i guess you’d need to expose both options: the ability to sync some profiles to some accounts and others to another… for example, i probably wouldn’t want my personal profile to sync to my work devices but id want my work profiles to sync between each other and be accessible from some of my home devices
totally; and i think that’s very fair for the large majority of use-cases… most people don’t need different browser settings: they just need different local storage
containers are for general browsing; profiles are for the whole browser
profiles allow you to have different addons installed, different configurations between addons in different profiles, different browser settings (eg a SOCKS proxy for work profile, or a different default search engine, default fonts, etc… or for technical users you can have a profile with experimental settings turned on)
also different addons, and different configuration for addons etc
profiles also allow different addons and addon configurations, default fonts, browser config, etc… it’s kinda like having a whole other user account or a whole other copy of the browser, rather than just cookie and storage isolation
in global shipping, closeness actually doesn’t make things necessarily more eco friendly: when you have 100 ships full of cargo heading from china to the US, they’ve got to return too… either they return full of something, or nothing
i’m not sure how it all works out in this case, but slowly moving things from the US to asia is practically free, in pretty much all regards
which they handled about as well as you can: prompt and clear notification without trying to pass the buck
the potential of a data breach is just a fact of life with any SAAS product - bugs happen… and it’s exactly the SAAS part of the product that makes the invites/login/aggregation of servers so smooth
there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication
there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too
i’m not likely to wrangle installing and maintaining wireguard on my mums cheap smart tv
and if that’s the solution, as i said you get plex local playback so that’s free still anyway
my main issues
the thing that everyone always glosses over is that jellyfin should not be run on a public network. it has known security vulnerabilities… that includes VPN remote proxy, so now you have to have external users on your actual VPN, and if that’s the case then plex will work fine because it’s “local”, and has a lot more features
(and my main issue: media segments don’t work on swiftfin)
the good guys are people defending their country from military incursion
in this particular case (or rather ukraine, poland, estonia), in every conceivable situation, russia are the bad guys and nato are absolutely the good guys
has nato done some disagreeable shit in the past? sure! absolutely! there’s your grey: nato aren’t always the cut and dry good guys… but in this case… cut and dry: russia can fuck right off and nato is a force for good
the mozilla foundation is largely responsible for the whole adtech and ai slop nonsense that nobody asked for
the mozilla corporation is responsible for firefox. there is no way to support firefox development

selection of stuff they think sounds really good for business stuff, all the buzzwords

of course you’re right! we should just shut down some of the largest mines in the world
i foresee no consequences from this
(related note: south australia where one of the largest underground mines in the world is, largely gets its power from renewables)
people should probably move from canada and most of the north of the USA too: far too cold up there during winter
sounds reasonable… i’ll just go tell large parts of australia where it’s a workplace health and safety issue to be out of AC for more than 15min during the day that they should do their bit for climate change and suck it up… only a few people will die
perhaps for that particular group… though i had a friend whose old af macbook air had stopped updating literally years ago, and he still used it because it still worked… but then apps slowly stopped working
i installed linux on it, and he was actually really keen to give linux itself a go, and it worked great for him!
i gave him an old macbook a little while after that, and he’s back on macos now, but he said he’d switch back in a heartbeat if there were problems (slowness, update compatibility, etc)
i guess the thing being he’s not really technical enough to care about the OS other than outcomes, but also was actually interested in linux itself to learn for the sake of it… he’s a lab tech, and vibe codes data manipulation tools, so not a lot of IT-related skills, but always interested in learning
PLA is pretty brittle AFAIK. these need to be squeezed, so i’m not sure it’d do… perhaps they could add something to it? but whether that additive would also be compostable… it’d certainly make it non-recyclable
local storage isolation is the less interesting part, because that’s achieved much more cleanly with containers… profiles allow a kinda separate instance of your browser with different browser settings, addons, addon configuration, bookmarks, etc
