This is scary. I literally just had a dream last night wishing I could see the metro trains from above the ground in order to follow where the tunnels are under the buildings and all that. Wow.

I don't really use Tailwind. I enjoy my (S)CSS.

I took a look at https://daisyui.com/components/button/ and immediately I see classes that look similar to Bootstrap.

So my question is: Why build components on top of something like Tailwind instead of just regular CSS? Or are you able to customize and use Tailwind mixed in with the components? Then sure why not I guess.

Otherwise it feels like going full circle here.

Uhm hasn't this been the case since 2019-2022 or somewhere close to those years?

In Denmark we had a year to make government/public apps fully accessible and the same for websites and documents presented on websites.

We also had to create accessibility certificates and dedicated pages on the websites to prove and clarify the state of the accessibility (or lack of, together with a statement of what's being done to remedy the issues).

Are these "new" EU laws for a different sector (private?) or something else? I can't find any references in the article. I may be blind (pun intended).

I've got a couple of thoughts.

1) Why do you guys care what ads are being displayed to you?

2) Do you even allow ads to be displayed in the first place (ad blockers etc.) ?

3) Yes, we get it. Uninstall Facebook/IG/WhatsApp..., but no. Most people in the world use these, and you're still targeted without using them.

4) Why just Meta? What about Google, YouTube, Bing and many other ad providers?

5) Is this a political campaign by Warner Bros., EFF or someone else?

6) Shouldn't this stuff just be regulated instead? I'm sure the EU has some regulations at least. What about the US?

HN is always a mess when the subject contains Musk, Trump, Google, browsers or social media platforms in general.

I don't mind the slight political aspects of things, but reading a ton of hate and "I already deleted X" (pun intended) and "Just use Y other platform" (that no normal user can figure out) comments is just uninteresting and should stay on Reddit or wherever these nonproductive comments fit into.

I'd love to hear more about this case, the technical aspects and the follow-ups/investigations. Let's focus on that, no? Maybe it's just me.

I like it a lot :-) It scrolls a bit too far though. I move my fingers fast and it skips articles because of the momentum. Also when at the top, scrolling up it should maybe refresh? And it would be nice with a visual indicator that new articles are being loaded when at the bottom.

Kudos!

Don't you mean Node.js ? I don't see why you would use a full Next.js framework for just a reverse proxy.

Lua has rawget() and rawset() to bypass the magic methods, which is used a lot inside/outside the metatables (objects with magic methods) to avoid magic loops I guess.

I know your intention is to help, but please don't share your FB password (if that wasn't obvious already lol). Letting randoms log into your FB account will just have massive consequences with your friends and family thinking it's you talking to them etc.

I use Chrome. I'm a fan of the change.

The old bottom bar was annoying in different ways (taking up viewport space, disappearing when you still needed the shortcuts, downloads not being visible across windows etc.).

I like it when the Chrome team writes blog posts explaining their changes rather than just the "What's New" infobox once in a while :-)

Whether someone else did it first... Who cares. The browser is a utility. If someone else has a better way of doing things then why not bring that to your users too if it works well. Just like water, power and any other utilities.

I've only used Airbnb twice but even I read the "fine print" (aka the entire description written by the host) as I quickly learned that they mention additional fees, city/country taxes and such in the text, which isn't in the Airbnb pricing/checkout.

I'm surprised OP has used Airbnb a lot and not noticed this. It's in almost every posting lol.

I like these however why not just use pseudo-selectors instead of a named container?

  #header:stuck {}
  #nav:wrapped {}
I feel like we already have a system for states like this with :hover, :empty etc?

Or am I missing something?

It's changed for the worse :(

I had to help my grandma get her new laptop up and running for the first time, with Windows 11, and it got to the account screen and there were no hidden/vague options to skip or go local. I assume this is because they detected an internet connection.

She literally had to get an MS account which apparently didn't work because she already had one from the last laptop. MS wanted to send her a recovery code to her email... Which she couldn't access because no computer.

Oh and the amount of opt-in screens after that? 10+ screens. No joke.

It's insane. There's no way she would be able to use her new laptop if she didn't get 2 hours of help.

I'm the same as you. I like resetting and adding styles to all the base UI elements to create a unique design.

I agree to everything you commented above and would have said the same. There's a couple of issues with the font, spacing and other fundamentals.

I hope they focus and improve on search.

It's probably the worst of all email clients we've tested at work and it made my bosses switch to a paid version of Outlook. Sometimes you can't find emails when searching for a name. It's so bad.

There are other quirks and bugs too that definitely make it feel outdated, which sucks because I like it (although it is kinda old looking too as mentioned in the article hehe).

The linked post just seems odd in general.

1) I've seen s lot of leaks being ransomed by hackers and hacker groups before and this post seem a bit amateurish (terms, payment, reference to GDPR, name calling Elon etc)

2) That's not how GDPR fines work (the numbers referenced in the post regarding 400m users). The previous fines were given because of the lack of notifying the EU regulators. Not because of the size of the breach. If Twitter is only made aware of this leak now, they can send the reports now and then work on their internal investigation and no fines will be given.

Merry Christmas, HN! :-)

Time to reach out and appreciate/tell the people and connections that make you a better person.

I've noticed that people here on HN and Reddit talk bad about Social Media in general, but also forget that there's literally millions if not billions of people who have no idea who Elon Musk or Mark Z. are, but still use these social media platforms.

If I talk to my mom and asks her about Facebook; She loves it because she can message other family members with photos and stuff.

So to answer your question with my opinion, yes, social media has connected us globally and locally, even with all the issues that you and I are aware of, but most people aren't.

I like this feature.

I understand that it's not for everyone, but I also feel like people here tend to forget that GitHub is a social coding/collaboration platform as well. If you didn't like these features, why are your projects on GitHub then? Plenty of other git solutions.

I see some comments worried about this feature being abused or misused in regards to "bad contributions" however those contributions would either just be rejected, as they should, or accepted by the maintainers which means the badges worked to begin with, promoting more open-source collaboration.
