    One day I'll buy a bluetooth mouse that I won't slam into my coffee table in frustration when it stops working every five minutes.

    Intel (for reasons known only to Intel) has released critical CPU bugfixes for Linux servers under a bizarre license that prevents distros from redistributing it.

    If you've ever wondered how much advertising is worth to a company there's no better measure of that then Kindle's Special Offers.

    $249 without Special Offers
    $179 with Special Offers

    That's $70 they expect to make off of you with advertising, just in the pricing of the device.

    That's the hard part about subscription services vs. advertising: advertising pays stupid amounts of money to market to you in the hopes you'll buy shit.

    Want to change this? Make advertising a liability.

    @technomancy @brennen I agree that their decision to make it a "living" standard is kind of annoying.

    But I strongly suspect most of what's on w3schools will stick.

    @technomancy @brennen I disagree that rolling back to HTML2 is the answer.

    I think HTML5 minus JavaScript and clear decisions not to pull CSS files & fonts from external providers is sufficient.

    HTML5 in and of itself is not that complex. It's all the nasty JQuery and Amp cruft that people put on top of it that's the problem imho

    > i don't remotely have any idea what to do about it.

    make sites that look good in lynx/netsurf is the best I can come up with

    the oligopoly on browser implementations stems from the massive complexity of the html5 stack; going back a generation to html2 would massively democratize things; suddenly anyone can write a functional browser

    (some will say gopher but I think that's throwing out the baby with the bath water; html2 is excellent)

    It looks like things are going from bad to worse for the Vega+ console. Sky just pulled permission for them to use the Sinclair trademarks!

    This really is a delightful takedown of Ready Player One and the entire California Ideology undergirding it.

    When societies slide from Horatio Alger to Orphan Annie / Slumdog Millionaire fantasies, it's an oft missed warning sign that the elites themselves have even given up on working things out.

    @nico
    They can start by stop trying to be a bad copy of Google Chrome and instead embrace their own advantages. The extensibility of Firefox (and Seamonkey, though that project's more removed than Firefox) was and still is its greatest strength. Another is offering more options to users, which is the antithesis of Chrome due to Google treating every user like they're 5 years old.
