the truth must be told: Firefox is not as optimized as Chrome

what are you talking about? my desktop pc is amd fx4300. definition of old and subpar - https://i.imgur.com/WBm5Ub1.png - and i have 313 open tabs right now.

granted, that is slightly more affected by memory, before i updated from 8 to 32 gb recently, it was admittedly slightly more sluggish.

but at the same time normal people don’t really have 300 open tabs at once and also you have to ask what is the threshold where you are willing to sacrifice your privacy for slight speed increase.

do you have some numbers to support that speed difference, or is it just your feeling, or anecdote that is being passed around and everyone repeats it and everyone believes it, because everyone says so?

what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

If your keyboard was actually working, you pressed a key. If it was not working, you went to get new keyboard. What is “not thought through” about that?

Except this “routine” is word for word clone. It is more like people retelling the same political joke with only difference being the politician’s name… No one calls it new joke, or “homage”. We call it “yes, this joke was given to Moses on stone tablet” 😊

Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/

So what you’re saying is (…)

no, that is not what i am saying.

That doesn’t sound quite right to me

it would help if you stopped putting fabricated nonsense into other people’s mouths. then you wouldn’t have to wonder whether that nonsense “sounds quite right.”

And (by how I understood it) the point of the I1I1 plate was that it wasn’t easily discernible and the camera couldn’t identify it correctly

the point was it was hard to read and remember for a human. hence why the witness in the comic gives only vague description, which is what the owner of the sneaky plate hoped for, but due to its uniqueness the police knew and the plate failed to achieve its intended purpose on a spectacular level. there was no automation involved at all.

ok, but while that is wild in itself, i assume that is under the assumption of them actually being your tickets. here we talk about situation where they demand the hero pays someone else’s tickets just because of the fault of their system.

identify - maybe, prove it at the court of law - somewhere between hard and impossible.

say you have found all these “not that many” cars, and now what? you would have (may slightly depend on the local law) prove who is the driver. that may be impossible, even if you have photo of the driver and photo of the suspected owner and you “think” they match.

the car also doesn’t have to be local, whatever your threshold for what local is is.

All you’re doing is showing something in public which is perfectly legal.

no, it is not, showing something in public is often not legal, it - as is often the case - depend on the context.

It doesn’t damage the camera.

it damages the database.

then that’s on them if something bad happens. You have no control over what happens inside of their computer.

no, that is on you, because you made that clearly intentionally malicious input. it is the same as if you had used the keyboard, the input method is really not important.

do you think that if you successfully hack a bank and steal some money you will get away with the defense of “all i did was send your computer some input, sending input to computers is perfectly legal and i really don’t have any control over what is going inside it”?

that is 5 year’s old idea of how law works.

not working in two different browsers, should it?

because this is about plates and not children.

but this isn’t about plates, it is about sql injection.

but everyone would know whose fault is it the second time it happens because of how weird the plate is.

this is obviously not official plate that would be registered to his name, so they would have no idea unless they caught him red-handed.

but there’s no need to gatekeep.

well, yes, i could have phrased that differently

Highly unlikely.

And if my grandma had two wheels she would be a bicycke.

No, she would be human with two wheels. That is not what a bicycle is

What are we talking about again?

We are talking about the fact that when someone says “that is not relevant”, countering with “if some facts were different, it would suddenly be relevant” is not very useful answer.

no

So if you’re driving like an ass with the drop tables-“plate” that is pretty relevant.

the only thing they have in common is the license plate. that is like saying that every joke that starts with “three people walk into a bar” is basically the same joke.

but here, have a photo that is actually relevant to the submitted xkcd ;)

and replace pork steak with tofu chilli bowl and it is now vegetarian food. what is your point?

according to Tartaro, he says he received a notice that the California DMV would not let him renew his registration unless he actually paid some of those fines.

that sounds so illegal. but i am not an american, so what do i know.

that xkcd is… completely irrelevant to the post.
