AFAIK only “spoiler” formatting enables the expand-for-detail behavior you describe.

I use it similarly for anything long, even if it’s just collapsing to the first sentence of each paragraph.

(Note that you’ll have to use the “select text” menu option on this comment to see the syntax of the examples below.)

Most clients render first level no problem. Only a few allow nested/multi-level. GL 👍

Actually assumed naively that was the subject of the conversation above. Oh well.

I occasionally append an edit line to my first submission to fuck with the convention police

Edit: why all the downvotes??

I hate that bro

While I maintain that repurposing OPFS as a measure of SSD usage by this method is unrealistic even under optimal conditions, I gotta admit I’m surprised by the lack of throttling and resource quotas.

ETA: Either way, I suspect any user vulnerable to this exploit is likely already exposed to much worse from attacks that are similarly inelegant but far more reliable. Those users are already heavily profiled in many datasets. I mean, no one here… hopefully.

In this case, I agree that it’s a low priority patch. Here’s what you must do as an attacker. Decide for yourself whether it sounds practical for general deployment.

Requirements: Fill OPFS storage with an arbitrarily large amount of data which at least exceeds RAM, but may require up to 60% of SSD, then lock up a thread with random reads while a worker thread hosts a model that you feed any detected latency clusters.

Even if users don’t notice their fans maxing / battery burning / memory+storage disappearing and kill the tab themselves, this definitely will be the first tab offloaded by most browsers and OSes shortly after it is sent to the background.

That means you have a brief window where you might get the chance to guess which sites a user is visiting. Your guess is likely far less than 89% accurate (PoCs illustrate in optimal conditions where models are often deliberately overfit to specific machine(s) and locale) outside a hyper-targeted attack, you will be lucky for coin toss levels of certainty for any guess.

Is this an attractive attack vector?

I think this perception of increased global ignorance may not withstand scrutiny — for starters, global statistics continue to reflect a rise in median education levels over time — but is an increasingly popular intuition that is likely bound to a few adjacent factors, namely:

Whether more localized or transient effects may trend in the future due to historic shifts in education policy (or technology like LLMs) is yet to be seen. But there is little evidence to suggest that we are witnessing either the end of a golden age of free thought or the beginning of a dark age of ignorance and intellectual atrophy.

I’m not going either, and most Jewish friends have other plans. I would guess attendance is dwindling and increasingly old these past years.

“Security hardened” for some might specifically mean “no JS” which will tend to break web pages that rely on async content loading and rendering.

Employee owned co-ops don’t have much of a marketing R&D or lighting budget, and no Costco warehouse I’ve been to has music (or even a PA system, come to think of it).

Warehouse management’s sales tactics tend to be unsophisticated bordering on obsolete compared to traditional retail.

ETA: but you’re right that one of the original sales dynamics relied on in Costco’s warehouse model is placing higher ticket and luxury items by the entrance such that customers must walk past them to get to what they actually came for. That trick is old but still works.

I’ve seen that scenario play out multiple times now.

In every case management’s paranoia was a result of their inability to comprehend employee departure as anything short of personal betrayal and thus, drama ensued. Cringe-o-rama

First southern state

While NoVA drives most of these progressive policies, and is why northern and southern yanks alike make distinctions between the South and “the South,” I still believe that once southerners burn out on their grandparents’ race and culture wars and rediscover the labor-centric politics of generations prior, the ever-troubled North American South East really will become a textbook example of what’s possible when workers unite.

There’s too much money in politics, except for my candidate. They need that money in order to win.

Agreed, and these might be expressions of kindness, respect, and other genuine virtues.

For example, prudence can mean wisdom, care warranted and given, or simply an instance of thoughtful behavior.

Likewise decorum can refer to respectful behavior, honor deserved and given, even a gesture of good faith participation in what others value simply because you recognize it its important to them, part of them, and you want them to know they’re accepted.

But just speaking directly, I’m not sure OP was demonstrating a lack of any of the above simply by the mildly lewd joke. Even of her grandmother was scandalized (pretty sure she wasn’t) it’d only be indecorous/unthoughful/unseemly/unkind if that was her intent.

Given that perspective, and noting (edit: the original commenter’s) authoritative grasp of normal family and interpersonal relationships, I figured (edit: the original commenter was) lamenting that kids these days fail to accommodate the conservative mores of their elders with the level of dedication and precision that we achieved at their age. Forgive my misunderstanding.

To know whether any act of prudence or decorum is a feather in one’s cap is first to answer to what end and on whose behalf.

Anyway I used to think similarly. What disabused me of my regard for such ideals was living among those who prudence and decorum never served.
