Neither the "Cloudflare’s own announcement" nor the "Joost’s take" links point to the right URL, should be lower case.

As you suggested, the websites could send information about themselves and the browser then could decide locally. Then there is no data leak. Obviously not perfect, because just like how the cookie law is abused, people could abuse this system as well. But the browser passing around headers is not the solution.

Then predators can show normal content to adults, while children are redirected. I'd rather the browser didn't leak this kind of information.

Quite impressive! I’ve been looking into Turbo alternatives so it showed up on my feed the right time.

One gripe with the name though is that I’m used to uTorrent’s and uws’s use of “u” for the “µ” character. So, my first guess would be to look for uJS to find this project, not muJS.

On macOS I use Karabiner-Elements to do the exact same thing. Also, my config is only applied in terminals, everywhere else the original functionality is kept. So, I'd say it is quite flexible.

My solution to the nag screen was that I never turned off my computer, just put it to sleep, so Total Commander was always running.

Interestingly, TC was one of the few software that I considered paying for, but in the end I didn't because they asked for too much information at the time. Not long later I switched to Linux, and I couldn't use TC there.

And what's the recommendation for iOS? Because, as it turns out, the Termux app on the App Store is not the same as the one on the Play Store, just uses the same name.

How will that work with local/offline agents? They are getting better and better.

On the home page the "News article" and the "Food recipe" samples point to the same page.

Last I heard of them they filed for bankruptcy. Are they back then?

With PHP you don't even have to deploy, just edit the files on the live server, save, and it is done. :D I'm not endorsing this way of doing things though.

I've been thinking about building a robot that can use a camera to look around, use motors to go in different directions, and when it sees a human, it could also ask if they've seen John Connor, and if the person is being "difficult" then press a button to terminate them.

The interesting thing is that the three laws of robotics says that robots shouldn't harm humans, but I don't really see a way for an AI agent to understand that by "pressing a button" they actually hurt the human.

To be fair, I love that magicians can pull tricks on me even though I know it is fake.

M1 Pro here too, the page doesn't hang, but it's extremely slow to scroll on my end.

The app store lists the prices (I think it might be mandatory to have the prices there), but here you go:

- 1 Month $9.99

- 6 Month $39.99

- Ultra 3 Month $24.99

- 12 Month $19.99

MongoDB imitators? Wasn't CouchDB before MongoDB? CouchDB also stores JSON documents. They did create an imitation of the Mongo query syntax, but the document model doesn't seem to originate from Mongo, as far as I can tell.
