~~i would be surprised if it is true that "If you don’t remove that it shows your personal account to anyone who receives it so that they can chat directly with you", and a search just now didn't find anything to substantiate that.~~

It’s a very recent change

~~is it though? if so, how do you actually find out the profile name from the si parameter?~~

~~obviously tracking parameters from URLs should be removed in any case, but afaict only google can use this to find which user generated the link.~~

after some more reading i found conflicting reports but i think this might actually be happening; apparently it is only visible in the app?

i don't recommend Arch smh

No, SVG files are not HTML.

~~Please change this post title (currently "today i learned: svg files are literally just html code"), to avoid spreading this incorrect factoid!~~

~~I suggest you change it to "today i learned: svg files are just text in an html-like language" or something like that.~~ edit: thanks OP

SVG is a dialect of XML.

XML and HTML have many similarities, because they both are descendants of SGML. But, as others have noted in this thread, HTML is also not XML. (Except for when it's XHTML...)

Like HTML, SVG also can use CSS, and, in some environments (eg, in browsers, but not in Inkscape) also JavaScript. But, the styles you can specify with CSS in SVG are quite different than those you can specify with CSS in HTML.

Lastly, you can embed SVG in HTML and it will work in (modern) browsers. You cannot embed HTML in SVG, however.

the famous "This incident will be reported" error was briefly removed last year before being replaced with a less ominous version.

I'm disappointed in arstechnica for only supporting their provocative headline (Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine) with this vagueness in the article:

While Cavanaugh delivered his opening statement, Mehta even appeared briefly confused by some of the references to today's tech, unable to keep straight if Mozilla was a browser or a search engine. He also appeared unclear about how SEM works and struggled to understand the options for Microsoft to promote Bing ads outside of Google's SEM tools.

What did he actually say?!
