I tried it a few months ago to narrate an epub in Apple Books and it was very broken in a weird way. It starts out decent but after a few pages, it starts slurring, skipping words, trailing off not finishing sentences and then goes silent.

I hate that they deliberately obscure the keyboard in all their product pictures. I couldn't see what was wrong until looking at a review. Sounds great otherwise but that's disappointingly deceptive. I wish such devices had hot-sw

Home advantage wasn't an accident for Jeff Beck, the Cambridge United manager in the '90s because he used groundsmanship as a weapon: - plough the pitch to kneecap expensive teams with running/passing games - narrow the pitch

I assume it was first as anti-scraping / anti-adblock measures but then frameworks with styled components spread it even further. Remember when the trend was "semantic class names" and folk would bikeshed the most meaningful

IANABE (not a browser engineer) On the one hand, JS DOM objects are idl generated wrappers for C++. In theory we can generate more WASM friendly wrappers. On the other, the C++ code implementing the API will be tightly coupled to the entire

With minimisers and obfuscators I don't see wasm adding to the problem. I felt something was really lost once css classes became randomised garbage on major sites. I used to be able to fix/tune a website layout to my needs but now

Good to know. Pretty sure I try disabling protections in such situations but maybe not. I returned to the last site that did it to me to try this out (on a different machine) and it didn't captcha me at all with protections on! Ugh.

Too often the only sites I find are broken in Firefox are "necessary" things like financial and medical things. I rarely see any issue with hobby and nonsense sites where "laziness" might be excusable. It's the perv

This doesn't seem to be true. Implications of Government speech are not taken lightly and I can see examples of "informal censorship" including implied threats of legal action being classed as prior restraint. Pretty moot giv
