Superhero universes are severily constrained because they can't deviate much from the real world. Their worlds can have flashy superheros and villains, but can't never fix the big real problems, because then they would become a sort of Star Wars or LOTR world. Other options are explored in out of continuity books. For example, the classic Supreme Squadron series is about a group of superheroes that rise to power and try to convert Earth in a futuristic utopia. V for Vendetta main character is about an anarchist revolution. But Marvel movies are in continuity, so they tend to keep the status quo, with exceptions, main one being the ending of Infinity War.

He was pretty pathetic until he got a presidency. Each time I laugh at a politician, he becomes president and is even worse than expected (and yes, UK, I'm looking at you too, but don't worry, you're far from being alone).

Beware of pathetic politicians, they are the worst kind.

At least until we can raise the average over 1 million, of course 😅

@Merovie@kolektiva.social
I checked and some estimates say all the money in the world makes around 80 trillion dollars. Since we are 8 billion, the average per capita must be 10000$. So thinking globally, a million is 100 times the average. Not bad. Maybe we should put the top even lower 🤨

As a developer, what I really miss in Chrome's support of this feature (unless I am missing something) is discoverability of font features in devtools. It would be really useful to be able to see which features are available and the effect they have. font-variant-alternates will be severely underused otherwise, I am afraid.

Unless you need to support really old browsers, I consider Babel obsolete, same as jQuery. Thank you for your years of outstanding service, but your services are no longer required.

Seems the only major browser still supporting it is Firefox. Thank you for the years of support anyway, you lasted much more than Samsung: they stopped updates 6 years ago.
And to top it, your browser has cost 400€ less 😅

El tema legal no es lo mío, pero veo demasiada gente del ala técnica/empresarial interpretando que si no son datos identificativos, lo anonimizas y demás, tienes carta blanca. Y que las copias de seguridad no cuentan. No puedo decir que esté de acuerdo, pero hasta que vean dar palos a los jueces, muchos seguirán igual. Y además hablamos de un tipo al que la ley le importa a medias.

Aparte, cuando borras tu cuenta de Twitter, te dice que tienes un mes para arrepentirte, de donde se deduce que al menos hasta dentro de un mes tus datos van a seguir ahí.

Y una vez la IA está entrenada, ya no les importa tanto borrar los datos.

Falta que la ley determine que una IA es una obra derivada de los datos a partir de los que se entrenó, cosa que a mí al menos me parece de cajón, pero que nadie en ese mundillo parece ver de la misma forma. Otra cosa a la espera de palo judicial.

I really loved the old Opera. So I am a happy Vivaldi user now. It was sad finding that the Android 5 on my tablet was not supported anymore. Can't blame you, it's an old beast, but I like it 😞

Edge is probably the best browser MS has made, but its features don't seem to fit well together. And their side panel implementation is terrible. Last time I tried, I couldn't even resize it! And the tracking. The nagging.
Microsoft best things have always been programming tools. Their browsers, OSs and office suites have always been a rollercoaster. To top it, marketing people at MS seem to be in a rampage as of late. The UX dark patterns you describe are a very obvious example.

On the other hand, Vivaldi is always getting better and greater. Without Vivaldi and Firefox this would be a darker web.

At least, not until all of us are multimillionaires.

Un tema a tener en cuenta es que en este tipo de webs lo normal es que cuando un usuario borra algo, se haga un borrado lógico, es decir, que no se borren los datos realmente, si no que se hace como si se hubieran borrado, estando sólo accesibles para los administradores de la página. Y luego ya se hará el borrado fisico (borrarlo de verdad) cuando se cumplan requisitos legales, falte espacio, o nunca (las grandes tienen un enorme apetito por datos aparentemente inútiles).
Otro tema a tener en cuenta es que para enseñar a una IA a hablar, necesitas tener los datos de millones de conversaciones.
Y todos sabemos de cierta persona a la que le encantaría que sus coches y robots hablaran como descosidos, y al que nunca le ha gustado pagar licencias a otros.
Vamos, que, borrar, lo que se dice borrar...

What I get for sure is to avoid following links to them.
True, I can't avoid giving them any money at all. But I can reduce that amount, and avoid seeing their logo in many places. Especially, when I disable Javascript, which may break most sites, but breaks many paywalls, makes dissapear most ads, and their most obvious tracking methods (most ostensibily, Google Analytics doesn't work at all).

@aherrero
Tampoco es cuestión de meter a alguien en la cárcel porque se encontró un euro por la calle y no lo justificó
Tiene que haber un margen. Y el castigo debe graduarse según lo que se haga. Que no es lo mismo robar una piruleta que la fábrica entera. Eso sí, yo pondría cárcel bastante más abajo de 250.000€.

@georgetakei
If anyone must be prosecuted, clearly is the man child with astronomically more money than morals.
