  • Of course it does. This particular change may seem innocuous in itself, but the idea of compliance with ridiculous laws like this one, in one jurisdiction, being implemented in a project used globally will result in compromising everyone’s privacy/security, regardless of whether they are even subject to that law or not.

    If anything, it’s more troubling for those outside the relevant jurisdiction, since we get 0 say on the laws, and have no actual reason to comply.



  • Precisely. SSD puts the decorations in the hands of your window manager, which allows you to customise what information and controls are available in the title bar (or if you even want to display one at all), so you can use the space much more efficiently. With CSD, you’re down to the whims and opinions of the application, and their space-wasting choices (and whether they even choose to respect your theming).









  • Possible counterpoint: their use as a generic is isolated within the US (maybe some other countries, but certainly not universal), whereas ‘google’ has arguably become a pretty global term (at least in the Anglophone world, and I believe in some other languages, too), so the reach is very different in scope.

    (e.g. Despite Kleenex still a big brand in the UK, nobody uses it as a generic. The product is called a ‘tissue’)







  • They’re referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:

    border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );
    

    My guess (hope!) is that this is not ‘serious’ code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it’s possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).
