When X.com eventually gets around to making its own window system, they may be in legal trouble. Perhaps the resulting lawsuit can raise enough money to get X.org development going again.

People who find that "frustrating" have led too sheltered a life.

You have been trolled by Canada's "newspaper of record."

Spoiler: It's 0.1 tonnes of CO2e per subscriber per year. This is not mentioned in the article.

This includes for example the emissions generated in the course of constructing the rockets that launch the satellites. So far it's unclear to me whether, when comparing to terrestrial telecom, they include e.g. the emissions produced when manufacturing the trucks that deploy the infrastructure.

It will have no practically significant effect. Websites do not have access to browser chrome css properties. The worst it might do is change the dimensions of the viewport in a way that makes your browser fingerprint slightly more unusual, i.e. the same thing that would happen if you set the UI to "compact" mode.

Is EVE Online still going? It appears to be. It's a somewhat challenging game and very different than what you're used to, but it really was fantastic for getting to meet good in-game friends way back when I played. Of course some of them would eventually betray you, take all your stuff, and leave your dead corpse floating in space, but even so it's very much a team game that may be what you're looking for if you happen to be into spaceships and/or spreadsheets.

Some test code made it in before they stopped it due to the public reaction, but it was never functional in mainline chrome.

The next question is whether they'll be evil enough to try the same with the web environment integrity thing. We know you're thinking about it, Google. Drop the Staff of Dread Zombies and back away from the corpse before somebody gets hurt.

Lazy loading of images through the mechanism controlled by that setting is relatively new, and many sites unfortunately still have javascript to do something similar in browsers that don't support it.

It'd be nice if Firefox could let us turn off the new feature in a way that's undetectable without specific measures to look for it, but it seems extremely unlikely that Mozilla will ever find that worth the effort of doing. In some cases you might be able to just block a single script with noscript or ublock, but all the implementations are different and there's no general solution unless maybe if you find or create an extension specific to that purpose.

It got rebranded as the “Topics API” and is now live in many people’s web browsers.
