  • RSS feeds are beginning to break once xslt support begins being dropped by browsers soon

    Jump

  • It's not zero effort at all. For XML(which RSS is) with xlst it is serving only 2 static files. The XML file with a reference to the xlst file, and the xlst file.

    The XML can be read without transformation by tools like RSS readers, but displayed with transformation into HTML for viewing in a browser with the xlst.

    You're saying it is easy to polyfill, but involving JavaScript at all completely breaks the (useful) paradigm

  • Why does the US put so much emphasis on high school and also nostalgia for high school?

    Jump

  • If you mean why is it so prevalent in media, it is because it is the last experience that almost everyone had in common so it is a touchstone

  • Fish Shell 4.6 Brings Better Emoji Handling, Bash Compatibility

  • Dash isn't bash compatible. It's strictly a posix shell

  • Chrome's team argues that because only about 0.02% of page loads use XSLT, it's not worth the maintenance burden.

    Surely given the volume of browser usage, 0.02% is still a very substantial amount of usage. Lazy fucks

  • Pentagon waits for Trump’s approval after planning ‘weeks of ground operations’ in Iran, report says

    Jump

  • Not supporting a ground operation in the middle east is the one thing the vast majority of the US agrees on

  • People who are complaining a lot about college students using AI to cheat don't understand how much fraud was going on colleges and in science in general before AI

    Jump

  • At least the previous cheating took effort. In all seriousness though, university was originally a system where a class was basically a book club directed by an expert. You went to class, discussed the reading, found out what to read for next time.

    • going back to this format, plus tests that you take in class, with no grading of homework which was always stupid in the first place, would solve all the problems with cheating. It is also a better format for learning. Having lectures where students face to take notes in real time to have the material for the tests when it could just be in a book is absurd and massively inefficient
      • but you'd have to have enough professors
      • and professors would have to stop reusing tests

  • Is it true that the education system is crap in America?

    Jump

  • Quality is highly variable by region, and within region by wealth of the area for public schools. Then, there are also private schools in the mix for even deeper opt-in segregation by wealth

  • Why are the right-wingers I know so for free speech if they’re just gonna be against free speech when it’s something they don’t like?

    Jump

  • My guess is you think consequences are only things the government does? But OP going no contact with their Grandpa because he's an asshole would also be a consequence. "Free speech" in the US sense refers to the first amendment of US constitution which only says what the government is allowed to do.

    It's not a philosophical position that anyone holds with any seriousness in the manner of OPs gramps, because like OPs gramps, they mean they should be able to say whatever they want and people stand there and take it, but he's going to throw a tantrum if anyone says things he disagrees with.

  • What is the most overrated video game of all time?

    Jump

  • There are only 5 games in that category of Zelda game in the first place.

    • ocarina of time
    • majora's mask
    • windwaker
    • twilight princess
    • skyward sword

    Breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are totally different formula and the rest are not 3d.

    For me it kind of goes windwaker -> oot/majora/skyward -> twilight. So I'd say it's up there, and the fact it's so foundational should give it some extra points. I'm amazed they haven't done a remake to up the graphics and give it modern controls tbh

  • I feel this way about all open world/map slop. I liked the first couple i played but after the novelty wears off it's an entire genre that sacrifices focus for a lot of lower quality content

    1. The concept of free speech is that the government is not supposed to suppress it, not that anyone should be allowed to say whatever they want to anyone with no consequences
    2. For people like your gramps, words are weapons. They don't care if they are logically or ideologically consistent. They make all their decisions purely on emotion, and they've learned that "free speech" is a magic spell that sometimes gives them an edge. You can't treat them like honest interlocutors.

  • I am not paying American war taxes this year. Will you join me?

    Jump

  • Even the ones that voted for the criminal believed him when he lied about not wanting war

  • I am not paying American war taxes this year. Will you join me?

    Jump

  • For most in the US, estimated tax is collected from your employer before you control the money and filing is just to adjust the difference between estimated and due. So most people can't withhold tax because of the system

  • As if any @firefox fork, including @librewolf, has the ability to even maintain the Gecko engine - let’s all switch to forks or Chromium and see the dying days of adblock.

    I'm addition to that, mozilla participates in the standards committees. It is important that they do, and I'm not aware of a single entity that could substitute for them.

  • , the “last privacy-respecting browser” now nags you with in-browser pop-ups to let AI generate “key points” when you long-press links.

    Jump

  • What nag are you talking about?

    1. I haven't seen any sort of nag that occurs before activating a link preview
    2. After activating a link preview there is a cog button that takes you directly to the settings where you can disable link previews entirely, in case you used it by accident or tried and decided you didn't like it.
    3. The key points part of the UI has a toggle to hide it, and it stays hidden for every subsequent link preview, even through restarts of the browser.

  • No. They are not disabled by default, but none of them run in the background. You would know if you were using them.

    Jump

  • I agree with not wanting link previews, but there is some misinformation here:

    when you hover over links

    It is a 1 second hold or a context menu option.

    is sending page content to ML models

    Unless you've specifically enabled the key points feature, it just shows the open graph tag content (https://ogp.me/). This is also what is used to display a card when you put a link in a chat app.

    If you do enable the key points feature, it is not sending page content over the network like you imply.

    It uses a local model and it doesn't even download that model until the first time you ask for the key points.

    I encourage you to keep complaining about things you would like you be different, but you should really keep your complaints factual, because you weaken your points when you mix them with misinformation.
