In this week’s totally grassroots and natural discussion topics I keep seeing these two themes repeated over and over again (here and elsewhere): Open source developers should be paid employees - nay they must be! - oh and Firefox sucks. Boy does it suck. They’re going to be just like Chrome, just watch.
It’s like the “No for real bro I totally love paying for YouTube what the hell is wrong with you you freeloader” shit all over again.
I don’t feel like an oligarch.
I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.
“that boner” or “that ‘boner’”?
God I know, Twitter is just the worst!
“I want to press the button - an essay” - actually funny stuff! I didn’t expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!
Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?
I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still “redesign the approach” (ie: start over).
Hexbear is… I’m just old I guess, I don’t understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I’m reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it’s hexbear.
But I don’t exactly understand why. I can’t see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing… all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don’t have enough information about to understand.
Doesn’t seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.
There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.
That’s because Christian apologists constantly brigade those articles.
Edit: lol, and downvote lemmy comments I guess
Tin-foil hat time but I’d be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they’ve managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I’m increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.
Nobody:
Russia: Imma turn every government in the world fascist!
What could go wrong?
Not when you have to make a web app render identically in them, which is what the OP was about.
I deleted my original comment before you replied because I am not really in the mood to defend this but the OP was talking about the pain of developing for different browsers and I don’t care what is a fork of what, this is a fact: Chrome, Firefox and Safari all render differently and have to be catered to individually.
Also, Safari, between desktop and mobile, has 30% of the market to Firefox’s 8%.
I don’t LIKE it, but there are “effectively” three, not two, rendering engines.
haha Safari would like a word.
What’s bullshit are the cherry-picked numbers on the chart and the jumpy x-axis.
Edit: Article here quotes McDonalds as stating the Big Mac is up 21% since 2019. Sources elsewhere say the sandwich price is actually down since both 2014 and 2019, so who knows. If anything, I would expect Subway to have a higher point on the graph than it does.
I went there too. I think you’re underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.
Hell of an effect and something I’ll never forget.
And Quark’s bar man. It was so cool.
No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.
Good for them. The people deliberately killing Facebook, I mean.
No, they still exist.
