The year is 2030.

Computers boot directly into the browser. IDEs are just a web app now, running in the GPU. No one knows why. Or how.

All programs run in 4 nested containers on top of a hypervisor abstracting over the 5 major computational clouds. The last time a branch was predicted correctly, in any CPU anywhere, was 4 years ago.

Cloud costs are withdrawn directly from your retirement fund.

Ext7 just came out, it's written in Javascript and uses AI to guess what the file may contain.

@chrisg my husband thinks this isn't very funny.
He is wrong.

@chrisg that last correct branch prediction was part of a spectre attack.

@chrisg I know a language with a web browser IDE. It seems like its the only way to make Faust apps now.

Mocking Google for their totally-not-an-attempt-to-DRM-the-Web is the right thing to do.

Open issues on the proposal repo and let them know what you think.

Politely.

But, don't be fooled. Even if they take this back, it doesn't change how they think. This is their intention. They just failed to slip it by this time.

The answer is to take power away from Google. Stop using their stuff. Build alternatives. It's not easy, but it's the only way.

And mock them. That's always fun.

As long as you buy and use a company's products they really don't care what you think.

There has been a shift with corporations and politicians. You can't shame them, they don't care if you hate them.

If you do business with a company that is all the approval they need, you're paying them to do what they do.
