I flagged this as undisclosed slopware being pushed as secure cryptographic engineering with no reasonable measure of human review.

I flagged this as heavily-clickbaited self-promotion.

All the best,

Just to say, I actually disagree entirely. I do not believe press releases are, almost ever, valuable. Papers are just a format (with some writing style conventions that tend to follow the given field-of-study); they may be intimidating for many, but the hacker spirit and ethos is to dive in and tackle it, and that will pay far more dividends for everyone reading it than to consume more advertising. :)

I genuinely do not understand how compose-lacking ɪᴍᴇs continue to see use—so much more of the full unicode spec is trivially available to you… even quite intuitively.

Because, like everyone else that keeps using <LLM-of-choice>, they think it can be relied upon either because they don't care enough about the work they do to actually do it, or because they have bought the marketing hype.

I flagged this post as the article is rather exclusively culture-war politics (which accurately reflects all other comments from this poster), and has nothing to do with tech or hacker culture.

[Edit:] Also, just to be clear, it's transparently prejudiced drivel that doesn't deserve the time it takes to skim the title. And yes, I read more than the title. The full article is garbage. :)

Note that this is actually one of the things Anubis does. That's what the proof-of-work system is, it just operates across the full load rather than targeted to a specific user's load. But, to the GP's point, that's the best option while allowing anonymous users.

I don't understand how it is harming anyone—unlike web designers who actively design inaccessible websites—and while I suppose I could offer a reason, I don't particularly feel the need to explain myself.

I am sorry that this seems to have struck a nerve for you. And, as I genuinely mean to convey every time, I wish you…

All the best,

While I fully understand, and try hard to refrain from making such comments, given that the actual point of this article is about stress-relief, but it leverages design patterns which are genuinely awful for accessibility and positive, consistent experiences on the web, it does actually feel topical to me.

Put another way, I do not believe this is about a “tangential” annoyance.

All the best,
