This is an important effort to help explore what can be done to make the #Web less energy-hungry…. and thereby help reduce the impact of the overall #Internet on #ClimateChange. (Since web traffic is such a huge amount of Internet traffic.) Good to see this happening!

The Man Who Killed #Google #Search.

The Man Who Killed Google Search

This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it. The story begins on February 5th 2019, when Ben Gomes, Google’s head of search, had a problem.

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.

There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

Ok wtf. So you're telling me that #Google #Chrome's #V8 #JavaScript engine was more #insecure than #Mozilla's #Spidermonkey after all these years? Because I'm pretty sure SM has been already doing plenty of the things mentioned in this article (I've touched on SM code plenty of times, so much more than I wanted because I worked on separating Spidermonkey from the monolithic #libxul, it's still hurting my brain...), even before the #Quantum rewrite. So even #PaleMoon which has been commonly trashed for being "old and insecure" is apparently more secure than Chrome, but most crucially it also disproves the long-standing blind belief by security freaks out there that Chrome is "more secure" than #Firefox when it's the other way around on many fronts...

Google Chrome Adds V8 Sandbox - A New Defense Against Browser Attacks

Google tackles Chrome security with new V8 Sandbox. This aims to stop memory issues from spreading, protecting your browser experience.

^{The Hacker News}

I've just seen a corporate intranet portal that loads web version of outlook into the same browser window as the pages you are looking at, just so that you do not lose visibility of your emails.

For crying out loud, we've had magic technology of "seeing two applications side by side" for several decades now, it's called separate application windows. Now we're reinventing even this inside the web browser.

I bet the genius who came up with this even got a raise.

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."

What the hell?? This is so creepy.

Prepisovani "firemni" casti webu @ceskodigital z Nextu do Webflow pokracuje. Zakladni definovani stylu slo dobre, temer vse v barvach, typografii a zakladnich mezerach pokryly globalni classy ("all h1", "all h2"...). Designerka to abstrahovala do design systemu moc pekne.

Sekce jsou naopak hodne custom. Mimo hlavicky a paticky se temer nic neopakuje, takze se to nesnazim sroubovat na nejakou abstrakci a sazim jednu sekci za druhou. WET princip. Pomuze to predatelnosti.

Koncept responsivity ve webflow je top->down. Zacina se na Desktopu (>991), pres Tablet (>767) po mobil (<=767). Silne doporucuju je nemenit. To by mohlo rozbit predatelnost projektu, Webflow koderi jsou na to zvykli.
