I would be. The Gemini devs would insist that nothing should be supported that doesn't work on an 80 char terminal with only the ascii charset.

It wasn't "because he was a conservative". It was because he was funding a campaign to limit peoples rights and and everyone / every website was running a campaign to tell users to get off Firefox if they want to stop funding this. It would have destroyed Mozilla if they did nothing.

Gemini throws out way way too much. Inline links and image support for one. It feels like someone wants to have everything exactly as it was in the 80s.

They claim to stop feature creep by not including any kind of optional data support like headers and the spec team will reject any feature additions.

While I would be happy to have HTML/CSS exactly as it is and replace JS with a minimal WASM implementation that lets the website bring whatever tools it wants rather than relying on 1 billion JS apis.

You don't even have to swap to water. Sugar free drinks are extremely good replacements for full sugar drinks.

I think the iphone pro will still have a port and likely usb c. They are pushing it as a film making product now and no one wants to copy 50GB + of video over wifi when you could just plug it in.

Apple is stuck in this crappy half way situation where the MacBook and iPad are USB-C while the iphone and accessories are lightning. Clearly the iPad and Macbook will not switch to lightning so the only way to standardize is to move the rest to usb-c.

USB-C ports have a tongue in the device end which can be damaged. Seen some nintento switch repairs and most of the time its the usb c port thats broken. The iphone in comparison seems to have less going on in the port. It does have the port gripper bits inside the port but I have 7 year old devices that still grip the cable just fine.

Is it any better for site tracking to have 1000 users show as the same v4 address or have 1000 users jump around the same v6b block?

The prices in Australia are based on forecasted demand. Since there is almost a 100% chance that the population of tomorrow will be greater than today, that means you can buy on higher prices than current demand. Unfortunately that means houses can be considered worth almost infinite dollars since the population will keep going up.

Not really because this is being proposed as a solution to solve people using fake photos on dating apps which means it has to work on every single consumer device to actually work.

The salt would leach in to the ground, killing any plant life in the area for a very very long time.

So now we are essentially bricking the devices of real users? Without doing anything meaningful to real attackers who just grab the next key out of their list of 10 million stolen from insecure androids.

HN would have you believe the whole frontend scene is totally replaced every month. At our company we started using React about 3 years ago and React is still the industry standard today and likely will be 3 years in the future.
