#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

Truth:
"Behind all these conflicts is a striking problem:
the inability to see the other side as human"

You likely realise I've posted almost nothing on the two major conflicts that have been killing thousands during 2023.
This is mostly because there is nothing I feel I can add to the already extensive & well-informed commentary across #Mastodon.
But, having taught IR & Global Politics for 25yrs before retiring let me share this one thought.
Behind all these conflicts is a striking problem:
the inability to see the other side as human at all!
Everything else flows from that

One common feature of various anti-science ideologies is that their adherents lack a sense of scale. #FlatEarthers don’t understand distance, #creationists don’t understand time, #climate change #denialists don’t understand levels of emissions or rate of temperature change, #antivaxers don’t understand population morbidity and mortality. Probably other types of looniness with which I’m less familiar have the same underlying problem.
In a way I sympathize with this, because the numbers are so far outside normal human experience. But learn the #math and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. We’re not talking about anything particularly advanced. Just grasp that intution breaks down when measuring something very large or very small.

This is very well done, but doesn't even hit the biggest issue with RSC: `"use client"` is viral!
Every dependency of the entire tree from every component in the hierarchy from then-on-down will be sent to the client, and it will largely come as a nasty surprise to teams that *thought* they were doing things that would lighten up the bundle.

The sucky thing about working in infosec is that you can't talk about most of the wildest, coolest projects you end up getting pulled into. It's paid work done under NDAs.
The train research done by @redford, @q3k, and @mrtick is a prime example of something that usually wouldn't see the light of day - and I'm really happy that they were able to buck the trend:
