Needs significant UI polish IMO. Anyone from the Zulip team care to chime in if there's appetite for this? I could take a look at contributing if so. Just the project getting to this level of maturity without significant polish sort of triggers the "maybe maintained by people who just don't value it that much" alarms?
OK, but if the solution is to brute-force them, there's probably a need to choose which files to focus on.
Of course there are other content-types, e.g. searching for "Content-Type: image/jpeg" gets hits as well. But only a few of them actually have the base64 data, mostly there are just the MIME headers.. Looking for "/9j/" (which is Base64 for FF D8 FF, which is the header for JPEG files), the Trumpian justice.gov website ignores "/" and shows results case-insensitively, but there are 4 or 5 base64'ed JPEG images in there.
I also saw that the page is vulnerable to code injection, somehow garbage in one search result preview was OCREd as "<s [lots of garbage]>", and the rest of the search results were striken-through because "<s>" is the HTML to do that.
Today gmail labelled an email coming from google search console as potentially dangerous, however it was because it couldn't properly do spam filtering on the email.
It's unusable even with the "user-friendly" distros like Mint and Ubuntu. Starting with the fact that Mint and Ubuntu don't even agree on what window system to use.
I don't understand. First, how is that a problem? Second, why is it the default expectation that different operating systems will have the same set of flaws?
Fragmentation makes compatibility and help-finding more difficult. And newbies do get the expectation that the mainstream options aren't all that different, cause that's what everyone tells them.
You kind of moved the goalpost there. That's different from them being unusable. Windows and OSX are different from each other too, are they unusable as well?
I didn't say that fragmentation is the only thing that makes them unusable, it's just one of many. Yeah it is a big thing though.
People do have difficulty switching between Mac and Windows, but each has critical mass so it's still easy to get help with the finer details. And unrelated to fragmentation, anyone tech literate won't have nearly as many showstopping issues to ask about there in the first place.
The big problem isn't friendliness, it's that you don't buy a laptop with it installed. Most people are not realistically going to install a different operating system, they're going to use the one the laptop comes with.
I am quite sympathetic towards Tuxedo, and am considering to replace my work laptop (a 6yr old MBP) with one of those when it stops working, but those are Apple and gaming laptop prices, not mass market prices.
