That just sounds like a browser bug though. Client side code shouldn't try to work around it, the website should just notify all users that Chrome is broken and won't play audio properly

I think it's because it's an apples to oranges comparison. I'm guessing you installed Linux yourself on your PCs, instead of it coming pre-installed. Whereas for Mac OS, you can only get it on devices pre-installed, so naturally all hardware functions like sleep will work perfectly. I'm guessing if you buy a laptop from those distributors with Linux pre-installed, you will also get great hardware support

I'd like to see a comparison between, say, how many people want to customize their scroll speed (hard on linux, easy in windows/macos) and some other use cases, like how many people to sandbox and control permissions for individual apps (easy on Linux using Flatseal, hard on window/macos).

Then we can get a better sense of how niche these demands are, and how well these desktop OSes support them

In case people are wondering how Twitter would know something is offensive before it's reported:

> the ruling that Twitter has a duty not only to remove the illegal content that is reported, but also to track down fundamentally similar content anywhere on the platform, from any account, and ensure that it ceases

So I guess we just trust that Twitter's "similarity" ranking is infallible

As well as "with a pre-computed index"

> people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming.

Details on this?

Yeah the article mentions that they outperformed Codex, but was Codex specifically trained on code contests?

Care to elaborate? Has there been any instances of malware?

So the author prefers a tech world centered on the keyboard rather than the screen. I guess I can see why, since the author wrote a terminal-based browser. But I think the vast majority moved away from terminal-based browsers for a reason

> To refute this, one must show that the "critical mass theory" is not significant and that driver attentiveness to cyclists is not a function of the number of cyclists.

Not quite. The critical mass theory could be real and significant, and ridership could drop from a helmet mandate, but the question is how it stacks against the reduction of head injuries from the helmet mandate

> The civil rights movement didn’t boo hoo that things were “hard to work around”.

I'm quite confident that the civil rights movement did complain that things were hard to work around. That didn't stop the movement of course. Just like people are still fighting the big tech monopoly, despite the uphill battle

The solution is to integrate with AI. Why do people think Elon is working on Neuralink?
