If you want a government document more recent that can help with communications against a fascist government I recommend The Homing Pigeon, War Department January 1945.

The security holes are feature. They can blame them on AI and still allow friends of Trumps to take all the info they need without Trump having to deliver it himself.

Oh the author is here. Thank you for the article.
Here are some of my thoughts of some of your points as professional web developer for startups to some of the biggest companies in the world.
Your first point of developers getting dependent on a framework or library doesn’t really matter. Look at the average developer’s resume with 6 years of experience. They have a lot of things listed because this is what the culture is. We have to learn or miss the opportunity working for a company that uses React rather than Angular.
Besides a professional setting, learning the new hip thing and talking about why it sucks, is programming culture and human nature.
I think this topic can be its own article especially since any contribution to open source even if it from corpos, is not bad to me but moving on.
what I am going to write next is what good web architects do. I am not saying they all do this.
Web architects look at stats of their current users or target users. They have to find a balance of server performance and user experience. Some even have a list of old devices just to test out the results to make a decision on what devices should be excluded.
You showed a video of old tech using the internet now. Some of those devices are less powerful than Raspberry Pis now. Those devices aren’t even meant to handle a flat high res image. Also this is rare. Should a company spend thousand of dollars for every unique User Agent they get? No, especially since those are easily spoofed.
You are right about some sites slowing down because of JS but a lot of those, like on your own website which uses a lot of Google code, use code to stream a video in tiny bits. It makes the experience of the user a lot better. It takes a lot of logic to predict how many chunks video a user will use at a given time. I definitely wouldn’t wait for a 50 mb video to stutter and load on website.
Other examples like infinite scrolling aka doom scrolling. Social media use lazy loading for images an videos. Try shoving hundreds videos and high res images with sound on a page. It would be horrendous for the user. People would log off. Say what you want about doom scrolling, but it does its job keeping users on the page.
If you want to blame Javascript, you should also blame browsers since they run the code. Firefox is at version 135. Version 1 was less than 9 mb. Version 25 is at 45 mb. Version 50 is at 82 mb. Version 100 is at 121 mb. Version 135 is at 151 mb. You want to look at slow downs, make sure you have enough RAM is run the apps you are using.
I enjoy this topic and would enjoy what you think about what I wrote. Again, than you for posting.

This is a huge deal.
More people should be fighting this.
Giving this much power to corporations isn’t right.
If all else, copyright owners of any media should have the same power so they can effective end AI from stealing their content.

What is an “actual target hardware platform”?
I don’t exactly know what you mean but here is the OS and CPU they use.
- Operating System: Linux 5.10 with Buildroot

Are you looking for the reference manual?

I hope the scene learns from this. Use a VPN, have a completely different identity. Use a different browser, use a different handle, and don’t use any persobal info. If you are taking donations, use crypto.

Thank you for bringing that brand to my attention.
- Comment on Apple teases “week of announcements” about the Mac starting on Monday 3 months ago:
They should slow down the major releases. No one is buying a Mac for new OS features. They are buying Macs for the processor, name brand, ease of use, compatibility, and/or they need it to develope software for Apple products.
I don’t know of anyone talking about how the new widget system works with the desktop and the quick sidebar now. Or how they have new video backgrounds. Or how they made thr login screen icons smaller for no reason.

I mean, it can be used as a toilet paper receptacle. Just because you didn’t buy it, doesn’t mean you can’t review it. People review and return stuff all the time. I do not see anything wrong here.

Yeah, seems like this is what some people are using. They said you can use Tasker to run it in the background.
So is this the same as installing on the desktop? Run the service and then http to home?
