Source please.

Yes. Not interested in putting them in the cloud in the slightest. 99% of what's on my desktop i don't want/need on my phone, work or whatever.

People misusing tabs for bookmarks need to get their head checked. Surely the only way you find anything is in the address bar anyway, an there they are equivalent.

Still named backwards.

So... WHOIS is now JSON over HTTP. I guess that's reasonable. But this warrants the sample application to need a gazillion crates why exactly?

It's like using Chromium or whatever clone-a-chrome is hip at the moment. That does absolutely nothing to disrupt the status quo and is very much at the whim of the upstream "owner" whether you want to see it or not.

So let me get this straight... PayloadCMS is a framework, for Next.js which is a framework for the React framework.

Yo dawg, i heard you like frameworks!

In fairness; that and the overlay is what is happening, just from C++. Props for nice oneliner none the less. :)

I was just about to go looking for something like this! I'll look so pro on the meeting tomorrow :)

When i have joined a new project, i have asked for a "safari" from one or a few senior people. Show me "the big five" of your area. Pretty simple to find time and willingness for generally, and it's been a good amount of info to digest at once.

The fault goes deeper; they say X percent less counted in percentage points of the compared thing and not the baseline. If you then have multiple rows, the uselessness becomes evident.

Is it some cultural or linguistical thing where it always has to be X amount more or less and never "Y% of"?

1-(300/160) comes out correct if rounded. I.e. 300 is 188% of 160, therefore you are making 88% less. That's not how percentages work!

Wow. Just wow. Is there really a mistake this big here?

What is it with people and not understanding percentages? "How Much Less Do Techies Get Paid Outside the Bay?" "SF Bay Area 100%" "Miami -88%" So people in Miami are paying to work? And even if it was meant to be relative to a baseline (which is not what it says!); i have a very hard time believing that they get only 12% the pay in Miami compared to SF.

Too far removed or just too technologically inept? Not only was it technologically impossible; but they keep wanting to do things to people's online life that everyone that would never fly in offline life. It's like they think technology is somehow an optional extra, or even a passing fad that doesn't deserve the same rights and safeguards.

On the one hand this makes me very happy that democracy can actually work things out (and quite well at that)... but on the other hand i'm still horrified people seriously tried to push the original proposal. Not sure what i feel summing up the two.

And just doing nothing is somehow a better solution?

The problem is Blink might just be too big for what little community exists to feasibly maintain it. If it is just a Chrome that doesn't work an select asinine sites, it isn't in a great position to catch on. And perhaps most important; the point is to have something viable before that even needs to happen.

Yes. A thousand times yes.

You misunderstand. The point is that online services now come with apps for no reason. Very few things are so local that what you say applies. Though those few definitely should be!

And as you are already on to, not all web apps are cloud. What can be on-device webpages (e.g. routers) should be.

Meanwhile most of the world hasn't used checks in 20+ years. Thank god for that. But for completeness; browsers have been able to use cameras since before smartphones. So of course it can work just the same there.

"Suspicious activity" is such a bad strawman argument, i'm not sure how to address it. "Just thought you'd want to know your money is gone, lol." Either you do N+1 factor authentication for real, or you just shouldn't bother. Browsers have had push notifications for quite some time now too... so even if it was a worthwhile feature, it doesn't need an app.

Sigh. Another of the long line of defeatist non-arguments. What is your point? Should we all just roll over and die? Writing just to be contrarian?

Many apps don't even bother with making functional webapps any longer

It seems they have gotten inside your head. If services are no longer that, but "apps", then of course people lose sight of the problem.

It always has been.

Not that it is for everyone; but i have used Sailfish OS for just about 10 years, and it has been quite fine. Any country that isn't a total sh*tshow will have accessibility regulations around that. Let the accessibility folks fight for you.

It is the one Chrome fork that sees some development. (Yes, of course the forkage was the other way). So while they do have a seat at the standards table, i can't say i see much potential (or results). They also don't offer it outside their own locked-down platform by the looks of it. I.e. they have permanently kneecapped their market-share to near-pointless levels.

That same logic says you should not vote either. If even some 10-20% of IT professionals (with salaries to match) up and leave for a less shit bank, trust me, they will care.

Then switch from these services while they are still only a few. Revenue is a language they understand. I never understood why anyone would even want a banking app though; there is nothing int can do that a website can't. The browser war can at least still be won or settled; mainstream apps are a lost cause outside the legal arena.

Edit: and by switching i don't mean going to some tinfoil grayweb nonsense. Go to their direct competitor.

To expand on your idea to compare with the "real offline life"... While anonymity should not need to be a top-priority goal in and of itself, you also don't see people running around with their id-cards taped to their foreheads for easy access.

There is one interesting force acting against that though (or it would probably already have happened). It is the simple fact that most people that are competent enough to actually implement these things also understand the problems with doing so. For the most part anyway. If we could just agree to not do that... well, what are "they" going to do?

And of course: we owe it to the web to use Firefox. The Chrome clones are only stalling; not counteracting the impending monoculture even one bit. It doesn't matter how fancy their marketing is.

Certainly not by default anyway. That would have been great though. Double-checked with ubus listen in case it had changed over the last couple of years.

In case you want to react to stuff connecting to your router via ubus:

iw event | awk '/new station/ {print $4}' | xargs -n 1 sh -c 'ubus send new_station {\"mac\":\"$1\"}' _

(Yes, this contains silly hacks to work around busybox limitations)
