Why is it important that the wood decomposes before you die?

Seems like it would be easy to fix this situation even without changing the law.

- Forbid browsers from sending the DNT header automatically. They may ask the user. - Consider the DNT header valid consent or withdrawal of consent. - Forbid websites from asking for consent if the header is set.

But the "tea" one, which the parent comment mentions, is described as originating in the 90s. So it's not really a valid example.

I think people who are using "literally" as emphasis instead of really meaning "in a literal sense" are criticized too much. It's just how language evolves.

But saying "literally by definition" for something that has nothing to do with the definition doesn't feel like emphasis, it feels like lying.

If there was a car with those features and someone sold it to me without talking about them, I would be pretty angry.

I think you're shooting the messenger here.

I understood this as a showcase of the features that PWAs can use, and I think it does a pretty good job at that.

Do I understand your second point correctly? The feature demo is failing at being a feature demo because it demoes some features that you don't like?

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm confused.

Do they lose their trademark if it gets used generically, or if they don't try to prevent that? Because common sense would imply the former, but then this video would just be a big admission that they already lost, no?

No. There are leaves that aren't heads (for example, after you delete a branch, the old commits just lie around until someone deliberately cleans them up), and there are heads that arent' leaves (for example if you branch a new feature branch from main. The feature branch brances off of main, so main is not a leaf anymore)

The website exists since 2013, and it seems like they managed just fine.
