Am I the only one that wants to print on dot-matrix printers again? Maybe find a copy of The Print Shop (Broderbund). It could just be nostalgia kicking in.

This is it. Perfect.

The amount of money pouring into surveillance of all kinds (led by companies like palantir and so many others). It's surveillance capitalism without the capitalism.

People create these illusions about a system, about a country and will fight to the end to defend those illusions. The reality of what actually exists beneath the shiny (propagandized) surface is so much darker.

Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.

The USA is a rogue terror state and we're living in the aftermath of democratic collapse. Everything we see in the news is theater for the masses.

So true. I had an old Dell Latitude D620, 3GB/500GB, 1.66ghz Intel Core Duo Processor and it was sound that tripped me up. Haiku was lightning fast on this machine.

I think that eventually I might've gotten sound to work but... this was many years ago and the laptop was mostly for testing light-weight distros on modest hardware.

I think the user raises valid concerns that should be discussed.

Freenet (~2000) did something similar. They distributed and cached content across all participating nodes. Users were storing encrypted fragments of other's data. It was notorious for distributing illegal content.

I recall that at the time, users were concerned about illegal content winding up on their computers - even if they weren't directly - knowingly - downloading those resources.

As I looked a little deeper just now, I'm discovering that courts have generally been lenient on unknowing participants - that intent and knowledge do matter. It's still a legal grey area (from some basic research I just did - maybe someone else can add to this).

I would still be concerned about a corrupt agency (in some fascist environment) pressing charges or insinuating illegal activity regardless of intent.

I use a VPN which creates its own network interface and so.. the programs all run through this. Away from my home computer for a few days, unfortunately.

The word is ruling class - not elite, not special, not more important. The current ruling class is everyone tied to the epstein file, including a malignant foreign government and some members of our own intelligence agencies. Not elite!

I didn't bother to even read the article (it's behind a paywall, I don't read articles with nonsense headlines).

There is this need to separate the behavior of wealthy/powerful people vs those who are poorer/hold less powerful positions.

The behavior's the same when it comes to writing and sending messages. I've dealt with both consistently and constantly over several decades.

Thank you so much for letting me know that israel, working with the FBI to manipulate a sitting president into war was something that is not a viable submission.

You do the entire community proud...

Let's see...

* Most of the personnel involved in developing web technologies are engineers, but they also include product managers, sales, marketing, legal, customer support, and other functions.

* Given the complexity of Chrome and web technologies, the engineering teams skew towards higher levels of seniority. Assume that Staff Software Engineer is the most common engineering level represented across the web technologies teams, which is towards the more senior end of Google’s software engineering job ladder.

* The average base salary for Google employees working on web technologies is $240k and the average annual take-home pay is $500k, including salary, bonuses, and stock payments. These estimates are close to the current average base salary and take-home pay for Google Staff Software Engineers listed on industry salary data sites.

* Google has approximately 2000 staff working on web technologies.

Using the above assumptions, the estimated personnel cost for web technologies is 2000 * $596k = $1.2B. Of course there are additional costs associated with these businesses. Based on this sketch, it seems fair to assume that Google spends at least $1-2B annually on Chrome, Chromium, and the evolution of the web platform.

The US runs a trillion dollar war machine, a multi-trillion dollar military industrial complex. It needs to feed it. It needs enemies. At the very least, it needs a constant threat to justify its existence (even if it has to create those threats).

If Russia ceases to be a threat, does the US begin to hassle more countries? Does it increase the Police State, does domestic surveillance become more prevalent. Are we already seeing these things?

A legitimate Russian threat might actually be good for the world and the American people.

As an aside... I wonder how many people use VPNs among the HN crowd. I've been on a VPN so long, I feel really exposed when I'm forced to access anything without one.

Yes I have. I tried maff, mht, SingleFile and some others over the years. MAFF was actually my goto for many years because it was just a zip container. It felt future-proof for a long time until it wasn't (I needed to manually extract contents to view once the supporting extension was gone).

I seem to recall that MHT caused me a little more of a conversion problem.

It was my concern for future-proofing that eventually led me back to "Save As..".

My first choice is "Save as..." these days because I just want easy long-term access to the content. The content is always the key and picking and choosing which asset to get rid of is fairly easy with this. Sometimes it's just all the JS/trackers/ads, etc..

If "Save as..." fails, I'll try 'Reader Mode' and attempt "Save as.." again (this works pretty well on many sites). As a last resort I'll use SingleFile (which I like too - I tested it on even DOS browsers from the previous century and it passed my testing).

A locally saved SingleFile can be loaded into FF and I can always perform a "Save As..." on it if I wanted to for some reason (eg; smaller file, js-trackers, cleaner HTML, etc).
