My bank disables paste as has code checking if the browser is greater than Netscape Navigator 4.

The social contract? Tf. The social contract still required attribution in almost all cases for creative work unless explicitlf stated otherwise—especially in the case of comercial products like ChatGPT—so I don’t know where this joker is getting his ideas.

Acronyms/intialism use capital letters to encode information about words. Losing that information is a mistake. SᴍᴀʟʟCᴀᴘCᴀsᴇ is now considered a best practice.

…Or I dunno try snake_case or kebab-case 🤷

Remember Firefox’s SSB that got removed before anyone knew about it since no one was using it, since it was behind a about:config flag, that users didn’t know about so they didn’t use it so Fx removed it? Weird-ass circular logic from Mozilla. I would have loved that PWA feature.

Corporations aren’t your friend. Avoid the publicly-traded ones seeking quartely profits the most. If it isn’t a massive burden, find an alternative—avoiding some is better than none.

You can write a stateless server. You can’t do stateless front-end since you have to deal with user interaction.

This is how the capitalists & oil barons will sell your government on Global Warming like: “actually it’s a good thing the world is warming”

I chose to leave after Trump got in office—& it took like two years of planning/saving. It’s had real ups & downs but overall the best major life decision I’ve made.

Kinda weird the default reader mode doesn’t have black as background options given how prevalent AMOLED screen are on mobile devices.

At least webviews don’t (yet, Google be trying) have the ability to request attestation & ban me for not using the stock, bloatware OS every device comes with. Bonus that I get to keep my data inside the browser’s sandbox; it’s the easiest way to be safe with proprietary software.

If only my bank could get the memo & make their website not suck (it legit checks for Netscape Navigator 4 in the source) so I can be at peace with microG+LineageOS in the phone space (all the banks here do it & I already switched once until my bank, slowly but inevitably ‘modernized’ their app).

Around 2010 Google, Facebook, MySpace, even OkCupid were all running on the XMPP standard protocol. The corpos were generally bad stewards not following protocol updates, implimenting features in incompatible ways, & eventually realized there was more to gain be defederating forcing folks to use their platforms & let those corporations siphon the (meta)data of messaging.

What gets me is why they saw the need to invent yet another similar protocol with XMPP still being feature rich, battle tested—as well as Matrix to a lesser extent—unless they already have their plans on how to circumvent the system & repeat this same cycle.

Tech normie also uses VS Code as a text editor sending data to Microsoft & using proprietary plugins.
