Presumably because the icon will be shown on high-dpi displays (retina screens etc), no?

The problem is that such a browser wouldn't be any use to users in the short-term, because most of the web simply wouldn't "work" in it. So, I don't think it's developers that are the problem. As a web dev myse

The counter argument would be that git is the poster-child of poor UX, which could be blamed on the fact that it exposes too much of its internal data structure and general inner-workings to the user. I.e. too much focus has been put on dat

Parent is simply referring to the front-end skill of building an app with rich client-side state that isn't persisted to a backend DB.

Exactly - the innerHTML approach doesn't work for component composition and it completely fails for things like forms, where you will blow away form input focus/cursor state etc. This was a stumbling-block of the fairly simplistic

So it's not secure by default.

I think you're being downvoted because other things being insecure is not relevant or an excuse.

When you say "this is squarely a Debian issue", do you mean "in his opinion", or that you agree?

So the app is vulnerable by default, yet the author is claiming this doesn't matter, because he instructs how to run it in a safe way? Correct, or am I oversimplifying/missing something?

Very interesting optimisations, but I would not say the author "missed" these points, since this wasn't the point of their post.

There absolutely is a cookie law. The UK legislation is "PECR" [1] which sits alongside the GDPR. > PECR are the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Their full title is The Privacy and Electronic Communications (

Parent edited their comment from "can" to "can't", and I got downvoted, yikes.

This is not correct, in the UK at least. Similar technologies like LocalStorage fall under cookie law. [1] [1] https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-a...

If you're genuinely confused, I assume they missed out the word "selling" before "software".

To be fair it does perform better than everything else, which is why people are so forgiving of it, but it still doesn't excuse their ineptitude on privacy and security.

tl;dr of your comment is "I don't care about privacy, if the product works". But privacy is not about those privileged enough to where privacy doesn't matter. I don't care that you don't care. Privacy matters.

Of course, but that suggests Apple isn't smart enough to know this and hasn't sufficiently anonymised the data, which is pure speculation?

You're assuming malice over incompetence. Having heard mainly "nothing but guff" justifications for microservices in non-enormous orgs, I think (as usual, and some law I forget dictates) the latter is more likely.

You are conflating unrelated things. Using a framework like tailwind does _not_ affect whether your actual HTML elements are semantic, which is what would affect accessibility.

In the context of Tailwind though, the situation isn't really "that". Tailwind allows you to "feel" like you're just quickly prototyping, without afaict compromising maintainability at all. If you're conce

It's true insofar as VS Code is widely loved by web developers. So it "furthers my intended point".
