or do these KF people do doxing on sorts on other sites and use KF as a central place to coordinate attacks?
Yep. KF is their harassment HQ where they share information about individuals they don't approve of. It's creepy.
between two internet mobs headed by two unsavoury individuals
This is a bit too much "both sides are bad" for me. Fact is that Kiwi Farms is a horrible website where people harass others, share information about them, and drive them to suicide. That's pretty bad on its own.
Most densely populated country in Europe has solar parks for fuck sake.
I don't know how much is from solar parks? About 20% of all houses in the Netherlands have solar panels according to some sources so that adds up.
Remember (P)NaCl? Or WebSQL? Google has a bad reputation for pushing poorly designed web "standards".
Thanks to Mozilla we then got asm.js, wich evolved into Wasm and ultimately replaced NaCl.
Now imagine there was one engine and Google could implement whatever they wanted? RIP privacy and well-designed standards.
It's true though. You see something similar with the address bar: Chrome's is pretty horrible for accessing history or bookmarks, it instead tries to push you to do a search. Firefox has much richer information here.
From Wikipedia:
Today, FreeBSD is used by many IT companies such as IBM, Nokia, Juniper Networks, and NetApp to build their products.[16][17] Certain parts of Apple's Mac OS X operating system are based on FreeBSD.[18] Both the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch operating system also borrow certain components from FreeBSD,[7][8] while the PlayStation 4 operating system is derived from FreeBSD 9.[19] Netflix,[20] WhatsApp,[21] and FlightAware[22] are also examples of large, successful and heavily network-oriented companies which are running FreeBSD.
This is why I love (WebAuthn) security keys: it's completely separate from your phone (and easy to register a second/third key as backup for in a safe location) so you eliminate this whole class of issues.
So the students learn to use these "free" services and then later pay with their data for their personal accounts? Even worse if you ask me.
Even if that's true, do we really want our children to grow up with (and get used to) these services that are usually "free" for personal use but paid for by tracking people across the internet, separate division or not?
Please no, if you need to add so much complexity just to work around problems with glass stairs, it's better to just go with boring normal stairs.
Twitter also supports WebAuthn security keys as 2FA, much stronger than SMS/TOTP.
To be honest I only notice that with movies. Books are fine, TV show episodes are usually fine, but long movies I can have a hard time concentrating on. Maybe because I can easily change my reading speed to keep my mind occupied.
It's too bad these Chromium "specs" tend to be pretty low quality and rushed. They're then never changed because "too bad, we shipped it already, can't break the web!" See the garbage they tried to push in the form of NaCl, WebSQL, etc.
Thanks. At some point Twitter itself didn't let you read threads without logging in, but it looks like they changed that...

A lot of speculation still, but it's not all bad so far.
Indeed. Also, using the generic web.dev domain to market Chrome reminds me a lot of Project NERA.
Brave and Edge are better than Chrome if you care about privacy, but 99% of the code base is still controlled by Google and they don't really have a voice in standards committees. To support the open web it's much better to have engine diversity too.
