People being triggered by the sheer existence of Electron – it just HAS to be "shitty", even if it works perfectly fine.

W3C lists 1138 separate standards currently, so if each of their three engineers implements one discrete standard every day, with no breaks/weekends/holidays, then having an alpha available that adheres to all 2024 web standards should be possible by 2026?

Yes, that is exactly the plan: "We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version"

That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.

Yeah, it's a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: "my grandma has a and it still works! You should buy one, too!". First of all it's survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don't want to pay the price for reliable appliances).

Yeah we're all stupid, except VW and their software-defined cars. Should we cease to exist now or what are you suggesting?

Amazing, I've missed that 🤦

That seems like an overly tedious way of entering your preferences. Why can't I just rank a handful of factors (cheap housing, beaches, climate, politics, diversity) and give them some weight?

You could even make the ranking of the factors in the current style ("snowy winters are [much] more important than beaches"). That would reduce the cognitive load of comparing 3 vs 3 properties many times in a row.

Who said that they eliminate competition that's way behind technologically? They haven't eliminated us, so apparently they don't. But it seems plausible that they eliminate civilizations that are on the verge of becoming dangerous - still a great filter, but probably a bit further in the future.

There's another layer to it: it's a meme about AI

Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don't turn into another Paris or Rome...
