"#JamieZawinski has #repeatedly said:

Now hear me out, but What If…? #browser #development was in the hands of some kind of #nonprofit #organization?

In my #humble but #correct #opinion, #Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

#Building THE #reference #implementation #WebBrowser and
Being a jugular-#snapping #attack #dog on #standards #committees.
There is no 3."
"Perhaps this is the only #viable #resolution."

"#Mozilla, for all its many #failings, has #invented a lot of #amazing #tech, from #Rust to #Servo to the #leading #budget #phone #OS. It shouldn't be trying to #capitalize on this #stuff. Maybe 3encourage it to have semi-independent #spinoffs, such as #Thunderbird, and as #KaiOS ought to be, and as #Rust could have been."
"But #JamieZawinski has the only #clear #vision and #solution we've seen yet. Perhaps he's #right, and #Mozilla #should be a #nonprofit, #working to #fund the one #independent, non-#vendor-driven, #standardscompliant #browserEngine."

Encyclopedia of American Activism 1960 to the Present by Margaret DiCanio, 2016

The turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s spawned a spectrum of activist movements. In spirit and action, events ranged from: gentle to violent; from Tree People to Bloody Sunday; from Community Mental Health to Black Power. This rapid stream of social and political change defined the second half of the 20th century, yet had roots in the first half.

While I am just feeding no-other-obvious-source lisp pieces of my brain to my young kitten, here is principle component analysis in common lisp using an openly available #ML package #clml from a Japanese telco changing hands 15 years ago, actively developed by a lisp lone wolf up until five years ago.

My demo is in english (#emacs #eev #eepitch) in contrast to the Japanese internals.

I just whipped up a simple icon search for Kitten Icons (based on Phosphor Icons). It’s not complete yet – I have a few other things to do before I can get back to it today – but you can play with it here:

And see the code for it here:

I popped the event handler into the Markdown page itself. Not the cleanest but works in a pinch:
