Classy to blame Firefox for bugs in their code :)
If devs write code for Chrome, yeah, maybe then it doesn't work in Firefox guys....
We had exactly this situation in the 90s with internet Explorer.... But new devs need to relearn lessons of course.
The internet archive is becoming one of the most valuable sites on the web, specially to avoid paywalled corpo pages.
If only keyboards would have function keys for this purpose, named F1 to F10 for example, so any program could use them for their specific functions...
I actually don't agree, and the reason is - non tech people. You and me can install plugins but ordinary people don't do that. So the default experience must be good, offering improvements to the experience over Google Chrome.
Otherwise all privacy features could also be plugins. Imagine if that was true. Firefox would have no identity and you would have to install plugins and make it your own.
So some features should be built in. Maybe the ability to get pop-ups about false reviews will actually make users go "wow that is so useful".
It's disgusting. Users browser history is private, just like their search history. Fuck Google.
Companies are often insane. I'm working in one who has this one guy build a super complicated architecture, because he don't know aws. So instead of just using a message queue on aws, he is building Java programs and tons of software and containers to try and send messages in a reliable way. Costs the company huge money, but they don't care, since he is some old timer who has been there for like 10 years and everyone let's him do what he wants.
The mentality of these people are like slave owners.
Subscriptions.
People pay every month but most don't use the sub to it's full value, and forget how expensive it becomes over the years. And you don't own anything on a subscription, you just borrow it.
Also trial periods that prolong automatically into subscriptions.
I asked in the other thread about GDPR.
Nobody thinks it's very interesting but if instances don't follow gdpr, the entire network is at risk of legal consequences.
So please bring this up, even though it's not very fun.
Google "Only spy the web" is highly inaccurate...they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps...
Anyways... I will calm down now. :)
Yes exactly. This is what worries me the most since I also run only Linux, and I can't imagine even being interested in computers anymore if Linux is not allowed on the web. That would be horrific.
It's 100% critically dangerous and must be stopped.
The media loves to make single people heroes because it's easier to sell.
I think in reality, nobody makes anything alone.
