After a decade of personal exuberance building SPAs, I've been heavily trending towards HTML first/only for several years now. I had to kill my excitement for Web Components in the cradle because they (until recently?) don't

They nuked my account after trying to charge an expired card three times. The customer response team was extremely quick and responsive telling me their hands were tied. Fuck Gusto.

The RPi 5 has custom silicon. Custom silicon is hard and few would accept significant a step down in raw power compared to the previous generation while the transition occurs.

Exactly. Humans didn't learn their way out of only having half a brain, more the opposite.

Even tracing it back to the origin of Homo erectus, the line would still be too blurry. I don't think "the first humans" can actually mean anything in a science-based discussion.

Because movements that get large enough get co-opted by one side or the other, filled with bad-faith actors from the other side, and filtered through an agreed-upon media narrative. AT&T did divest CNN at least, and no thanks to the US

That's absolutely true. But They have leaked real things in the past, in exactly the same way. It may be 5% or less that turn out to be true, but there's the rub. That's why no one can completely dismiss it out of hand (and

Google has been trying very hard to diversify, mostly through Cloud. How well they are succeeding at that is up to interpretation but they are chipping away at Ads' percentage of revenue. It used to be higher than 85% but as of 2022 it

It's blurry and will only get blurrier. Maybe there is no line to draw, and maybe that's OK. This all feels so new I'm hesitant to form strong feelings, but I do think transparency while not required is appreciated. With know

It's there to prevent the most obvious potential abuses. Very little in the copyright sphere is "obvious" though. Is this riff original or was it stolen? Etc.

You cannot, last I checked. JavaScript is required for Web Components and lack of SSR support is the only reason I moved away from them.

RCS E2EE and Group E2EE are live which makes this a less dangerous attack surface / a less useful ad data reservoir. Google Voice users like myself are SOL but I've never had pretenses that my messages there are private. They&#x27

I love Gnome, Fedora's been along for the ride but it's been an excellent distribution in my book. Glad I decided against Elementary (it was right before that project imploded).

Fuchsia isn't dead (yet). They just completed their rollout across the entire Nest Hub line. Only 16% of the team were impacted by the (reported) layoffs, which still leaves the other 84% working on something.
