> It's status quo and no changing Not entirely true: checkout was split into switch and restore, which is something I guess.

The thumbs up was added only a few years ago. +1 is quite common in older treads.

The first thing I look for in these kinds of projects is "have the authors thought about accessibility?" In this case I found this in the pagination: <button tabindex="0" role="button" title="Next"

Or if everyone was fine with cultural heterogeneity. You just have to agree on one of these.

What about an application like vim? It should be able to access any file I pass that is explicitly opened, but not much more. That is hard to express with current tooling.

I agree that containers are easier to manage than SELinux, but still not easy enough. Linux provides many low level primitives for restricting applications and SELinux, Apparmor, Docker, Flatpak, and systemd all provide high level abstracti

I could not find the raw data anywhere. Is it really missing from the original paper ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3502222 )? I would have really liked to analyse the data myself, but this way I cannot take this

Turning an existing application into a accessible one is a huge issue, but only if it was built without accessibility in mind. That is a bit like saying "todays applications do all sorts of potentially dangerous operations and need to

Firefox has a setting "allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" (browser.display.use_document_fonts). I like how this wording considers user-defined fonts the default.

Please please please don't do this! This article doesn't even mention ARIA and the result would fail any accessibility audit. There is really no way to implement this in JS anyway because all major browsers have native date picker

> "usually it should be more like a day" is bad advice in my opinion, and a likely source of micro management. Let professionals do their work. In my team we always publish some form of status report at the end of the day. This

GDPR doesn't rule out using servers in other jurisdictions. It just rules out using servers in jurisdictions with shitty privacy laws, e.g. the US. If all countries were to adapt similar laws there wouldn't be a problem.

Classic confusion: terminals typically run as users, but the shells in them often run as root. I could imagine an attack like this: printf 'rm -rf /\n\033[%iAecho "Hello World!"\n' When executed in a terminal this l

So my understanding is that both chrome and firefox will eventually switch to manifest v3 and for the most part, this is probably a good thing. I understand that chrome also wants to remove the API that is used for ad blocking, which is bad

The downside of the enabling rule is that it has high specificity. I often have that issue with links. But if you are really strict about this and never overwrite styles anyway you do not even need to think about specificity.

Last time I heard this only affected chrome. So if you want ad blocking, just use a different browser. Kinda obvious that the browser you get from the ad company for free is not for you if you do not like ads.

That is a very broad statement. What specifically do you find terrible? Here is a list of issues I often have with JS-based alternatives that do not exist with alert/confirm/onbeforeunload: - the escape key does not close the

I am a bit sad that the release notes say nothing about encryption. PGP support was (for me) the big thing about thunderbird 78. It was a bit rough around the edges (in terms of UI and extension support) but I expected it to improve with su

I feel the exact opposite: My back twinges when I think about sitting in the same position for hours. Working with a single laptop (without external screens, mouse, or keyboard) I can switch from bed to couch to desk multiple times per day.
