When the United States took over. 1945. The only thing that remained is that the Lingua Franca of the world is English. I have a French friend who is constantly annoyed at that fact.

Re: [OT] The Fall of the British Empire???
The English think so. After all: Wales, Scotland, N Ireland, do appear to constitute an Empire if you look at them from isolationist, Brexitland. Ask Boris Johnson: if you stand behind him at waist height you'll recieve an answer in suitably rumbling Churchillian terms.

Re: [OT] The Fall of the British Empire???
Empires these days are strictly economic. In fact, it was always that way. Forget California, which has the 6th largest GDP in the world. Texas and New York combined would also come in at #6, and just beat GB. England was #1 until 1916, when guess who took over.

Re: [OT] The Fall of the British Empire???
Well, I’ll grant you that a sound economic footing was essential for building an empire. But I hardly think that economics = imperialism. There have been a lot of prosperous nations in history that had no interest in conquest, and there have been empires built by invading armies that by our standards were dirt poor. I give you the Mongols for instance. Bob S > On Nov 17, 2023, at 1:39 PM, Craig Newman via use-livecode > wrote: > > Empires these days are strictly economic.

Browser widget error
Hi, I’m getting an error from the browser widget. I only see it when I’m running in Sonoma on an M2 Mac mini. All earlier Macs (Ventura and earlier) don’t trigger it. This is part of a routine that sets JS handlers to control the playing of a YouTube movie in the browser. I created a small sample stack to file a bug report, but actually got that one to work with no errors. The source stack is still showing errors, and I can’t seem yet to track down what’s causing it. The calls still function, but pop up the error box. The errorDialog message shows this. I guess that some explanation of specifically what the error is in "error evaluating javascript” would be helpful: 863,0,0,runtime 864,0,0,error evaluating javascript 865,0,0,browser.lcb 866,0,0,1007 897,0,0,1 865,0,0,browser.lcb 866,0,0,999 897,0,0,1 This is in LC 10.0.0-dp-6, the version of LC that seems to function best with this Sonoma M2 Mac. I have found that this computer is so fast, errors appear such that I had to do some adjusting of the timing of events.
