This wouldn't address building an actual E2EE service. This is a hard issue. CryptPad [1] does this but it has strong limitations inherent to a fully E2EE system. (disclaimer: I work for the company which develop CryptPad, but I don&#x

That's totally something you should consider, even if you decide for running the tor node anyway in the end.

As a child, I think I would have been annoyed by such a presentation. There are science magazines for children that can explain pretty complex stuff just fine. It's also critical not to leave out the ethical topics (resource consumptio

And now your customers are required to agree to Meta's term of services and to run some black box software, and you are screwed if Meta decides your business or your customers need to be kicked out.

I refuse to use proprietary software as much as I can, especially when it has a strong network effect where it encourages others to join. Meta is also a despicable company, they don't need my help to succeed. (edit: and I haven't

Oh yes, this is "HTML, the programming language", not HTML (also called "HTML, the markup language" in that page). And it's brilliant :-)

Yeah, we can find quotes from various articles on the web and I did between writing my comment and my edit (I was on the phone, I didn't bother citing them here). Wikipedia articles should source everything indeed, it's not that i

I, and most of us, mean a language in which one can express a computer program, which is a set of instructions for a computer to execute. You don't execute an HTML file, you display it, render it. You can't implement fizz buzz in

Hilarious. To fix this, one would have needed to put an open parenthesis in a sibling comment and hope to get upvoted more than the comment with the closing parent.

Reasons for not putting the slash in HTML: - since the slash doesn't have any meaning in HTML, if you don't quote your attributes, you are at risk that your slash is attached to the value or your unquoted attribute: <br class=m

At this point, closing slashes for void elements is coding style, exactly like white space we use for indentation. You can't be right because this is in opinion territory. Exactly like whether one should put semicolons or not in JavaSc

HTML is perfectly able to do what it was designed for: mark up documents . There still needs to be something like HTML even when you have PHP: PHP is something you run on the server and it still needs to output something to the client in s

I'm conflicted on this. I mostly agree with the sentiment, I'd rather have simple parsers and sensible specs, but I'm also happy they do whatever it takes not to break anything (well, they are breaking XSLT…)

Let's just say that I don't think the truths you are pushing are as absolute as you seem to think, and I think they are a reflect of how you view the world more than anything. And that by correcting people that mention HTML5, you
