I think Mighty is a reasonable hotfix on the face of it. Having said that, if the question is "How do we make the web less slow", the actual solution must be reducing inefficiencies in the web apps themselves. Mighty seems like th

I'm making a silly, unfair comparison to be sure. It's just an interesting line of thought, not necessarily a credible one ;) I can imagine that the first time such policies came up could have come from security or legal teams dis

Hi Jeff, While I don't like ads, and so by association I blindly don't like FLoC or cookies, I've been following your comments via RSS out of interest and I'd like to say thanks for always popping up in these threads to

Twitter is a platform for amplifying messages to be sure. We can see this fairly plainly when considering that both the @ symbol and hashtag were created by the community as hacks for features that didn't exist natively. I once met one
