ok, there are illusions but they are not arbitrary as your discussion implies. I your example, the brightness, not color, illusion is due to the surrounding intensities and how the visual system emphasizes relative ove absolute intensity. Necessary as most objects only reflect light and relative intensity is what is more important than absolute intensity. So this illusion illustrates a visual strength not weakness.
@sintrenton @dlmayhem It seems that Tuta has for unexplained reasons recently dropped support for Javascript, so if you have sensibly disabled WebAssembly for security reasons, Tuta will unhelpfully just tell you to upgrade to a more modern browser, even if your browser is already latest version.
Could this possibly be the reason for Tuta failing in your browser?
@sintrenton @dlmayhem Thanks @Tutanota for the link to the blog post which I did not see before, this explains motivation for using WebAssembly over Javascript and good overview of workarounds, although unfortunately users who are using web clients without WebAssembly only see the error message "Seems like your browser is not supported or outdated" which is not an accurate diagnostic and misses the explanation given by the blog post.
In the blog post it says that compiling the C code to Javascript "would make the app too slow to be practical", I am curious what are the numbers for this? Like how much longer would it take a client to sign in using compiled Javascript instead of WebAssembly? And would it be a matter of seconds, minutes or hours to sign in?
I switched from Internet Explorer 6 to Mozilla Firefox 2.0. After Chrome came out, I tried it a little bit, but every time I went straight back to Firefox. I'm still using Firefox today.
Vivaldi user here. I know, it uses Chromium, but I just love the customization of Vivaldi. The lack of native customization in Firefox and some stability issues with the android app made be go back to Vivaldi after using Firefox for a few months.
I think Google just reached to a point where they are certain that they don't have to please their chrome users anymore. They have plethora of products that have a monopoly or nearby monopoly. And their services are tied up with one another. They know chrome can survive even if they implement all their shitty decisions. There are too many huge forks like Brave and Vivaldi that will die once chrome stops development. Which is why chrome won't die or lose to firefox. We should also take a note that majority of the people who use chrome won't even mind about it. That's why they are so confident.
Won't users of chromium forks to drop the MV2 extension as well? I can't imagine that the Chrome Web Store would continue to support uBlock Origin in the MV2 format.
And misleading as hell. Headline talks about uBlock Origin, text then talks solely about MV2 extensions.
No word that MV3 also supports almost all features in a fork called uBlock Origin Lite. They even have a handy list of the supported features.
No word if Firefox pledged to keep access to that one (open to abuse) API forever. So will they remain working or will the same problem show up in a short while again?
Tor Browser isn't very secure though IIRC because it's often late to the patch party. So rather use it for exactly the things where you need TOR.
I wouldn't recommend Brave though, the boss is a prick who financially supports homophobic laws. And it's deep in the crypto bro scene. Also it's based on Blink and if they don't keep manually supporting Manifest v2 they will eventually remove it as well ^^'
I highly recommend just using Firefox and going through the settings to e.g., force-enable DoH and certificate transparency, clear cookies on quit (+allow list), disallow third party cookies, etc.
Will they? Or rather they keep using Chrome because they never experienced ad-free web, so they don't miss it, so they have no motivation to fight it. I find people are used to ads, accepting them as part of the life.
I always find it kind of fascinating how big companies can be so useless for so long, and then suddenly so active when things escalate — like, they had all the information, they knew what was going to happen, and still they didn't do anything about it until it became an emergency. Why?
I mean I do that too, but that's just ADHD, I don't think companies can have that.
Glad you managed to get this sorted. Unfortunately it's still affecting us and without such a large platform and audience I don't see any hope of us getting Microsoft to resolve it.
@lisamelton I miss the leverage Twitter gave people with customer support issues. It’s good to see that hasn’t died.
But I feel about this the way I feel about stories of people donating money for someone’s medical issues. It’s great that worked, but the system is still broken.
I have been messaging you on X and on Mastodon in regards to accidentally deleting my entire account one I was suppose to delete one legendary account, could you please reply to my posts on either here on Mastodon or on X please as I want to keep the @tuta.io email but God rid of the @tutanota.com email is this recoverable by any chance please? I messaged you just over 24hrs ago.
The Global Monitoring Laboratory conducts research on greenhouse gas and carbon cycle feedbacks, changes in clouds, aerosols, and surface radiation, and recovery of stratospheric ozone.
I remember when small experiments to test how high CO2 would affect plant growth used 350 ppm for the “high CO2” treatment. The world has blasted past what we viewed back then as a disastrous number.
Microsoft Outlook is blocking all emails from tutanota.com as spam. @Tutanota is understandably not happy at "radio silence" from Microsoft's support team.

they are also playing very dirty in affirming their Google shopping over any other price comparison website. Legal proceedings in the EU have been going on for years, now it would appear like Google is throttling traffic to that kind of websites. They've all dropped in visibility over the last few weeks. 🙄
“We’ve reached a tipping point where we have sufficient scientific knowledge of how to reintroduce species,” says Neil Carter, associate professor of #wildlife #conservation at the University of Michigan.
“But the social and political aspects are the other side of the coin. The biggest risk emerges from these animals coming into conflict with people and pets. It’s probably the number one issue facing conservation.”
"Maintaining healthy populations of just nine key wild species (or groups of species) – including elephants and wolves, but also wildebeest, musk ox and bison, as well as marine fish, whales, sharks and sea otters – can play a vital role in controlling the carbon cycle on land and sea."

BREAKING: On November 14, NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment aboard the Psyche spacecraft beamed a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from nearly 16 million kilometers away (50 light-seconds) – about 40 times farther than the Moon is from Earth – to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. This is the farthest-ever demonstration of optical communications.
DSOC, an experiment that could transform how spacecraft communicate, has achieved ‘first light,’ sending data via laser to and from far beyond the Moon for the first time.
