Then I read that chat apps and YouTube would not be banned, and scoffed

Literally chat apps are social media. You can post stories and pump memes and news. You can even have bots that scrape and post content. YouTube is just a matter of checking a box whether it's "for kids" and they already do that. Basically the whole thing is stupid

Y'know, you're right & that's wild. I guess I should have known, but didn't assume that they have like 600m in unrelated investments. Though the burn rate is quite a lot too, so they probably would scale back browser dev a lot if it lost its profitability & become a pure VC kinda org

Not only does it need to do everything from memory management to job scheduling, it also has all of the UI and graphics driver complexity blended in. Usually that's a different layer that the kernel historically didn't worry about, it would be as if GTK is part of Linux, along with the programming language. Then there's shit like WebAssembly and WebGL, databases, sandboxing, permissions, user management... A Brower is like a cross platform OS built to run on another OS

The thing is it's never been more expensive and time consuming to write a browser, it's bigger scope than a kernel in many ways. Stuff like Epiphany isn't even close, despite relying on Apple's webkit. Most distros just push people to Firefox now, despite a history of KHTML and all that. We would need something like the Linux Foundation to pick it up (which runs on corporate sponsorship for a shared resource)

Yeah but in the short term the company will literally go out of business

“Don’t worry about my security because I’ve talked with somebody. I said 'if I’m killed, you’ll kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez. No joke, no joke,’” the vice president said without elaborating

I'm sorry, she said it's not a joke but, lmao

Mmm yeah imma small brain here and say it cannot be won. There are nukes on subs traveling all over the ocean. Not to mention that the environmental damage and radiation will probably fuck up the world really bad no matter what. Did you know a single nuke in orbit would emp a whole continent and destabilize climate? Great, now you do

My question is "what does this mean for the nature of empires?" — can they no longer truly fall once they enter the nuclear era? How does civil war look?

Honestly hilarious level of QQ. The election wasn't rigged. He won by almost 100 electoral college votes. He had the most popular votes, by 2.5 million people, roughly 50%. Republicans swept House, Senate, and Governors

Elections in the USA are always pretty close, that's how it works. But this victory is a complete and total one with no real room for doubt

You may not like it, but those are the facts. Don't mimic the sad boy GOP crying "election fraud" — the people voted. Yes, that means there are people in this country that disagree with you and don't trust the direction of the Democrats. You might call them brainwashed, bigoted, transphobic, or religious extremists, but they get to voice their desires anyway. Society is a push and pull between different value systems, and imagining half the country is "evil" will only cause more harm

Nothing is going to stop the transition. Buckle up, and try harder next time. Maybe the Dems will actually let a primary happen rather than choosing your leader for you

cries in his no longer useable projector mod

Lately I've been telling myself, "I am my own dream husband" — I find it so easy to pour love into a partnership and take care of a woman — but less so serving myself the same way

If I had a dream husband, he would take care of the home and himself, just as stated. He would be handsome and balanced, fit and financially capable. It feels good to find my independent masculinity in this way, alone

And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

Have you considered it? You could probably do a better job

Article is very impressive in how it gives no new info whatsoever while sounding important

Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome's epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so...

This shit was so funny, I've never seen a teeth bonk in any media, but have experienced it myself several times. I love it when writers pick up on these weird little moments in life

Can't you just go to WordPress.com, log in to their hosting, and install the plugin?

This is factually accurate by a several orders of magnitude

Hawaii for one

Well, I don't think that's how ownership works. Grandpa decides to not sell

There are certainly small towns out there in the USA and abroad which are super friendly and kind, wholesome and uplifting. Community still exists. Might be easier if you're part of their religious in group, or a hippie town

Hahaha but the very unrealistic part is that you're gonna make big piles of money farming. Then again, that's probably why you also gotta fish & risk your life in the mines & wander around stealing radishes from the woods
