If it were a WYSIWYG editor, there'd be previews for images. But it seems like it's just syntax highlighting for textareas. Nice project either way, but false advertising.

I read a piece about how abundant solar in rural Afghanistan strengthened the Taliban as poppy and therefore opium production skyrocketed because they were able to install electric wells.
interested in the article. would you like to share a link?
Maybe that is the kick in the guts needed to really move to a decentralized chat application that literally cannot be compelled to provide data since it doesn't have any.
EU would just force the client to do client-side scanning. But then again, if the client is open-source: fork, compile, repeat.
As a EU citizen, this makes me so god-darn angry. The parliament tries it again, and again, relentlessly, against every single legal or technical advisor. And there is nothing I can do about it, not even voting. The EU claims to be democratic, but actual legislation is passed without much democratic input. No matter how the vote turns out, there will be enough support left for laws like this. Always. And if this iteration won’t pass, they will modify and retry.
Until they eventually, but inevitably, succeed. So it’s only a matter of time.
And I know this, we all do, and yet am fundamentally impotent about it. It’s infuriating.
Afraid of the rising alternative parties, the current power structures seek to forever freeze their power in time by passing authoritarian laws. Sadly, they only way to end this it by massively voting alternative parties no matter the cost.

What one posts on public social media sites is public. Is this surveillance?
Are surveillance cameras really surveilling?

I think a less radical idea would be to, once and for all, force all billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes and then use the amount they paid extra to solve some of the worlds problems.
I didn't do the math so I don't really know what could be done with such sums.

Good point, I asked them that.
Please also share this with us when they respond.
Mostly true--the hn.js would indicate otherwise:
function vote (id, how, auth, _goto) {
...
$('unv_' + id).innerHTML = unv;
new Image().src = vurl(id, how, auth, _goto);
}Sorry, could you point me to the piece of code that requests all comments via an API and renders them accordingly?

The UI is closed source.
Would you happen to also know what the Vivaldi source code contains then?
