  • If you mean front end developers, then yes, that's me.

    First, it's not front end's responsibility to sanitise the input before executing the query because it's not the front end code which operates on the database. What if we have ten front ends? Implement it ten times?

    Second, it's the back end who's executing the query so they are doing it anyway. Doing it in the front end code is a waste of time and electricity.

    It's not a war zone outpost. There is no such thing as multiple layers of security. It's absurd to think that a piece of malicious data "beat up" the security code at the first spot, just to be knocked out by the same security code further down the road. If a piece is code is effectively sanitising the input then the best place to put it is where it's closest to the database, and it only needs to happen once.

  • I downvoted OP as if this is StackOverflow.

    What is the use case for OP for using AI?

    What does OP not like about the current setup?

    What goal is OP trying to achieve?

    What drawback and extra cost is OP willing to take?

    Without providing any of the information, asking such a question, slabbing buzz words like "federated" to the title is just wasting everyone's time. A few days ago there was even a question asking for a "federated browser". (¯―¯٥)

    Despite all these some pals still provided insightful answers. You guys are amazing.

  • I used to use Gboard for Cantonese input. I downloaded fcitx5 reading your comment and tried it for some time. There are some features noticeably missing compared to Gboard.

    • top numeric row
    • single-hand mode
    • simplified and traditional characters selection#

    Found it. It's in the settings bar at the top of the typing area. Click it open and go deep inside it.

    What Gboard and fcitx5 both don't have for Jyutping input is glide typing. I wish fcitx5 have it because it is really what could make me switch and not look back. Gboard in general has better finger tap detection/correction because duh Google had more data to train on. But I will definitely start using fcitx5 because being open source is sufficient for me to switch.

    For languages that isn't supported by its plugins like Japanese, I have to keep using Gboard though.

  • GTK+4 was released? When??

    I've been compiling GTK+3 3.2x, the latest stable version about ten years ago and always wonder will they ever advance the major version. Years of installing XFCE4 and stuff and I always saw them pulling GTK+3 as a dependency. Never seen GTK+ marked 4 though.

    To be fair I haven't visited their official website for a while though.

  • "Last". Yes. In practice, I found eggs in a fridge age by weeks. I would still call them "fresh" within a week. After that, they don't taste as well. Another week after that, visual changes happen on the shell. I can see as if the fluid inside is "breaching" the membrane thus dark spots on the outside. This is the last stage I would still be willing to consume them. After that I would throw them away.

  • Dude, leave the meat alone. Humans have been eating meat for tens of thousands of years and there was never a problem. It's the life style we have which created the demand for cars, deliveries, heavy machinery spinning. Those are bigger enemies. Meat is like you said, a drop in the ocean.

  • Docker is only useful in that many scenarios. Nowadays people make basic binaries like tar into a container, stating that it's a platform agnostic solution. Sometimes some people are just incompetent and only know docker pull as the only solution.

  • What you both said are true. It's convenient to load a site and perform tasks to a degree what native clients can, and it's also weird how since more than a decade ago we can't agree on anything and now we are trying to do everything in a web client.
