Maybe this is the chance to finally get rid of “Java” from JavaScript. My vote goes to WebScript.

I think it’s really cool, but not sure about the button design (seams to trap germs) and placement (index finger is not where I naturally exert pressure when cutting with a kitchen knife).

Also would be nice if it can be fitted to existing blades as handle retrofit, but I understand that might not be possible to properly tune the vibrations.

I think a hosted solution is best, unless you know for sure that they’ll always have a developer willing to volunteer their time to manage their server and keep everything up to date.

The cost is peanuts compared to the hourly rate of a developer to personally manage and keep secure their website for them.

As for static site, you think a non technical person can handle a static site generator and deploying to GitHub Pages? I doubt it.

Often times it gets very expensive to cheap out on things.

Ok I guess if you are that level of paranoid - even though both Chromium and Firefox are open source and under a heck of a lot of scrutiny for security vulnerabilities - then I understand why you prefer Gemini.

I just feel the fact that it cuts it self off from the wider clearnet completely kills your audience reach, if you’re ok writing to a very small insular community then sure, but most people want their writings to be read by as many people as possible.

You can create a browser plugin that detect such tag and automatically turns off JavaScript.

You can even configure the plugin to detect if a page contains JavaScript while claiming not to be.

Instead of inventing a separate protocol, you can invent your own html meta tag that marks a website to be JavaScript-free.

This will let you create search engines that crawl and index these sites specifically.

My father pays for ChatGPT and it’s his personal consultant/assistant for everything - from troubleshooting appliance repair, to finding the correct part to buy, to guiding him step by step to track down lost luggage and drafting the email to airline asking for compensation (and got it).

It does everything for him and it gives him results.

So no, I don’t think it’s most useful for programmers, in fact I feel people who are not very techy and not good at Googling for solutions benefit the most as chatGPT (and LLM in general) will hand hold them through every problem they have in life, and is always patient and understanding.

A couple of days ago I was researching website analytics and GDPR/cookie law, and it seems clear that you need user consent even if IP addresses are only processed or temporarily stored before being discarded.

Arguing otherwise is like claiming it’s legal to steal from a store as long as you return the goods the next day - it’s legal fantasy.

I don’t think the EU is eager to go after these “ethical” analytics companies or their users, since they have bigger fish to fry. But if you think you’re legally in the clear using these solutions without user consent, you’re fooling yourself.

This is just people being lazy and asking AI to do their proverbial homework instead of using it as a teacher to help them improve.

I was handwriting HTML for a while but found that I write a lot more with an actual CMS. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what your setup is as long as it helps you write as much as possible.
