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


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.

What are those? I have never seen or heard about those.


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.


What are "Teams tabs"? Are you using some kind of browser based version of Teams?


Yeah. Privacy reasons.


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


Many but by no means all.

I increasingly rely on either Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (which also fails remarcably often to fully, or even partially, present SPAs), or Archive.today (archive.is, archive.fo, and friends), which is painfully slow to acquire content but does manage to render most it attempts.


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.


The guidelines exhort us to:

If you can still edit the title, you should change it to the original "Signal should warn users who are likely using insecure IME apps"


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


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.


The word is not from me, read the messages of the issue


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


I'm pretty sure only Android is cheaper.

Last I checked Microsoft's signing prices were much higher than Apple's


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