Yeah, Google tends to send a lot of junk back.

Yeah. Privacy reasons.

They're prompts you get when you have three Teams tabs open at the same time. When you click them, it refreshes the current tab. Kicked me out of calls a couple of times.

IMHO Teams isn't as good as they make out. Firstly, you have the constant stream of 'Are you there?' popups which kick you out of calls, alongside the blocking modals which stop you from editing documents. Moreover, the UI is a slow mess.

I guess the most attractive point for employers is that this is free for 0365 consumers, but O365 isn't that good either IMHO.

Aside: outline.com is useful for news websites which require JavaScript.

I'll bear it in mind in future. Thanks.

I'm not really talking about this from an a11y standpoint, but audio CAPTCHA's are so much easier than "choose the fire hydrant" hell.

I actually remember reading a post saying that an accessible CAPTCHA is hard. To make it accessible, you have to make it machine-readable, which defeats the point...

Perfect use-case for Narrator ;-)

I've created many React apps without any complex state management libraries :-)

I chose to highlight the Chinese aspect, but you're absolutely right: any keyboard with personalisation puts Signal users at risk.

I think the word 'track' is misleading in this context. The proposal outlines various methods to detect the use of a third-party keyboard, whereas the term 'track' commonly denotes corporate surveillance.

They could do that, but it would have a maintenance cost. I do think we need to find a solution to this, however, as these personalised keyboards actually _track_ what people type. That could have real-world implications.

$100 is very expensive compared to the other platforms. These licensing fees destroy the majority of open-source projects geared around said platforms, sadly.

IIRC if you disable POST requests, Chromium should show the searX instance in the Search Engines settings menu.

I'm personally worried Signal will suffer the same fate. It's heavily trusted in its current state, but it could, in time, turn into a Silicon Valley "product" (and so will we). eye roll.

    Your data isn't even in the picture. We are simply not interested in any of it.

My gosh, how the tide can turn.

Oh damn, didn't realise it was a dupe. It must be really good then :-)

I'm confused. Where does it mention those companies?

Hmm, so it's just a rip-off?

You make it mean something. You can help others, find your passion, support your family, or create your own family. Life does not have to be meaningless, it's all up to you :-)

I thought the same. Assumed it was some Microsoft BS. Thankfully it's not :D

"there is more than one race which is scientifically incorrect."

...not quite. There's definitely more than one race ;)

That'd probably make the problem worse, by encouraging developers to force JavaScript to see the page.

Nevertheless, it probably can't get worse than it is now.

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen websites which have some sort of hidden-before-load-class attached to the HTML element. When you're not using JavaScript, you can remove this class and it all works fine.

Same thing for loading spinners. If your loading time warrants a loading spinner, you're probably doing something wrong.

The only thing worrying me is that none of this seems to be scoped, so it'll probably clash with other external libraries using the same class names. Am I understanding this correctly?

Well, Vista has a lot more blue in it. Plus it has that sweet dark black taskbar.

Looks great. That being said, a lot of the open-source Flash runtimes I've seen have been left to rot. I'm hoping this doesn't go down the same path, because it's a very good idea.

This bit made me suspicious of the whole thing.
