This is Australia

Yes, I saw that in the article. What's your point, that if in Australia it's not real?

I was curious so read the Kmart wikipedia article over morning coffee. Seems like these (no longer) share any ownership with the original. Which I guess raises a philosophical question about names and existence that will require at least a second cup of coffee :-)

to be fair, Australia does kind of seem like a made up place with made up animals

There's fsearch which has a similar UI but isn't as fast.

Here is the same statement posted on Microsoft's website: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09/11/a-joint-statemen...


Not completely the same. On OpenAI‘s site it begins with "OpenAI and Microsoft" and on Microsoft‘s with "Microsoft and OpenAI" :)


A proof by example that equality does not imply identity.


> A proof by example that equality does not imply identity.

In this case, is the opposite.


Hmm? Semantically they are equivalent ("this is the same statement"), bytewise they are not identical ("not completely the same"). Both parent comments are true statements. Things can be in the same equivalence class without being identical. What am I missing?


I found the Copilot-generated commit message suggestions distracting when editing files from the web, so I made a uBlock Origin filter to block this feature:

Technically Edge can also be installed on macOS/Linux/iOS/Android.


I always liked https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ but that's not the primary consumer page.


I hear that they don’t embed tracking metadata in those builds on the FTP, but I haven’t confirmed that.

The normal download page embeds a unique tracking alphanumeric string in your build that is reported to the organization on a regular basis when the telemetry phones home unless you disable this manually and clear the values.

Thanks for that authoritative source.

Is Firefox a honeypot? I can’t see how this serves the user. All telemetry should be opt-in, not opt-out.

We want failsafe, not faildeadly.


Maybe not the oldest version any more: https://x.com/fcbunn/status/1565036107049336832


Maybe Sumatra PDF?


Can it really offer those views? Last time I tried it, it seemed very, err, bare/unpolished. Kinda felt like Arch Linux, I don't doubt it can't do it, but I don't know if I can do it without reading some documentation (no disrespect intended to Arch or Sumatra!)


Sumatra can do side by side with or without a cover page but I don't think you can do a frameless UI and the dark theme is a bit fugly.

It is a fairly mature program, it's just that the developer decided to maximize on "small" and "fast" at the expense of other things.


Ads and many online features can be removed before installation of Adobe Reader by customizing the installer using the Adobe Reader Customization Wizard for Windows [1], where there is an optional labeled "Disable Upsell" [2]. There might also be a version for macOS [3]. It might also just be possible to just directly set the appropriate "FeatureLockDown" options in the registry/preferences in your system [4].

Or I install an alternative where I don't have to do this.
