It definitely misleads the reader for the reasons you mentioned.

These types of sentences are called garden-path sentences. You can read some typical examples here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence#Examples


That's not the reason, but the excuse. The reason Firefox doesn't have jxl is that it is funded by Google, and someone at Google decided that it has to die.

Also the parent comment was about that you really shouldn't just let a random Russian guy run any javascript on any website you visit, that's stupid.

Also also, am I missing something, or Firefox extensions are broken, there is no way to limit an extension to websites (allow or disallow), or even just to check the source code of an extension?


The link I posted shows that Jpeg-XL will come to Firefox, and that that same Google is the one making that possible by writing a secure implementation.

> That's not the reason, but the excuse. The reason firefox doesn't have jxl is that it is funded by Google, and someone at Google decided that it has to die.

So what, you think they were just lying when they said that they'll ship JXL when it has a Rust implementation? You think Mozilla devs were just bluffing when they were working directly with the JXL devs over the last year to make sure everything would work right?


No, I don't think they can withhold support if it's a no-brainer to support it. But they also tried everything they could to not support it.

If you often click these types of articles and they all say XLibre, then it is probably the best tool for what you want to achieve.


So you think that the Canadians or the Danish love you for your skin color(?) but you don't do the same, and just threaten them and take their lands? This doesn't make any sense.

Remember how Denmark supported the illegal creation of Kosovo without a UN resolution, on the basis of self-concocted EU rules? Today they’re being subjected to something similar. Thank you Donald Trump for holding these hypocrites to account

> Plenty of ebooks with built-in illumination, you know.

If your screen has built-in illumination then you might want to use a white-on-black theme. Mostly everything supports it, txt readers, epub readers, pdf readers (pdf.js not yet, but other pdf readers).


punished by whom?


> Does anyone say "we don't know if Einstein could do this because we were really close or because he was really smart?

Yes. It is certainly a question if Einstein is one of the smartest guy ever lived or all of his discoveries were already in the Zeitgeist, and would have been discovered by someone else in ~5 years.


Both can be true?

Einstein was smart and put several disjointed things together. It's amazing that one person could do so much, from explaining the Brownian motion to explaining the photoeffect.

But I think that all these would have happened within _years_ anyway.


Yes, it is best to use Meta/Windows key for system related actions (copy/paste, screenshot, application start, various windowing actions), and let Ctrl and Alt be used by the applications.


Flagged for the title implying men have no rights. That's totally uncalled for and I hope such submission titles are not allowed here.


I don't think this title implies this. The title says "There were sexualised AI images of women and children, and the UK threatens X over this". What more than this do you read in this title?

Is there actually a significant number of problematic sexualised AI images of men on X that the title fails to mention? If not, the follow-up question would be: what are you actually complaining about, exactly?

Women are often sexualised, way more than men. Would it be more comfortable to you if this fact was invisibilized?


The title is the title of the article published by the Guardian. It has not been editorialised by the person submitting the article. If you have an issue with the title of the article flagging the submission is not hugely useful. Email the editor.


I agree with the underlying point and the social bias it reflects (which i have experienced myself) but the title here is (as usual) just the article so The Guardian is to blame rather than HN.

I think the solution is not to disallow the titles, but to comment on them and draw attention to the sexism in the article.


The solution is absolutely disallow offending titles. The same principle that would make HN moderators take down a "Kill all the Jews" title from the front page should apply for this one too.

Submission titles should be the original article titles, as long as those aren't problematic.


Its not as offensive.

I agree this is problematic, but I am inclined to see it as an opportunity to discuss the problem and illustrate how widespread it is. We can also mention real issues, such as about half of all domestic abuse victims in the UK are male (if you count emotional abuse, otherwise its still 40%), more than half of rapes in the US are of men (because of the huge number of prison rapes), etc.


Agree 100% and thanks for bringing this up.

Sexual abuse towards men is as prevalent as it is towards women.


The HN title is true to the source and should not be flagged.
