Serious question: what can html, js and css do today that they couldn't 10 or even 15 years ago, at least for the user? I think the only cool, new, user-friendly innovation I have seen in that timeframe is passkeys. Granted, I don't run across random sites like I used to.

I think it's easy to recognize this problem, but a lot harder to solve it.

Developing a modern browser is a ridiculous amount of work. Too much to be developed out of free time of volunteers. Which comes back to open source competitors that have perennial problems with funding or direction and commercial competitors facing a huge barrier to entry against multi-billion dollar giants. (Noting that several of those giants even have had rulings against them for abusing their monopoly position.)

Lawmakers in Tehran discussed a plan last week which could target submarine cables linking Arab countries to Europe and Asia.

We abandon the boring things that work in favor for the new exciting crap that doesn't.

Between the rise of emoji culture and Orange45's dismantling of education, it's not surprising Cathay will soon surpass MAGA's Red AmeriKKKa.

First of all, I can get garbage from Gemini just fine (although it is a very useful tool if you are aware of the limitations). I've never used copilot, but I am pretty sure it is not deterministic. AFAIK all such models are probabilistic, and since they use randomness for generation, you can also call them stochastic, but definitely not deterministic. I don't know if I am missing something about copilot in particular, so correct me if I am wrong, but it does sound like a garbage post ;)

I have a Kindle from 2015. In one of the 'recent' updates â" I think it was released a year or two ago â" they made it impossible to read imported ebooks.

You connect the Kindle to a PC, copy ePub files and then disconnect it. The files (books) are there. Check the reader a few hours later and all the books will have vanished. If you attach the reader again, the files are deleted. Fuck you, Amazon!

Does that apply to classified documents?
