PSA: We're back, here's a post-mortem!
  • I can maybe see marking it as deleted in case someone wants to creat undelete functionality later. I don't agree with it, but I can see why someone would do it.

    It's just weird to still push it to the frontend.

    Same with the removed stuff. All of that should be handled on the backend and never even sent to the frontend. Sometimes the reason for deletion is something you don't want getting grabbed by someone who is bored and poking around in developer tools, like doxxing information.

    Since I don't have the time to do anything about it, though, I guess I don't have a place to complain. I have strong feelings about this stuff, but there's a limit to the number of things a single person can work on. If I were to hop on an open source project this minute, it would be helping migrate Cursorless to an LSP.

    Microsoft moving fully to the cloud, does this mean something to us?
  • If it wasn't clear from the article, that's already a thing. They can even set up your software for you. I can see how it would make managing hardware in lots of different places a lot easier.

    I really don't see any benefit to it (for users) for home use. It's certainly an easy way to make Windows a subscription service and charge you for storage. It also pretty much wipes out any data privacy on your devices.

    PSA: We're back, here's a post-mortem!
  • From what I can tell the whole point to the css class/formatting was controlling the size of the emojis. Depending on where they came from, I could see some being of random size and shape. Admins might not have the time or know-how to shrink them down, so css seems like a reasonable compromise as long as the files aren't huge.

    I'm kind of bothered that the only fix seems to be on the frontend. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to stick with Rust long enough to take a reasonable crack at figuring out how to help on the backend. Input and output sanitization should ideally be handled in both places.

    Twitter's new TikTok copycat is filled with animal cruelty videos. Elon calls content "Edgy"
  • Yup, it's easy to forget that an important use of Twitter used to be finding out what was happening when propaganda was covering it up. It's how we learned about Arab spring.

    If my life were at risk from my government, I certainly wouldn't trust Elon to keep me safe from them.
