Tailwindcss makes using CSS easier, it’s still CSS underneath, which you can interface with directly if you want.

For medium to large applications it takes quite a bit of work to give your Qt GUI a custom style, and do it right. This isn’t something you can hand wave away.

You shouldn’t call it a hyperbole. Sometimes you have to point things out for what they are rather continue to pretend that it is normal.

This is a bad response to Apple stealing personal information from millions of people. OP is not alone when it comes to iCloud partially or completely enabling itself upon updates. The problem is that malware is perfectly legal as long as you have some EULA somewhere to cover it.

Nor the incentive. The one mentioned by OP sounds unrealistic.

Trackers will be able to gain root access by fetching the user’s local Docker API socket, and by doing so provide better personalized ads. This is really good, sign me in!

Social media and media organisations are too volatile to be entrusted with important pieces of history.

I can’t even access the tweet.

It must be sarcasm.

In reality, people don’t have the time to read up on these issues to build an opinion in the first place. The most potent media corporations that could’ve amplified this issue for the general public are effectively propaganda machines for whoever pays the most or has the biggest guns to their heads.

It’s a sad state of affairs. Most of the public are unaware that a cage is being built around them.

But those who do have some understanding about these threats, they certainly are increasingly more distrustful.

I don’t think the concern here is TLS, but rather how CloudFlare works. This is a unique problem to CloudFlare. TLS itself is not the issue.

And it will keep getting worse as long as the majority of the population lack proper core values to oppose it.

> Added to this are worsening geopolitics, the difficulty of eliminating carbon emissions and the travails of an ageing population.

Worsening geopolitics and an ageing population are more immideate problem compared to the inability to eliminate (not reduce) carbon emissions.

Or am I missing something? Can someone explain to me why ”eliminating carbon emissions” was sandwiched between the other two issues?

I have not. I will look into it later.

The issue that many people were raising is with regards to privacy (not saying your app infringes upon it in any way). If PWA deployment can ensure that the app truly stays offline, then that’s a good thing.

I personally like open source better, as it is easier to examine the inner workings of the app. It also helps tech-savvy users fix bugs and verify that it doesn’t do anything they don’t want it to do. Etc etc

Also, Electron apps can be sandboxed using Flatpaks for instance. Flatpaks aren’t perfect of course, but they do provide some guarantees. You can even use Flatpaks while keeping the source code closed.

If it’s offline, bundle it with Electron, release the source code and make the build process public!

Isn’t it possible for Cloudflare customers to turn off the captcha, or at the very least prevent infinite captchas?
