The "digital signature" description gives the impression that the signed message is encrypted with the private key and later decrypted with the public key.
Is this how message signing works in reality? I had a different mental model.
> I hope that Pocket Casts can do for podcast clients what Firefox in the early days and Chromium now does for browsers — push the state of the art, be manically focused on user control, and grow a more decentralized and open web.
It's pretty funny to see the claim that Chromium is "manically focused on user control" and "is growing a more decentralised and open web" :-)
That bit caught my eye as well. I read it as a backhanded swipe at Mozilla, which given the news is unnecessary. But then he goes further and strokes his buds at Google with statements of questionable validity?
Why?
Why go so far as to distract from his news? Why not mention how being OSS should ideally mean improvements in sec and privacy?
it's true though isn't it? Some people keep complaining about chromium related apps, but from different browsers to electron based apps it has without a doubt pushed open source like almost nothing else, it's sort of the OS of the web.
The OS of the web crippling extensions and plugins because it hurts its ad-business is not what I would call "being focused on user-control". They're focused on control, yes, but not in our favour.
The problem is that OP used Chromium as an example of a project "focused on user control" when in fact it is actively trying to remove control from the users's hands.
I was citing extensions and Manifest v3 as an example of that, I don't care about the feature and what people can do to go around this.
It's an OS for the web, but the web is increasingly in control of the same entity that controls chromium. And chromium helped them a lot in getting that much power over the web. I don't think that qualifies as improving openness or user control.
Surprised and happy to see this! I was an avid user of the old Turntable.fm which sadly shut down. (I would love to get an invite for the new service if anyone has any ;) )
Related, there is also jqbx.fm which integrates with Spotify which is basically the same thing, can recommend.
Cypress appears to have more features dedicated specifically to making testing easier, such as a user interface and various debugging additions and integrations into various other tools.
Playwright is just an API for controlling the browser, and appears to be far more powerful in that regard.
If cypress works for you that’s great, playwright doesn’t have all of the same tools but it does excel at cross browser testing. It runs safari, Firefox, and chrome.
We’re working on plugging in playwright into a cloud service for visual testing @superadmin.so, running multiple browsers in Linux can be pretty hairy to setup.
