I had a feeling this had been discussed on HN a few times before. And I think it's pretty obvious why anyone with a social network to plug is trying to ride in on the Twitter/Elon publicity bandwaggon, this week. I looked at the

Yuu're both right. For some reason I had: about:config > javascript.options.wasm > FALSE Could be that's the default. I certainly don't remember disabling WebAssembly at any time. Photopea working fine in FF now.

Agreed. As a longtime Photoshop user, I was gobsmacked the first time I used Photopea at just how good it was. Gobsmacked even more when I found out it was all written in JS and completely running in the browser with no server backend. EDI

Again you're [deliberately?] misunderstanding me. I'm not arguing about whether or not Putin will use nuclear weapons, or whether or not he would launch a first strike. My argument is entirely about the fact that the media is repo

Again, you're making the same [deliberate?] error everyone else is making. He's threatening he'll RETALIATE accordingly if the West/NATO uses nuclear weapons against Russia. This is EXACTLY the same stated "No first

You're missing my point. Various news sources are reporting that Putin "threatened to use nuclear weapons" with the patently obvious suggestion that he was threatening a first strike and explicitly said that he would use nucl

Yay! --emojis. For those times when actually writing a word is just far too much hassle. The next stage in the human race's descent into illiteracy will be a service which translates your emojis into Neanderthal grunts.
