   Enforce semantic tags? HTML is first and foremost meant for authors to get creative. Enforcing one tag over another doesn't make sense to me. Accessibility yes, but there are plenty of constraints already.

   The reason is that there are lots of webpage authors, lots of pages that use old standards and very few browser implementations. That made the browsers carry the burden of making it all work right for everyone.

   With Google coming up with most of the new stuff and having chairs in the committees, that's hardly surprising.

    Everything got better except for icon themes and the introduction of avahi, pulseaudio and systemd. Icon themes peaked with KDE3 where they had subtle animations and the Tango project which had very recognizable colorful icons. I still run

    MS-Windows ME was the reason I jumped ship to GNU+Linux. I'm honestly surprised why it's taking the rest such a long time.

    They don't do VoLTE when rooted. Their own stock ROM is on par with iPhone-level unworkable UI garbage. Apps that work on everything but not Samsung Galaxy. The only ROMs you can feasibly get on most models are limited to GSI builds. &

    If you've ever done any DTP work, you'd know why this matters. CSS not ligning things up properly is one of the worst things about it. Just a picture with a paragraph of text on the side and a button underneath was enough to ruin

    Does not compute. Calc-size? rlh? I spent ages just trying to get a single column layout work right. And browsers would still disagree on the size of a pixel.

    You're either being overly pedantic or are just refusing to acknowledge the point I'm trying to make. I'll just not bother anymore because it's a waste of time.

    Because an 8K pixel display is always 8K. So the display on a typical TV always has the same mode. That could mean your 4K@120 signal could (in theory) translate to 8K@60 internally. The data rate over HDMI would still be the same. HDMI is

    I don't think you should take responsibility for bugs. Debugging is the act of removing bugs, so programming is the act of putting them in. Free software, per license, must not come with guarantees because the legal implications of any

    Because the amount of pixels on a flat display is fixed? So 8K is always 8K and if it does 8K@120, the display is really just 120Hz, no?

    I guess that would sorta make sense if there was no upscaling involved. With upscaling, I doubt the actual display refresh rate ever hits 240Hz. They could still advertise support for it, but you'd have to use a high speed camera to te

    They follow a flowchart. Most of it involves trying to figure out if you know any friends or family nearby. I guess finding someone for comfort might make sense, but the flowchart is too obvious and makes it sound like another typical marke

    No, I just don't think such a high refresh rate accomplishes anything. Not even bragging rights. 120Hz, possibly. But 240? Are you going to introduce a telly into a slow-motion studio, on the set?

    Those overgrown webapps do indeed avoid changing the pointer. But the back button is their special place to go to town with. Businesses pay enormous amounts of money for a piece of crap that breaks the effing back button.

    This. Hijacking the pointer in the browser is also possible. There are webgl games that do it.

    I loved playing Epic Pinball and especially the music. Exactly the kind of sound I enjoy. I collected mod files on floppies as a kid. Other pinball games are bland and boring to me.

    Because it's a reference most people would get. The entire premise is that everything will be privatised, including healthcare and the police. (BTW, I doubt a Motorola heart would cost $1, but I still think that's hilarious.)
