Dutch and belgian citizens are being misled over and over again. The more you'd dig into it, the less it all makes sense.

All we get are documents with nearly everything censored except for very benign things. Only time will tell what's going on, but I doubt I'll live the day

I'm glad reader mode (in FF) fixes most of those problems.

That's because if you trade freedom for convenience, you'll end up having neither.

Linux isn't his thing. But he also didn't install GNU.

Bragging isn't the problem.

There's really no need for any finger-pointing while bragging about features.

It's exactly this kind of arrogant attitude that makes me hate everything from dbus onward.

Nope. It's the worst I've seen in a long time.

If Steve B is behind all this, at least we have him behaving like a monkey on stage.

Where I worked in the 00s, they had rack mountable kvm. The clients were just a small box with utp and the peripherals. A double press on ctrl opened a menu and you could choose a server. Neat.

Enforce semantic tags? HTML is first and foremost meant for authors to get creative. Enforcing one tag over another doesn't make sense to me. Accessibility yes, but there are plenty of constraints already.

The reason is that there are lots of webpage authors, lots of pages that use old standards and very few browser implementations. That made the browsers carry the burden of making it all work right for everyone.

With Google coming up with most of the new stuff and having chairs in the committees, that's hardly surprising.

Telegram. When I used that, everyone would get their messages except those who had a samsung because it's continuously on a background task shooting spree.

The weird thing is WhatsApp isn't affected but I'm never going to install that facebook crap. Even the mandatory work phone doesn't have it.
