That would be a welcoming change! With html5 standard, pages can have text, image, video, even css animation, all without JS.

If the page need to load some SPA app, draw the canvas (accessing GPU), or WebUSB, etc, then ask for permission would be a good idea. Just like how accessing ones' camera and mic requires permission. It will force web developers to do less stuff in JS for just display. And if an app type of application is needed, then ask for permission.

Please no, cookie banners are annoying enough.

Everyone is a temporarily inconvenienced multi-millionaire. They only need to get in on the next big thing and ride their way to a comfortable life at the top.

It's called being transfinancial. You feel like a rich person but are born in the body of a poor one.

What’s the single biggest problem you’re facing today that has a huge impact on your mental health?
bitneuker · 3 years ago
Everyone in my friend group is between 20-26, and for the guys it’s mostly been dealing with their self image. Their careers aren’t what they thought it would be, and most struggle with trying to get to some ideal body standard.

For the girls, it’s even worse. Most of them have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, probably due to the constant influence of people they see online.

So in a nutshell, the aspiration to be the same as “everyone else”, which eventually disappoints when they realise that what they want is unobtainable without drugs, surgery, luck or other extraordinary measures.

I agree a lot here - Apple's first party apps are a big part of what keeps me on macOS & in Apple's ecosystem. Preview alone is a superb app, Terminal.app is fast and reliable (I have had a lot of performance issues with iTerm2), Mail.app is my preferred mail client (I haven't found any other that I like as much on any platform!), Safari is my browser of choice (although I wish it could still run uBlock Origin), Keynote & Pages are by far my preference over Powerpoint/Word or Slides/Docs.

There are some apps that are less impressive though - Photos is merely okay but I haven't found anything else that does the job better, and Numbers is quite sluggish with larger sheets.

I use Adguard as a replacement for uBlock Origin on Safari, which works well!

Lily58 Pro with 65g Zealios. Got a set of steel bottom plates and wooden top ones that make it feel really premium!

Google removed a feature I was using daily and replaced it with a different method that was 100% incompatible with my use case. Firefox works how I want with this, so I use Firefox.

What's the deal with Google removing features, without warning, from their products that a part of their userbase still uses? They own the largest analytics platform on the planet, why go against the experience most users are used to?

> State actors have the resources

You can end the conversation right there. If you are up against a state actor, you have already lost.

Very true, just wanted to paint a picture on how this could be abused.

The speculation that I've seen here is that Apple is rolling this out ahead of a future announcement that iCloud uploads will be encrypted.
bitneuker · 4 years ago
Are they not? I would've thought that with Apple advertising privacy and security they would at least encrypt iCloud uploads.
