Yes, this has been a big concern in the past.

What I mean by that is there is a definite Netflix house style. Which is basically a Hollywood movie style. So everything is beatifully cinematically shot, with incidental music throughout, with all characters woke aware, all US based etc etc. There's nothing wrong with any of this at all, but it make everything look the same. It's all a bit one note.

If we look back at older films and TV series there was a much greater variety of styles.

In "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", the hospital is stark and grim. In "Rached" the hospital is beatiful. So seems less real.

Some older British films examples, "Scum" or "Threads", the lack of incidental music and the harsh lighting makes these seem like documentaries so very real and much more frightening.

Older sitcoms just seem to be funnier by being less cinematic. Netflix comedies are like Holywood films, well shot but dont seem as funny as older TV sitcoms.

I realise all TV companies suffer from Hollywood style copying to some extent, but Netflix does nothing else...from what i can see.

This x1000. There was some truth in this 10 years ago but now?

I keep seeing this story, what are these unencrypted protocols people use. Is it just for the stupid who accept on cert errors.

The version I tried had no about:config.

I used to set a few options in about:config, like turning off WebRTC (I know I can do this with an add-on but WTF for one config option) .I also have my own sync server, to change that is in about:config, I saw no way to do this in the new version.

Seems like they want to make a browser that is less power user friendly.

On openwrt "ip6neigh" makes all these things doable but as you point out this is all this isn't exactly elegant. IMHO ip6neigh should ship with openwrt. Then use fixed allocated EUI slaac, so IPs are predictable, and use ULA addresses internally that are fixed.

The mistake is really ISP's still want to live in a world where fix IPs are a premium thing and so can charge. This is pretty ridiculous with IPv6 being so large.

We are probably also a minority that care about things like inbound services on home connections.

The ivory tower network designers seemed to have catered for big corps that can get their own ipv6 allocation, they can take ISP to ISP. Or home users that don't care about a fixed allocation. Small companies/home premium users are not well catered for.

Yup, some of us were pushed by management to deploy this as the standard company wide browser (IE on Windows and Unix). Also remember Netscape wasn't free for corporate use, technically.

As soon as IE had a monopoly on browsers, they dropped it.

Some of us need a lot of trust building to see MS as having changed.

Still waiting for my Linux Skype for Business, now Teams client. My Office for Linux client. Or any MS Linux product without massive compromises (SQL server).

Is the mantra I still work to

To be honest I don't what you mean by the security implications go much deaper. In some sense you are better on public WiFi, your mobile phone company can no longer log your traffic and you are actually anonimising your connections to the Internet (doubt the government is getting all MAC addresses from every NAT router in cafes). Assuming cookie cleanliness and https etc

The biggest threat I see is that Android has often apps listening on inbound ports, amazingly. Don't know why, maybe debug. Though I've never seen these exploited, or anyone really caring.

Using quartz crystals for archive storage looks faster and more stable. Billions of years at a write rate of 100Mbs

Some of us remember MS's antics with IE on Unix (Solaris and HP-UX). This was an era when companies were supposed to pay to license Netscape. MS launched free IE and claimed you could have the same web experience on all your platforms. Great!

But no sooner had MS IE become the standard, they dropped Unix IE like a hot stone. If you want the Internet, you need Windows. This ultimately led to the locked in disaster that was IE6!

As that great orator said "Fool me once you can't get fooled again."

Yes but the point was it will be hard for Fuchsia to provide these functions.

Also Android is so much more useful with Linux. As in it can be deployed in embedded application, industrial applications, due to Linux having so much flexibility. That is likely impossible for Fuchsia, mainly due to not able to have the breadth of device drivers.
