I can't even tell it's crappy. Just a blank screen with Javascript disabled. Sites aren't worth visiting if they don't care about usability and accessibility, and promptly get added to my shit-list of domains.

Disable CSS too and it works. It’s all progressive enhancement.

Apple doesn't have "way fewer CVEs for macOS/iOS". Apple ranks 5th overall, and 4th so far in 2023, by vendor. In 2015 they were #1. CVEs track closely with the number of users a platform has, and the incentives to comprise that platform.

I genuinely don't understand when I should be pressing down or right. Is there a linear way to view this?

Press space.

RIP mobile users :'(

The reveal.js slide itself probably isn't the best way for readers. The reveal.js project actually provides a PDF export feature which can be more helpful. Anyway, it's an asahilina.net page, not a cve.mitre.org page. That domain is for the Virtual YouTuber Lina-chan, so I would not expect it to be the most friendly for developers. As a VTuber follower, I do really like the style :D

I would classify Lina as excellent hacker and engineer first, VTuber second (but it is really just marcan's alter ego, innit?)

All: please don't post comments about the formatting of the presentation. It makes for tedious and off-topic discussion, and the HN guidelines specifically ask you not to:

If you’re not willing to go through the slides that’s really your loss isn’t it?

It's a loss for both parties, no?

The HN rules say

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Given that many are praising the formatting, I don't see how the rule applies.

I'd like to point out that the slides have source available and use the reveal js slides framework, but I'm not sure if this would be considered as breaking the rules?
