Google looks. Google reports. Even if you did nothing wrong you’re guilty until you prove innocent and even then you’ll never get your account back.
Well luckily the article addresses this point in the very third sentence!
“The CCA [Cost Cap Administration] confirms that although Alpine Racing SAS and HRC [Honda Racing Corporation] have both been found to be in procedural breach, neither have exceeded the cost cap level,” the FIA said in a statement.
They didn’t breach the cost cap.
Yeah as a sysadmin I’d also like to ensure casual readers note that windows 11 22h2 is EOL in Ends in 4 weeks (08 Oct 2024).

Please don’t run windows without security patches. Every month there’s about 4 active exploited zero day security vulnerabilities finally getting their patch. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-september-2024-patch-tuesday-fixes-4-zero-days-79-flaws/
Each month past end of security patch releases just grows your exposure. On Windows and Linux alike.
Coming in Windows 11 24h2 is live patch, Microsoft’s catch up to Linux (a decade late).
They seem like fully conflicting ideals. Sometimes technology is not the answer. Sometimes non technical controls are.
Besides, by the time the control for instagram is in, nobody will be using it under 30. My partner just told me “instagram really is our parents platform” while showing my mum’s friend started following her. My mum and her friend are both 70.
Applying it further gives all kinds of bad vibes where platforms need to check your ID like a Brisbane night club, except these aren’t Australian businesses. Tiktok forced to comply, if they did, validating that you’re 18 via a digital license that the governnent authenticates Tiktok requested your details and now knows you went via link ‘clickforabortioncontrol.track.tiktok.com’ since they’ll need to reply back to that url ‘yeah they are 14+ bro’ before you get in.
What a distopia.
BTW I’ve got a link for you for how ID got complicated that I configure: https://stack-auth.com/blog/oauth-from-first-principles this explains how to securely without leaking or impersonation, authenticate a user from a central federated identity management (like an online ID would need).
There are smart people, sure. But I’ll tell you it won’t be the first try, or the second that’s correct.
Security is so complex that the smartest people often fail. Odds are stacked, privacy needs security. Failure in security results in privacy being lost.
Anyway I’m in agreement that it’s a horrible world out there with real harm. But mandating less privacy is unlikely to result in a better place, in fact it’s almost guaranteed to be worse and create more harm.
Today’s justification for digital identity and state tracking of your browser history: “Think of the children!”.

The responses needs to be contain representation at least equally to non Firefox people who no longer care to answer a poll about a product that they don’t use. Why? Only current users are going to answer the poll, not the people with the cuts and pain that forced them back to Chrome or safari. Asking survivors how to reinforce survival actually doesn’t solve for why do many people off board Firefox.
Frankly you should ask people like my 60-70yo parents why chrome not Firefox. You’ll learn more from that than the corrected responses of people who loudly have preferences but at the end of the day would stay either way. My parents tried Firefox, but then left it. Although they only tried from insistence from their son.
PS: I agree with the poll. I don’t want a chat bot either. If I did, I’d install a plugin that integrates once of my own choosing. Given the availability, privacy, and ease of lmstudio I’d rather leave it in its own place outside the browser and network. I don’t know how those like my parents feel about a bot that can probably answer their questions. I also doubt they care. Maybe it would help them ask questions they’re too embarrassed to ask friends and family for. Usually how to questions they’ve asked dozens of times. But that’s super dangerous.
I spent like 20 minutes self hosting and running over tailscale so traffic is always private… Never had an issue. I’ve got over 20 devices accessible on it.
Easy to remote register over ssh just by sending the installer plus running with server name plus key, then setting a static password.
I still think gaming wide moonlight is great though. You won’t really regret that.
