    Does that somehow not make the headline misleading? Becase that's what that comment said, not that the arrest was ok and warranted.

    "Seamless integration" in this case doesn't read as statement about how well it works to me. It means the applications from the windows appear on your Linux desktop without the "se…

    I do tend to let tabs accumulate, but then I turn off my PC at the end of the day and let all tabs fall into the void. I like to start the day with a blank slate. Which seems to be…

    Actions that are fundamentally impossible to undo should generally need confirmation anyways Maybe not for the email example, but the other comments already adress than

    The mailto is inside the SVG, not the HTML document. So that's not "also" it's the same idea of bots not looking at the svg at all

    Simple solution: Auto formatters - If you have project wide automatic code formatting: Tabs - Otherwise: Spaces Nowadays, most of my projects use option 1.

    Mac mini M2 user with safari here: The website causes 10-20% CPU load doing absolutely nothing. The spotlight effect also doesn't seem to work as intended. As long as the mouse is …

    I believe they mean that's how Google interpreted the query?

    Exploiting browsers to gain access to userspace is fairly common in stuff like console jailbreaking. And at that point you can proceed with the same kinds of kernel/driver exploits…

    Have you ever executed a script you didn't write? It's handy to have a runtime where you can see what a script can do from its permissions. I'd generally like to see more languages…

    Using bar graphs just showing the factor of improvement is kinda baffling. It took me a bit to understand how to read it, which is the last thing you want in a diagram. Just show b…

    It is fairly clear that it's not in competition with cargo, since it is literally based on cargo. It installs dependencies that are not managed by cargo, apparently mainly C depend…

    There is often a quite significant distance between the beautiful, elegant and efficient design that brings tears to the eyes of a designer, and being pragmatic and financially via…

    I've been using a similar system, only that I additionally append a random 5 digit number, so that if e.g. hilton-68425@domain.org gets leaked, that doesn't automatically make hyat…

    What are you doing with it that opus decoding complexity is any kind of barrier?

    Comment #30379125

    That's a good step, but I think in most windowing systems, windows can just take and give focus as they please, so that alone probably wouldn't be too effective. It's probably a po…

    Thanks. That works, but worse that actual Safari. Especially icon fonts seem broken. But better than nothing :)

    Metaverse means they can bring real world limitations to a virtual world that has no need for them, so they can profit of these limitations.

    Are there actually any Webkit browsers on Windows without having to build it myself?

    As I said, it needs to be as a direct reaction to user interaction. Though from the other comments, it seems my knowledge here is outdated anyways

    Are you running it as part of a click handler?

    Comment #30219833

    That is not quite true. JS can read the clipboard on any direct user interaction using "Document.execCommand". Also, there is a newer Clipboard API that requires explicit user perm…

    The applications still need to retrieve data for the clipboard to be of any use to anyone. E.g. Editor widgets like to have a paste button. Edit > Paste is a fairly common pattern,…

    That is exactly what is discussed in the article. A way to notify the user if a program request the contents of the clipboard. iOS apperently does just that. The thing with the cli…
