RE: mastodon.social/@Gargron/11573…
I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.
I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.

Hallo,
ich hatte heute morgen schon auf @pfefferle@notiz.blog dich angeschrieben.
Ich habe auf meinem Blog für meinen Podcast das Activity pub Plugin installiert und soweit funktioniert auach alles, bis auf die Kommentare. Die Kommentare kommen auf meinem Blog nicht an, ich bekomme mehrere eMails das kommentiert wurde aber diese werden nicht übertragen.
Über Hilfe wäre ich überaus dankbar.
LG Kai
ah! dann funktioniert das wohl ähnlich wie die meisten captcha plugins, die nicht unterscheiden ob ein kommentar über die API oder das Frontend abgesetzt wird.
:(
Guten Morgen,
Ich denke ja. Es funktioniert jetzt und das ist mir das wichtigste.
Danke fuer die schnelle Hilfe!

Pro-kremlin outlets claim that “Bloomberg praised the ruble’s 2025 performance.”
In reality, Bloomberg warned that the unusually strong ruble could actually HURT russia’s economy. As usual, moscow is bending the truth and strips away the key context.

The Ukrainian parliament on Jan. 14 appointed Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister and Denys Shmyhal as energy minister and first deputy prime minister.
Trump has again called for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, claiming it’s vital for NATO and American security. NBC reports the estimated cost could hit $700 billion, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio tasked with drafting a proposal.
The fact that officials are calculating the price of buying an autonomous territory that has no interest in joining the U.S. is absurd. And U.S. media is happily amplifying it.

Folks, I've been trying to hire a researcher for a while, someone who has been around the block. But, I want them to be a *researcher* not a "malware analyst" or "low level researcher".
Whether it's threat hunting or vuln research, they found stuff, analyzed it, and can get into new technologies.
Then, I want them to love AI systems, and breaking them.
They will build systems to detect new types of malware, break agents and write about it, and guiding engineering in how to build detections.
And, they need to love AI enough to be relevant to working with me on this.
I am giving this a final push before I break the role into smaller ones, and I think that would be a shame.
Know anyone I can speak with?

Soon-to-be Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov laid out sweeping reform goals: eliminate Soviet-era bureaucracy, digitize the army, fight corruption, modernize training, audit draft offices, equip brigades with drones, and build Ukraine’s own air defense and smart artillery. He also pledged AI-powered threat prediction and strict accountability, those who fail, are out.
"It's impossible to fight with new technologies using an old organizational structure. Our goal is to carry out an army reform."

Ukraine’s steel industry continued to recover in 2025. Pig iron output rose 11.2% to 7.88 million tons, one of the best results since the full-scale invasion. Rolled metal production also grew by 4.8%. While these numbers are still far below pre-war levels, they show steady progress.
Rising demand from Europe, especially as the EU moves away from Russian metals, is giving opportunities. Still, the sector faces major risks: power outages from Russian attacks, EU tariffs, and rising energy costs.

Kyiv has completed the installation of five mini thermal power plants with level-two protection, according to acting deputy mayor Petro Panteleev. Two are already operational, while three are undergoing final testing.
Two more are under construction, with one diesel-powered station expected to launch in March. These gas-piston units, intended to back up critical infrastructure, have a total capacity of 66 MW. Though not enough to power the whole city, they can keep key facilities running.

UgoogledChromium is lighter on memory than both firefox and vivaldi.
It also is quiet, aka not transmitting your data anywhere unless you tell it to do so.
