Chrome limit is 2MB, Firefox is 1MB, WebKit is no limit.

Here is the Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky:

For what it's worth, there might be a 2GB limit on the iOS side.

Incredible.

My absolute favorite thing about modernity is how enabled we are to riff on a riff of a riff.

In 1346, if a blacksmith came up with something cool, its quite possible that it died with them.

One thing I've learned from checking up on assumptions I've had about history is that it's easy to underestimate people in past times. They were probably better at communicating this stuff than you think.

This unfortunately immediately crashed my android firefox nightly browser. Amusingly it loaded the page, but one click on the address bar sent me straight to the home screen

For me on IronFox it showed an empty URL bar but loaded after what felt like 5 seconds.

Interesting, in Firefox mobile (actually fennec) if I tap the address bar, I get an empty text box.

EDIT: actually I can edit the URL, but it takes a while to load.

I can open the page with the book text on mobile Safari, but iOS seems to cut off content when trying to copy/share the page URL. I can't get it to survive a round-trip to Notes. Might be a good thing to note for mobile users that if they write too much attempting to save their link will corrupt it.

hmmm makes me wonder if you could train llms on gzipped text. would save a lot of tokens that way.

I find it interesting that when you read this comment, the whole book is already on your computer. And it gets rendered when your press the link.

Edit: actually not true since you use a url shortener

First time I tried to open that link on my Pixel, it crashed Chrome, lol. Worked the second time though

LOL Tapping the address bar crashed my Chrome on mobile.

loaded OK for me on mobile safari.

Loaded fine for me too -- but like parent, tapping the address bar to share afterwards crashed it on Android here :)

My Firefox on mobile seemingly handled it fine.

Works fine on Win11 Edge
