These are good points. To be honest, I cannot fully follow the line of argument as presented by anovikov.

It seems a tad strange to criticise Yandex for filtering content according to local law and recommending Google over it, when the latter does the very same thing. Speaking of "narratives", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEvD1Wu9uQo

Re:Poll: What browser do you use? on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @05:07AM (#34229777)
For iOS that is true. On Android Google still runs their monopoly. Except for Firefox, all major browsers are based on Chrome
That's the argument for all those frameworks.
Not necessarily reinvent the wheel, but not build the same glass buildings all across the world either. Your analogy is not that far off. Real world architecture is quite the same.

This will be a posting, which either receives no to little responses or will have 256 responses within the next couple of hours :)

I am sure, there'll be quite a few who'd argue that this is necessary complexity, but my take on this definitely is the latter - artificially inflated

But it's not only the web. Same happened to Java in the 2000s and is currently happening to Android. Any mainstream Java job is more configuration of Spring containers with a bit of code glue sprinkled in-between than "proper programming". As for Android, just follow a couple of Android forums where plenty of people complain about such complexity and frameworks changing "by the minute"

Aritifically inflated :)

Which begs the question if we should not use Linux, considering the number of US contributions and the US being involved in countless illegal wars.

The whole thing is absurd. Clownworld!

The title is clickbait. If anyone forced here anything, then it was not IE but - once again - webmasters who don't deserve that "title" ;)
Thank you very much
Thanks, from that I understand the brighter the color the more power it will use. So #010101 will use more than proper black but far less than proper white.

That was my question, thanks a lot

Could you point me in the right direction please? It does talk about OLED, but I couldn't find where it specifically referred to the question here.
But does it use less power than #FFFFFF?
Well, with LCD it does not matter. It always uses the same power. Hence the question.

So you are confirming that the statement is actually wrong. The darker a pixel on OLED, the less power it uses. Right?

Thanks, that's exactly what I am wondering

Is #010101 effectively #FFFFFF or does it actually use less energy the darker it is? With LCDs we know it is the former, but what about OLED displays?

Ask HN: Do OLED displays only save energy with absolute black?

It was always my understanding that OLED displays use less energy the darker the screen is. However I now came across some information that this is actually only true for absolute black (#000000).Is that correct? Does #010101 use the same energy as #FFFFFF or do darker shades still use less energy?

Russia? Last time I checked it was the European Union who sanctioned Russian energy and declared to want to stop buying Russian gas and oil.

Long live cannibalism

Clownworld!

Apart from the social security number being sensitive data mostly in the US, how is the OP's question privacy relevant?

He probably simply would like to be able to compare salaries.

Plus, software was generally better working :)

If your recollection of events does not go beyond 2022, that's certainly a legitimate question.

Isn't it ironic that this complaint is posted on a site which hijacks your mouse cursor? Speaking of usability ;)
True, but with all the absurdities these days I really only have one word
