Western Digital be all like

That’s exactly what it will do. Don’t believe the bullshit in their “non-goals” section, they don’t give a fuck. If accessibility extensions happen to continue working (at least temporarily), it will be by accident, because they for damn sure aren’t going to spend even a second on compatibility.

If it’s something like a proxy server that pre-modifies the markup/code, then yes, I can see WEI interfering with that.

Such an abstraction, while unnecessary, should be possible, providing that Google doesn’t forcibly prevent access to the final markup that coalesces (ie.: view source and web dev tools)

Web dev here. It enforces the original markup and code from a server to be the markup and code that the browser interprets and executes, preventing any post-loading modifications.

That sounds a bit dry, but the implications are huge. It means:

• ad blockers won’t work (the main reason for Google’s ploy)
• many, if not most, other browser extensions won’t work (eg.: accessibility, theming, anti-malware)
• people are going to start running into a lot of scam ads that ad blockers would otherwise prevent
• malicious websites will be able to operate with impunity since you cannot run security extensions to prevent them
• web developers are going to be crippled for lack of debugging ability

These are just a few things off the top of my head. There are endless and very dangerous implications to WEI. This is very, very bad for the web and antithesis of how it’s supposed to be.

TBL is probably experiencing a sudden disturbance in the force.

I really doubt they’d do that either.

That may be technically true, but both TLDs are ubiquitous and it’s extraordinarily unlikely that the US will suddenly start confiscating millions of .com and .net domain names operated by non-Americans.

lmao, sure, the ear wax cops are gonna show up at your door to raid your garbage cans for waxy cotton swabs

That works, too. I’m on lemmy.ca. Buying a .ca domain requires confirmation of citizenship or other qualification before you can even use it.

The difference being that Unilever won’t confiscate your Q-Tips for cleaning out your earwax.

The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn’t matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.

My thoughts exactly. You should not be choosing TLDs that are volatile to upsets like this. Stick with the tried and true .com or .net, or one of the new TLDs that are not bound to a nation (unless you can comply with the stipulations) or particular type of organization.

I’m guessing because it’s sort of an alliteration on lemmy?

Doesn’t work for me

Edit: oh, it’s a swipe gesture. I wish I could edit directly from my comment history, though.

Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything’s fast. How do I edit a comment, though?

Voyager definitely needs to add some loading/activity indicators and implement better separation between interface and data fetching. But it’s definitely the cleanest UI I’ve tried so far.

I encountered a weird bug with connect, where I’m logged in, but I can’t access my profile or inbox. Some parts of the app think I’m logged in, others do not.

It’s mobile optimized, but it’s painfully slow and laggy. Have they fixed the annoying post auto-loading?

So far, all the lemmy apps I’ve used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.

Looking forward to Sync, though!

Would you get on a plane with a 1 in 10 chance of crashing?
