Firefox 130 has been released (link) and everything is going well – responsive, uBlock Origin extension working wonderfully (looking forward to the release of uBlock Origin which appears to be packed with lots of bug fixes and enhancements). For me I’m not really interested in chatbots but my focus is mainly on standards compliance to…

Well, I see that AdGuard Safari Extension was updated in the last couple of days from 1.11.18 to 1.11.19 – the update includes updating the scriptlets library to 1.11.16 which adds new features and fixes existing bugs (link). I’ve still kept my custom user filters that I use rather than relying on the allow list…

Ok, I was watching the Sunday (18 August US time) episode of Meet the Press and what frustrates me was the way in which the issue of ‘banning price gouging’ was being reported – drawing the conclusion that ‘banning price gouging’ equals price controls even though nothing is mentioned regarding price controls.

Apple has released updates to all their platforms today and part of that involves a huge number of security fixes that came through (link) with quite a few updates for Webkit and Safari.

It appears that…

Yes, even when I am on holiday I am following the latest technology news – I don’t want to sound snarky but I predicted this a while ago, there will be the early adopter phase with lots of hype then it’ll be relegated to a niche. Now, I’m not saying that foldable phones suck –…

The narrative I typically hear through the media is the sort of simplistic answer that is normally given by a talking head explaining why people vote for Trump, “Oh, they’re racist”, sure it is an answer but it is the sort of answer one would give if one didn’t want to look any further than…

There is a meme that the right wing have created about how they’re focus on having less ‘back office’ workers so then they can spend more money on the front line: But here is the problem, there is a reason why such back office staff exist in the first place and if they’re not doing…

Went into Noel Leemings to pick up the keyboard and mouse combo on special (link) – I opted for the wired one so then I’m not having to deal with batteries and odd behaviour due to it being wireless. I’ve got it all setup however on my way back from work tomorrow I’m going to…
