it's not that niche - svg is a common format and it was difficult to work around. my point was more that the issue was known and just unlikely to ever be fixed, which makes me concerned about other issues I'm not experiencing today but might tomorrow.

I honestly would prefer to be using Firefox.

urghhhhh but firefox just doesn't perform as well. i tried, i really did. i found a 15 year old (!!) bug affecting svg drawing performance that was fucking up a page i was working on, i'm not imagining it.

I'm not sure if it's the same one but i just found a similar bug with a five year old comment saying i guess we're not fixing it anytime soon... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483868

I do have it installed and check in occasionally but it feels like a downgrade when i try to use it as a daily driver.

is there any way to get a functional de-googled chromium build with settings sync across devices?

Bruce Y Lee is only producing one a day but if you include Bruce A through X Lee, you get a lot more articles..

he could easily just be a bit burnt out and be using chat gpt to give him the bones of an article and a bunch of "amusing" phrases and stringing it together himself.

it'd probably what I'd do if i was a journo right now.

that's terrifying

I saw an issue that would allow admins to just point a sub to another server, if that community grows more. seems like a reasonable idea.

it's people arguing about whether or not they use sync

.. honestly tho I wouldn't be surprised, I'm using it a lot more now 🤷‍♂️

isn't the article about Cortana being replaced by a gpt powered one?

to be fair that seems to happen without AI too 😒

to be fair that happened a lot before AI existed

i've always heard horror stories of cities paying off the amount of money lost on hosting for decades. i'm worried.

here's an article outlining a lot of what i've heard, but of course i'm far from an expert: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/economics-hosting-olympic-games (I checked and there are no obvious red flags with the source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations and https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/council-on-foreign-relations/ )

i'm not sure vic was wrong for pulling out of the commonwealth games, it was a PR disaster but the closer you get the higher the pressure and the more costs can blow out.

it's why I love the kakapo so much, so glad others remember it too
