No. It should be made available with a permission, because not every site out there is going to offer you to download binaries. 1% of the web “”“requiring”“” this does not justify 99% of the web being able to violate that privacy.

Operating system and CPU architecture are useful for sites to serve the correct binaries when a user is downloading an application.

Barely. You could trim down the data to incredibly low granularity (“OS: Windows”, “CPU: Intel Desktop”) and you’d still get the exact same binary as 99% of the people 99% of the time, anyway.

No need to report any sort of even remotely precise value then. Just report “low” or “high”. Also it’s bold of you to assume that just because I am plugged to the wall I want to be served 400 MB of exta javascript and MPEG4 instead of one CSS file and a simple PNG.

One of the biggest reasons websites need to run JS is submitting form data to a server. Like this website.

No. Forms function quite perfectly without JS thanks to action=.

Now whether you want to get “desktop app” fancy with forms and pretend you are a “first-class desktop citizen” that’s a skill issue. But submitting form data, by itself, has not required JS since at least 1979. Maybe earlier.

They can stop telegraphing some of this information, but then the websites won’t render properly (they use this information to display the website properly),

Pretty much none of the information is necessary to ever render a site properly.

OS and CPU architecture? Ireelevant to whether you are sending a JPG or PNG background. Nearly irrelevant to whether you are using a vertical or horizontal screen (and browsers adverstise that info separately anyway, it’s even part of CSS media queries).

Accelerometer and gyroscope? The only reason that could ever be needed for rendering is if the user is moving so incredibly fast that red pixels in their screen would become green due to shifting. And in any time between 2025 and 2999, if you have someone moving that fast, you have worse problems than the site not rendering adequately.

Keyboard layout? If the rendering of a site depends on whether I’m pulsing “g” vs “j” while it loads, then that’s quite stupid anyway because that boldly assumes the app focus is on the page.

Proximity sensor? Again: absolutely useless unless rendering environment moving at incredibly superhigh speed (at which the sensor might be reading data wrong anyway).

¡Felicidades! Dos años es madurez en esta era de internet.

Shittiest post of the week in the Fedivere, up there ↑.

If you are going to be this shitty, dismissive and misinformative, you can head back to Twitter.

They literally describe their infra as “Gnome OS”. They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the “Gnome brand”. They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won’t be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and “GnomePilot”, considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.

They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.

Not a problem. If I managed a distro, I’d have already dropped Gnome back in, like, 36, in favor of MATE and XFCE anyway.

Meta: “Okay. 0.00001%”.

It could cost Meta 32 billion.

US law: “Best I can do is 15 thousand.”

Fue, no más.

Se insistió que no había que quedarse en el pasado nena, pero no, dele con estirar el chicle con una generación dorada que no sólo fue del pasado, también fue una excepción a la regla de bajo performance, una anomalía estadística, y por tanto no confiable para este tipo de proceso; dele con que el flojo regordete de Vidal; dele con traer jugadores de un club que no sabe jugar si su mafia… perdón su hinchada no está haciendo destrozos en el estadio; dele con no tener recursos, tanto humanos como técnicos, dedicados exclusivamente al proceso de la Roja.

¿Se aprenderá de la lección? Hagan sus apuestas. Yo, me quedo con que esto fue un triunfo absolute, un triunfo moral.

a decent chunk of coding is stupid boilerplate/minutia that varies

…according to a logic, which means LLMs are bad at it.

Well, the first and obvious thing to do to show that AI is bad is to show that AI is bad. If it provides that much of a low-hanging fruit for the demonstration… that just further emphasizes the point.

No thanks, if I wanted that I’d go to the CCP, Reddit, or Twitter.

A ver si entendí. El cliente ni siquiera interactuó con los sistemas del banco, ¿y el banco le está reclamando la reintegracion de los dineros que un tercero movió?

Es como si alguien pusiera una fachada falsa de un supermercado, y el supermercado real reclamara que las personas que compraron productos en el falso deben pagarle al verdader lo mismo que ya gastaron en esos productos.

Capitalistas y judíos de mierda.

Y también juez de mierda. Si yo hubiera sido juez simplemente hubiera desestimado el caso y les hubiese dicho a las partes que se junten y demanden al phisher. Es como lo obvio.

cómo gestionamos eso sin recurrir a esos agentes

Con un cuarto (o quinto) poder. Pero para eso hay que tener suficiente poder para establecerlo. Y entonces volvemos al mismo problema: que no nos gusta que alguien tenga ese poder.

You skipped like, three towns ahead and one to the right, mate. Actively defending against specific bad people in the world is not an “echo chamber”.

Your country also set up the military coup that took us out of a road of commuist or socialist progress (we even had plans for a central management with Star Trek-style bridges) and dumped us into capitalism, not to mention a wide baggage of human rights violations.

But that’s fine. Watching the current schadenfreude lightens my spirits somewhat, and if international trust in the US dollar drops low enough, I’ll be able to buy my next computer at quite the discount. Heck, might even buy two.
