I joined Twitter fifteen years ago. I had no idea that I would use it for more than throwaway tweets about my breakfast. Sadly, Elmo thought that $44B might buy him power, and X was born. I've moved to BlueSky.

@revanmj @marcusash @thebookisclosed @cadenzza_ In what circumstance are you seeing SmartScreen AppRep "many times a week"?

@marcusash @thebookisclosed @cadenzza_ How about SmartScreen warning when opening downloaded apps? It is screen that many people see many times a week and years after Windows 11 released it still has Win8 looks ...

@marcusash Someone missed this dialog for rejuvenation :) (25H2, build 26200.8655)

You might expect that by paying for the @nytimes, you could read their articles. Instead, you get annoying "You can't read this because you seem to own multiple devices" prompts. After you jump through their hoops, they offer to let you read for an extra fee. Shameless.

womp womp

@nytimes The alternative to you not allowing me to read the articles I pay for isn't me going through an annoying revalidation process, it's instead stopping the money I send you.

@EvilMopacATX The pedo-protecting adulterer who illegally fired his staff after they reported him to the FBI for taking bribes and got impeached by his own party... ... has been caught done something dishonest?

If it had been Talarico caught voting illegally, the prevailing narrative would have been that the election is over for him The reverse should also be true for Paxton

<clutches pearls /> You're reporting that the pedo-protecting adulterer who illegally fired his staff after they reported him to the FBI for taking bribes and got impeached by his own party... ... has done something dishonest?

@dalseno_andrea @Pinperepette @_Giringirocreek I would not, generally, expect Chrome and Edge to behave differently on the same platform. You could check the NetLogs, or file a bug.

@dalseno_andrea @Pinperepette @_Giringirocreek Chromium includes a DNS stack (which supports both legacy and DoH) for several reasons. I talk about it a little here. textslashplain.com/2022/03/31/chr…

Edge on Android bypass the private DNS? I set up NextDNS, and with Chrome everything works fine, no ads.Edge, on the same website, show Google ads (ironic) NextDNS logs show blocks when using Chrome, Edge only shows valid addresses, no blocks @ericlaw

Multi-gigabyte files seem to take a long time to start in Edge 148? Here's why: textslashplain.com/2024/11/22/par…

@vultage_arts From where? Edge 148 did just turn on this feature (also available in Chrome) textslashplain.com/2024/11/22/par…

I just ran a test. I can't believe microsoft edge downloads files 3 times faster than google chrome.

Four years ago today, 19 kids and 2 teachers were murdered at a Texas elementary school. On Tuesday, right-wing primary voters will pick Ken Paxton, a pedophile-protecting adulterer impeached for fraud, arguing Cornyn suggested he would support red-flag laws. The GOP is sick.

Whatever they're doing to block the loading is reversed if you rename the file to .ZIP, extract it, and then re-ZIP the resulting content and name the ZIP with a .SAZ extension.

I would not recommend using @Telerik's Fiddler Everywhere product. It generates incompatible data.

Political evolution clearly favors shamelessness. nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/…

This is what 65%+ disapproval looks like.

SEN. @ChrisCoons: “Anybody else brave enough to say the Constitution prevents President Trump from seeking a 3rd term?” TRUMP JUDGE NOMINEES: 🦗 🦗 Yikes.

There are many ways for individual apps to raise the bar against attackers, and some non-obvious mechanisms where Windows can protect you (e.g. security software watches cross-process memory shenanigans) but ultimately the (legacy)(winning) Windows model has little isolation.

@L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N @UjlakiMarci There's a further exploration of this space here: textslashplain.com/2020/02/11/bro… Ultimately, it all boils down to a fundamental law of Windows: If you run a malicious app on your device as you, you're gonna have a bad day.

Microsoft Edge loads all your saved passwords into memory in cleartext — even when you’re not using them.
