Computer says no, but worse.

Need an updated version of the skit. Oohhhh Claude says no....

Linux isn't his thing. But he also didn't install GNU.

It's a funny video but his stance is quite principled, as he refuses to use any non-free software even if it's horribly inconvenient. Which is the exact opposite of what we have here.

That's because if you trade freedom for convenience, you'll end up having neither.

It's exactly this kind of arrogant attitude that makes me hate everything from dbus onward.

what is arrogant? that some features matter to some users? or that developers that work for free have things that matter to them in trying to develop better code?

There's really no need for any finger-pointing while bragging about features.

It's not bragging - the commenter stated that Wayland has no advantage, which isn't true. It has many features which just are not possible in X. Many of these features are par for the course on Windows and MacOS. They do matter to some people, but not all of course.

It has no fundamental architectural advantages. That some newer features are now only implemented on Wayland makes the situation worse.

Bragging isn't the problem.

Nope. It's the worst I've seen in a long time.

The author has since changed it, but seems to have made it even smaller, for some reason? Guess I'll just crank my zoom up to 150%...

I'm glad reader mode (in FF) fixes most of those problems.

If Steve B is behind all this, at least we have him behaving like a monkey on stage.

Where I worked in the 00s, they had rack mountable kvm. The clients were just a small box with utp and the peripherals. A double press on ctrl opened a menu and you could choose a server. Neat.

it was embedded/client land for embedded systems that were connected to tvs (had one of those on my desk too). i had a primary windows dev box for wrs tornado and e-mail and then a linux box for ci dev and build/release infra. the kvm also allowed me to switch to whatever engineering sample hw i had on my desk. fun times!

It's the developers of Carmageddon.

Stainless and Stainless Games seem to be 2 unrelated companies.

Enforce semantic tags? HTML is first and foremost meant for authors to get creative. Enforcing one tag over another doesn't make sense to me. Accessibility yes, but there are plenty of constraints already.

The reason is that there are lots of webpage authors, lots of pages that use old standards and very few browser implementations. That made the browsers carry the burden of making it all work right for everyone.

Case in point: the keygen element.
