I don’t really understand the outrage. The status quo is that companies didnt support it for years. So 99.9% won’t notice any change.
But a mail CLIENT is a Web App not a static documents site. If Wikipedia would require JS I would kind of understand it from a technical point.
But big corporation tries to reduce cost by shutting down scarcely used old service happens monthly.
Good thing they abandoned this. Rare case where consumer won. And this is getting more and more rare!
Great film with really awesome visuals as always from Edgar Wright. But I guess it is quite a popular opinion that this is the weakest one from the Cornetto trilogy.
I like Adam driver playing Italians. He was great in House of Gucci imo.
In Europe good connected homes (basically cities) can have a ping of 10-20 ms. Most people won’t notice mich of a lav when they casually play on their couch.
Maybe also unpopular, but my standpoint on taxes is: The government is the one giving out the money in the first place. Every dollar comes from the Fed (exception some virtual money) like the monopoly bank just gives out money in the first place.
The point of taxes is to keep the economy working fairly. Like putting high taxes on something to discourage bad behavior, and the other way around. Also, it’s necessary to keep capitalism from evolving into feudalism, as money likes to accumulate on a few rich ones.
The second thought is what the government should with the money. Of course, they should do great and needed investments. Often times, this is not the case, but the root problems here are not taxes themselves. There is no alternative universe where the government is spending all money perfectly.
The real problem is the rich being able to evade taxes, and they frame taxes as something unfair. Additionally, not rich people pay far too much in taxes.
Cory Doctorow has written a great article about this phenomenon a few days ago: https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon
Basically we move back to a feudalism world where you don’t own anything anymore and you have to pay recurring rents. And as you don’t own it they can fuck you over by increasing rents or disable features when you can’t pay.
He used the quote in the trinity scene. Directly after the bomb exploded. Maybe we did see different cuts 😅.
This was not THE “now I am become death” scene, the Trinity scene was it. In this scene we see him and Florences relationship sparking and we learn that he did not invent the quote, he got it from the Bhagavad Gita: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Become_Death_(disambiguation)
Why? It is a biopic and his relationships (at least Florence and Emily) were relevant for his story.
Super interesting thanks for sharing! I also recommend checking out his his other posts.
I don’t understand the Google selling data argument. I thought Google was an ad broker. Someone goes to Google and says I want to play ads on YouTube for my awesome baking book, play it for people who are into baking. YouTube has the watch history of people and is able to tell who watches a lot of baking content. That’s not selling data to someone in my books as the advertiser does not receive any personal details about the people where the ad is played. He is just buying impressions. Or am I missing something?
Ah the advantages of going to a cloud. When it is down again at least your IT admins are not sweating.

I think this is not the way.
It’s like with dental care. The solution is not to don’t care and think that someday technology will fix it. Instead you should brush regularly, don’t eat much sugar and visit the dentist now and then. It’s prevention.
We currently don’t have any technology that will save us and time is running out. Why bet on a tech wonder that needs to be mass ready in no time?
I can’t imagine any other Wolverine than Hugh. It’s crazy for how long and how many different universes he has contributed.
Already in love with https://wefwef.app . Feels really snappy on both Android and iOS, really great job from the developers. Also copying the Apollo UI/UX made me feel comfortable since minute 1.
Looks quite unique. Not that I disliked The Irishmen, but I like to see new topics from Scorsese. DiCaprio and De Niro look like they are having fun, or at least they seem to disappear in their roles. I am also a fan of the scenes with Lily Gladstone; she seems pretty badass!
That’s my 5 cents for overanalyzing a trailer. I really look forward to seeing this on the big screen.
Sorry but there are so much more things you have a way bigger impact on climate than website requires a little bit JavaScript.
