Domains as "Internet Handles"
A little while ago I cam across a post by Dan Abramov, a name that until then didn’t ring a bell, but who appears to be a former Meta employee and member of the React core team. The post links to a website made by Abramov, that addresses the issues of how, quote, every time you sign up for a new social app, you have to rush to claim your username, how, quote, if someone else got there first, too bad and how, quote, that username only works on that one app anyway.
The website goes on:

It’s an extension that allows you to use a custom fragment shader to specify how to resolve a multisample image into a single-sample image, typically so the latter can be presented on screen. CTS tests for that extension were written by yours truly in close collaboration with Turnip developers, and are now public.
When using classic render passes from Vulkan, the extension only adds a flag that you can use to mark...
Be Your Own Privacy-Respecting Google, Bing & Brave
Search engines have long been a hot topic of debate, particularly among the tinfoil-hat-wearing circles on the internet. After all, these platforms are in a unique position to collect vast amounts of user data and identify individuals with unsettling precision. However, with the shift from traditional web search, driven by search queries and result lists, to a LLM-powered question-and-answer flow across major platforms, concerns have grown and it’s no longer just about privacy:
Today, there’s increasing skepticism about the accuracy of the results. In fact, it’s not only harder to discover new information online, but verifying the accuracy of these AI-generated answers has become a growing challenge.
