A new browser with a "new engine" apparently ("that being chromium, gecko and webkit" according to one comment).

Your overall thoughts on it? The video is less than 20 minutes so far. Looks 'ight so far too, afaik. But I'm no expert.

I'm gonna use neocities, I think.

But honestly, I just want to know what people are looking for in a website and what people might want.

It's something I want to experiment with, and the first one is just that: an experiment. But later on, I aim to make more and implement more of my own more "serious" ideas.

Shoot.

Interesting...

How does a country like Vietnam or China tackle AI?

Frankly, AI might have its uses, and I've found it useful here and there, but perhaps the cons outweigh the pros...

I'm vaguely aware of what single sign on is. Though I don't use it, it seemed non-intrusive. The most you would see buttons to login through Google, Facebook etc.

Now some sites have an entire banner pestering you to sign in through your Google account. It has a big continue button that takes you to Google and the button to close is a small x in the corner. On mobile this banner takes up a third of the screen.

Why do this?

TIL about the Soviet ternary computer, Setun, after going into a rabbit hole of nanomagnetic and ternary computing.

I'm getting a hour-glass.

Much better than a regular timer when you're doing the "Pomodoro" method and have to get something done. But I also have a nice lava-lamp, which is great when you're listening to music. And a record-player for vinyl CDs. And fidget toys for my ADHD and Autism (to stim while I'm doing something).

I'll be honest: I need eitiher:

Portability

Analog

If I can't carry it or if it's not mechanical, the i don't care.

This isn't exactly Earth-shattering news but I thought it was neat and this community might enjoy it

This is what happens when you rely on American tech companies. Apple is pulling shit with Europe, the home of "civilisation", that feels like it's straight out of a stupid reality show over regulations regarding sideloading and privacy. And clowns like this will regurgigate the dumbest and the most worn-out libertarian shit in first tier media outlets.

Tbh I don't get the point behind GDPR. Is it genuinely meant to ensure privacy to some extent or is it just some form of protectionism against American tech companies?
