@skyblond have you tried ChromeOS? Not chromium OS, but full ChromeOS? It's pretty impressive when setup correctly.

@skyblond Things got messed up with the idea of webapps. Entire applications that run in the browser. As I am a web application developer, I love this idea. But you're 100% right.

The majority of the web is not web apps. Giving the browser all these capabilities makes it massive. Also browsers tabs work differently than most people know. Each tab is another entire browser in duplicate, they do this so a page in one tab that gets frozen doesn't freeze up the other tabs. 85mb chrome with 5 tabs is 425mb of chrome. Sadly all browsers are built this way.

As the internet has become dynamic, it's time for browsers to become the same. A browser that loads resources only when requested by the page would be a massive performance and efficiency boost. Like there is chrome lite, it would be sweet to make a "lite tab" in a normal chrome browser.

But here's the biggest caveat, you mentioned ad-block. Extensions are psuedo applications. For it to be able to run one, it must be able to run them all. That makes the browser gigantic again.

There needs to be a divide. If there are methods of installing web apps, not using the browser, the browsers can go back to being ultra light and fast.

@Pat Near as I can tell, 5 seconds, and this is an awesome question because this answer isn't for entangled photons. Entangled photons can stay entangled for 10⁹ seconds, 31.6887646 years from current estimates. But the problem is trapping them without them getting absorbed or lost. So until there's a solid photon trap, they're going for distance records.

@nullifidian yeah I thought it was some baseless stereotype, I remember when I was a kid there was a super popular commercial with "momma mia!! thatsa spicey meatball!!". I thought it came from there. 🤷

@nullifidian This toot is "surprise informative", as it answers one of life's questions many missed asking. 😂

@freemo I know.. it's a crime to cover up a great steak. But sometimes I get a meh steak, and how does a cheese junky fix that? 😆

@skyblond Hey there, it's not just a China problem, this is a global problem, tragedy sells more advertising than good news. It's pretty sad. I'm American and I've noticed my own people doing pretty much the same.

I've been a programmer for 22 years. I've been a great programmer for maybe 6 years. That's 16 years of fighting with code. But It's paid off with patience.

I have no doubt you will influence the future in good ways, but probably have more failures than successes. Don't let that stop you. Failures are lessons we're taught. I've read a lot of horrible news about China. Unlike most Americans, I've been there. I didn't go for tourism, I just wanted to see the country that has mastered efficiency. I met a lot of great people. I ate a lot of delicious food.

It's not easy being a good person. It takes a lot of patience. Doing the right thing in a world that loves to see people fail hurts the soul.

How do I keep happy? I enjoy learning, I've learned to enjoy my failures. It's hard to ignore the idiots on the internet who enjoy shocking people. Usually they're looking for attention. I don't reward them with any.

I hope you have a great week and great luck. I hope you have a better time on Minecraft. I hope your luck improves. 🙂

@lupyuen I would assume multiprocessor solution would be an easy enough bypass although not the most efficient, quite effective. There's always a loophole.

@freemo nice!! How do you season yours? I'm a salt and pepper dude but if im feeling crazy do the butter and blue cheese mess.

@eburguiere Hi Eric, welcome to Qoto.org. It's an awesome place isn't it? Anyways, have a great Monday!

@garyackerman very true, even at 3-9 there's a correlation risk where the occurrence may have an auxiliary causality. That makes the math check out but it's still not a trend.

One event isn’t a trend. Two aren’t either. Once you get to three, you can start being curious… but get some math to back up your argument if you start claiming a trend.

@LouisIngenthron That's an excellent perspective! I forgot about all the advancements we've made from humanoid space travel. Very well written toot as well. 😀

@LouisIngenthron I think a trip back to the moon while maybe not that necessary, with all the new materials and technology for astronauts available, their ability to learn more, and do more is greatly expanded. On the flip side of the argument, sending robots expands that even further, at far less risk and cost. I think the new moon mission is just for bragging rights / fun.

@skanman

Thanks. I had similar sobering thoughts as well while reading this article.
There is also a book by E. Fromm on the same topic he wrote in the distant 1941:

@pj Whoa that looks like a great read! And from a unique perspective. Thanks a lot!
