Of course you can use XML that way, but it is unnecessarily verbose and complex because you have to make decisions, like, whether to store things as attributes or as nested elements.
I stand by my statement that if you’re saving things to a file you should probably use XML, if you’re transferring data over a network you should probably use JSON.
Yes and it is a good thing we don’t anymore.
IMHO: XML is a file format, JSON is a data transfer format. Reinventing things like RSS or SVG to use JSON wouldn’t be helpful, but using XML to communicate between your app’s frontend and backend wouldn’t be either.
do they do that in xml? never seen that
I’ve been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.
I think it originally did under old Unix, it was what /home is nowadays; “Unix System Resources” is a backronym.
That is the reason why you’re glad you don’t have kids? Because if you did you wouldn’t be able to control what information they receive?
Debian is food at peaceful !
yeah but tbh if you buy your groceries from amazon you probably didn’t care about data privacy at all ever
I bought groceries online a few times during the pandemic, never before or after that, and not on Amazon, only at a grocery store chain’s web shop. Good luck recommending anything to me based on what I eat.
No it wouldn’t, but people would only see them if they were part of a preexisting community where such things are posted or they specifically looked for them.
On the Internet, censorship happens by having too much information for our limited time and attention span, so going after recommendation algorithms will work.

If you think Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were good for the world then I don’t know what to tell you.
The FSF isn’t exactly what you think of when you hear the words “large tech company”… but you could argue that in some ways it is one couldn’t you… 😁😛
The more obscure a web page is, the more likely it is to be indexed only by the large search engines (i.e. Google). There are search queries that return 0 results on DDG, but quite a few (relatively) obscure websites on Google. This is simply because the more money a search engine operator has, the more websites it will index.
So what you want is kind of contradictory.
social media will be another tool to manufacture consent, break up movements, and preserve itself over the interest of the governed.
it already is that, or did you miss the stories about Biden administration officials meeting with Facebook, TikTok etc about “content moderation”?
OsmAnd (another OSM-based app) allows you to set underlay maps from external sources which will be downloaded from those external sources as needed. I do not know if Organic Maps has this feature too but it can clearly be done.
If that were true, Disney and similar companies should be lobbying for the abolition or at least weakening of copyright, which we can tell isn’t the case.
What is the difference between USA and USB?
One connects to all your devices and accesses your data, the other is a hardware standard.
