I understand that its just the fact that google is a search company that became an ads company that became an AI company, but the "chat with AI about this" option on content inspector is very funny

do you want to talk to a computer about this <div>? because if so, you should probably talk to someone. not a computer, a trained professional

The garbage that happens when you treat HTML and CSS as an "output target" instead of its own actual thing.

Everyone can see this is a pile of inefficient noise. A layman can see that; it is self-evident.

KrebsOnSecurity also has learned that the New Orleans field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.

Pretty fun that this year Rust seems to be on track to stabilize multiple decades*-long initiatives:

- the never type
- the new borrow checker
