norway as well, though I feel that transition would be much harder.
Allowed is one thing, influenced is another. Remember the Libdem party in UK? Several of its MPs were elected on Boris Johnson’s pro-Brexit program, then turned over and fought against the Brexit. Yes, after the election. Left and joined the opposite party. This is what Europe does to its countries.
I am confused whether you’re mistaken or just speaking unclearly. Boris Johnson has always belonged to the Conservative party. The Tories formed a coalition with the LibDems in 2010 because there was no majority winner in the Parliamentary election, but the LibDems were anti-Brexit. Even the Tories weren’t consistently pro-Brexit.
I'm guessing they're talking about Philip Lee [0] who was elected under Boris' government but defected to the Lib Dems when it became clear just how insane Boris was.
Liz Truss was Lib Dem early in her life but then went Tory later. Most of farage’s party are ex-Tories.
Peoples views change, and parties change. The Tory party of today is very different to that of thatcher, just like the republicans today are very different to Reagan’s
People defecting to opposition parties isn't a strictly European thing. Hell the next US president and a number of his senior appointments are now Republican but were previously Democrat
It’s an amazing butterfly effect - how something seemingly small - Angus Deyton doing hookers and blow - led to Boris Johnson’s popularity on a panel show which led to his London mayorship and antics which endeared him enough to be able to swing enough votes during Brexit to sway one way or another.
But I also find it odd that Johnson became a guest host a few episodes after Deyton was kicked off in 2002. Was Johnson's adulterous nature not known at the time? Johnson's cocaine stories were, I think, 2005 (on the show itself), 2007, and 2019, and he hosted again in 2003, 2005, and 2006, at least the last of those should not have happened on the basis of the argument used against Deyton.
Was it reported by a pentester? (ex-)employee? Facebook itself?
How do we know that it goes back to 2012?
I know in the public sector you have to disclose such things to ICO, but does that also apply to private companies? Who is going to hold them accountable?
Well I'm just thinking of concourse the same way it describes itself, "a continuous thing doer".
I want something that will run some code when something happens. In my case that "something" is a specific time of day. The code will spin up a server, connect it to tailscale, run the 3 scraping jobs and then tear down the server and parse the data. Then another pipeline runs that loads the data and refreshes the caches.
Of course I'm also using it for continuously deploying my app across 2 environments, or its monitoring stack, or running terraform etc.
Basically it runs everything for me so that I don't have to.
