Defaults matter. I've had my screenrc with a status line but I still ended up preferring tmux in the end, because not needing a config file was a small but pleasant advantage when working with different machines. I also didn't lik

Some things are set in motion. But it's not clear if we have reached a state yet, where climate change will reinforce itself indefinitely. Staying below 1.5 degrees global warming is very unlikely at this point. But every tenth of a de

It might be that there is no built-in functionality for some things in pure HTML. But most of the time, standard HTML tags provide all the functionality you need, even for web applications. And this benefits people with disabilities.

What is "remote passkey support"? I am familiar with passkeys (both resident and non-resident). But I haven't heard of remote passkeys yet.

I really wish for a language setting that says: If the original text is in one of the following languages, use the original text. I might not be equally fluent in all of those languages, but reading the original text is better than reading

Did C# really catch on on other platforms? C# was somewhat popular on Linux with Gnome for a while but my impression is that this has completely died down. While it is technically possible to use C# on Linux and MacOS, it doesn't seem

I understand that JavaScript needs to maintain backwards compatibility, but the syntax [Symbol.dispose]() is very weird in my eyes. This looks like an array which is called like a function and the array contains a method-handle. What is thi

Because the browser knows the internet domain that the login/registration is for. And the browser also provides the JavaScript API to talk to the authenticator (navigator.credentials.create and navigator.credentials.get).

I wonder which authenticator was used in this case (YouTube app). Was it an authenticator that was part of the OS or something else?

The visitor can import the self-signed certificate, so that it becomes trusted and after that MITM won't be possible without certificate errors. However, this won't help if the certificate is already forged the first time the visi
