It’s not us, but some of us. One or two is enough to establish a hierarchy of acute incentives, and suddenly it starts working as if everyone was a mf’n bastard. Our last hope is genetic engineering, but for now I’d bet on just deleting the

Lasers can do eye/optics/arson damage in this power range, see the vid. It boils down to focus and distance. But for conventional plasma rifles, not sure. https://youtube.com/watch?v=iVrJUbeuG44

It is not an app or delivery service that enslaves humans. Politicians and lobbists do. Working in delivery doesn’t have to be modern day slavery with no viable escape routes for many. All an app does is limiting interaction between parties

As I said below, I had to find a new way to manage my bookmarks due to the difference in how it works in Vivaldi. Also after some search I decided to write a custom search-with extension, which surprised me with learning web-ext signing. An

How would you characterize this article? When I read it, it creates dozens of “is it / does it” questions and “how did they go from A to B” confusion. Feels like you’re getting tube fed with no chance to object easily cause the effort

My experience disagrees. You may believe so, I won’t protest. But if you wanted to know why people don’t just migrate , this is the answer.

Ad blocking on safari is obscure, I regularly see tech threads where people aren’t even aware it exists. Mobile ads blocking for default browsers was always a puzzle. This means too little market share to address. It has always been poss

Another upside is that sites can now just use these banners that Lite cannot block. We can finally block ads in our webpages and have ads! Win-win. This couldn’t be ever achieved without the truly titanic coordination efforts from google.

Google will just buy everyone and slowly suffocate the rest. The correct way is to recognize the web standard itself as an enemy and revisit it to make making browsers viable rather than a $200M enterprise in maintenance alone. Browsers and

I see that you’re confident in css. Maybe you can help me with a simple task that I struggled with recently. (There’s a mountain of these but this one is fresh.) There’s a flex-row-wrap root with grow-1 containers. Each container is a grid

Idk what gp meant, but css lacks what could be called “selector accounting”. You never know which parts affect what and whether they affect anything at all. Because instead of importing/use-ing styles or classes, it imposes styles over

This overcoming is pretty much the spirit of css, while in other gui frameworks you just do things. They don’t require imagination, just straightforward geometry. Presenting it as something cool is idk, don’t have a constructive word for th

Exactly. Css is magic, in a sense that you can’t make any sense of it. Just look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19719427 , you can “tune” collapsing margins by adjusting overflow, float or position. Yeah! Imagine

I’ve ran into almost all of this, and css is still the worst thing in the list. It’s literally the highest wtf/gfy per minute among all. Barely debuggable, inconsistent, comefrom by design, inarticulate crap.

Is it because googlers tend to forget things overnight and cannot continue in the morning? CEOs and directors sometimes demonstrate intelligence levels on par with 7B ERP-finetuned LLMs.
