Readit NewsDo security researchers really contact people willy-nilly and ask them to confirm their passwords? Then they lecture us about the dangers of social engineering?
In fact, they're doing the honorable thing and not simply trying the credentials to see if they work.

Basically, something along the lines of (paraphrasing) 'this can be done today by using existing tooling'
Get rid of compulsory schooling and leave it open to all who want it. The animals will leave on their own.
Do you not believe that this would lead to further bad outcomes? Children need something to do during the day, and with neither the ability to work, nor other obligations (not to mention their brains are not fully developed) it seems like they would end up far worse off than they would otherwise, even if the school was under-performing.
I was doing a11y work for an application a few months back and got interested into the question of desktop screen sizes. I see all these ads for 4k and bigger monitors but they don't show up here

And on the steam hardware survey I am seeing a little more than 5% with a big screen.
Myself I am swimming in old monitors and TV to the point where I am going to start putting Pepper's ghost machines in my windows. I think I want to buy a new TV, but I get a free old TV. I pick up monitors that are in the hallway and people are tripping on them and I take them home. Hypothetically I want a state-of-the-art monitor with HDR and wide gamut and all that but the way things are going I might never buy a TV or monitor again.
If the above-linked website uses data reported by the browser, I wonder how this scenario might be taken into consideration (or even if such a thing is possible)
While I also appreciate tools that don't send data, I don't like the normalization of teaching people to paste (potentially) private data into a browser while blindly trusting that it's not being offloaded to some server somewhere.
At least they left SSB
Google seems much too sure of itself making this change. I hope their arrogance pays off just the same as Microsoft's did with IE.
Nothing stops us from doing the same thing again. I've been recommending Firefox to all my family/friends/colleagues for years (ever since I've seen the writing on the wall for Chrome). While Firefox isn't perfect, it's in a much better place than Chrome is, and meets the the needs of nearly 100% of people.
It is disingenuous to suggest that any group of people unilaterally agree on a diverse collection of topics.
