I'm still puzzled by a design decision on Mastodon's official web UI: version 4 now requires JavaScript, and shows a message about this. But the post content, the URL of the attached image and its alt text are all included as META tags.

So why can't these be included inside/along with the "requires JavaScript" message too? It's not like it'd need extra fetching on the server side, it is already being included in , just not in the .

Cc: @trains

Besides funny, this is the truth, after all. If a "highway system" is congested enough that someone needs to obtain optimizations by machine, then the solution will invariably be high-capacity mass transit, and trains are the best for the job.

So linuxquestions.org now won't load with Elinks? (I think this change isn't new, but I'm noticing again as I have to use Elinks right now...)

(Don't ever put your site behind Cloudflare if you want the expectation that people can load it from outside some walled garden...)

So today I tried interacting with a GPT instance:

Q: How does one use killall in Solaris?

A: «In Solaris, the 'killall' command is used to terminate processes by name. You can use the following command syntax: killall [signal] process_name This command will send a signal to terminate all instances of a process with the specified name.»

I love that it actually prepended this all with "In Solaris,", yet the answer does not apply to Solaris...
