Scalable vector graphics (.svg) files are lightweight, XML-based images that render at any resolution. They’re usually harmless, but they can also contain active code, and hackers appear to be relying on them more often as a means to stealthily deliver malware.

I would give you some advice, but it would probably be in vain.

"Every accusation is ..." comes to mind.

If people wanted to run an app over the internet, they should’ve just run a fucking app written in something that’s actually appropriate for that purpose

Between all the weirdly charged language, this part was especially worthy of a laugh, since this line of argumentation has full symmetry with the one used by mobile carriers that refused to accept the smart phone (iPhone 1 era).

"If you want a camera, buy a camera. Why do you want it on your phone?!"

Maybe you should write a very "insightful" comment about the incompetent deranged Dipshits at Apple and AT&T too.

Oh look! An attempt at supporting an unhinged manic take with some condescension. A staple of fediverse discourse.

Do tell about the ~~golden~~ platinum era of Apache/CGI + Perl/PHP + MySQL + Flash (+ Java applets for the 15 minutes where they were a thing), because I totally wasn't there.
