Same as with NFC credit cards and similar auth mechanisms. You need hardware and OS-backed encryption that is tamper-proof.

I enabled hiding my posts because I kept getting harrassed and even doxxed.

EU's ZKP implementation provides complete anonymity and untrackability:

It'll come back again once ZKPs become standardized and become baked into devices:

I personally can't wait for a mechanism to kill 99% of bot traffic.

Absolutely the same thing here. It's why we went with a Galaxy tab, even though the iPad would have been a better fit (sheet music + MIDI)

No, it's code for "a company giving a platform for disinformation gobbled up by billions of people should be held accountable".

I have "—" bound to AltGR/right option + "-" for a decade now and I don't intend to stop using it.

I will not allow my good practices to get co-opted as AI "smoke tests".

If it's media, it should be regulated like media.

Luckily, the EU is tackling the most impactful feature — the infinite scroll "slot machine".

Not everything can be represented by textured meshes used in traditional photogrammetry (think Google Street View)

This includes sparse areas like fences, vegetation and the likes, but more importantly any material properties like reflections, specularity, opacity, etc.

Here's a few great examples: https://superspl.at/view?id=cf6ac78e

It's criminally bad. You can't copy logged variables. You can't inspect worker threads (!?). WASM support is practically non-existant. You can't even do a heap snapshot on demand, something that should be a basic feature.

The timelines view is practically obfuscated with pretty graphs that show some aggregated data and some automatically generated snapshot points where the dev tools decide that are meaningful.

Inspecting the rendering pipeline is impossible. You can't see memory usage, compositing reasons, long frames (you kinda can but it's tricky)...

Not even going into remote debugging for iOS which crashes either the dev tools or Safari on iOS in any non-trivial scenario — the exact ones you need a debugger for.

Steam has DPI scaling issues on Windows as well, especially on multimonitor setups.
