It’s also not the old people. Sure, the rich are old people, but that doesn’t mean old people are rich.

I knew exactly what video this would be from the quote. Timeless classic!

But that would drastically change the message, no? People should choose to leave the Matrix because the reward is living in reality, even if it’s harder and there’s no other reward.

Hm, I think it does make the message stronger. If a single event (development of sentient machines) leads to our downfall, it’s easy to shrug it off as “bad luck”, because who could have foreseen it back then?

But if we had multiple chances to correct course and we kept fucking up, it removes any doubt that it’s a human flaw, which means “humanity must reflect and change, or this is the inevitable conclusion”.

It’s cool that you enjoyed it! But there’s no need to pretend that this is a binary choice. Guardians of the Galaxy is also capeshit with a stoic woman, yet IMO Gamorra is a much more interesting character than Captain Marvel.

I also liked many parts of the movie, but some other parts were big enough misses that I’m not really interested in rewatching.

A good alternative is to find ways to make people smile instead :)

Yes, and since that’s the wrong place I kept looking, and found the link I just sent you

I’m guessing it’s this? https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/js/src/builtin/Array.cpp

That’s a different kind of array (Float32Array etc.), not the “normal” kind.

I have no idea how they fucked up that scroll wheel so badly. There’s a setting you can change through logid to make it at least click while scrolling, but still!

I used to not get any as well. Then for a new job I had to sign up with an American company, and since I didn’t have a company phone yet, I used my private number.

Since then it’s been multiple calls/messages per day, but over the years it’s died down. I fucking hate it so much.

Last time I went, the doctor just told me “sick prostate bro” and then booped it

My cheeks clap when I walk so yes, I expect princess treatment

More accurate:

Metal guys: “Hey cool shirt”

Well, that’s a pretty useless approach for tech discussions, because this kind of attack is explicitly not possible on Firefox.

Also, extrapolating such a broad statement from the simple fact that it’s possible to unreliably detect the presence of a single broad category of extensions is a huge reach.

All your underwear is crotchless? u nasty

Because it would look much more weird to walk around naked, except for your butt?!

Isn’t that just Valhalla?

You can see if an ad is served and displayed or not

This doesn’t tell you which specific extensions a user has installed. First, the filter lists are mostly shared between ad blockers, so you can at best tell that some adblock extension is installed, but not which one. Second, the ad might fail to load for a variety of other reasons (e.g. user is offline, firewall blocking URLs/endpoints, network-level DNS adblock, …), so all you can tell is that the user might have an adblock extension installed. That’s far milder than your initial premise: “My point is that any assumption that your extensions are not detected is a delusion[…]”

you can detect if an iteraction was originated by an user or automatic

Sure, and how does this help with detecting the installed extensions? Knowing that the click event wasn’t triggered by the user doesn’t tell you who triggered it.

you can see if letters were pasted or input at a speed no human can match

Again, how does this help with detecting the installed extensions?

It is absolutely a secret! Based on the discussions I’ve seen, many people in the field were quite surprised that this technique works. So just like Meta’s recent-ish WebRTC scandal, this was a secret, even if the code always showed what it does.

My point is that any assumption that your extensions are not detected is a delusion

It is? How are these websites detecting my Firefox extensions?
