This article is click-bait bullshit.
The title says "Microsoft pushes ahead with controversial ‘buy now, pay later’ feature for Edge browser"
But the text says: "Microsoft has not responded to repeated requests for comment. Given the widespread condemnation of the feature, it may be reconsidering a full rollout – its deal with Zip permitting."
There is zero substance in this article.
And I say the above as a 90's Linux die-hard who loves to bash MSFT.
- throwawaymanbot 5y ago>It may be reconsidering a full rollout This is speculation on the articles behalf, so for all intents and purposes until it is officially nixed, it IS going forward. So you basically have said the article is true and you are just being a little hostile no? Do you work on this browser?
- wildrhythms 5y agoWhat part of 'pushes ahead' is click-bait? Microsoft announced the feature, backlash ensued, and despite the backlash there has been no intention of halting the feature. Is that not 'pushing ahead'?
- colejohnson66 5y ago“Pushing ahead” implies they said something later that ignored the backlash. Such as another announcement. If they’re thinking about what to do now, they’re not “pushing ahead”. Just reconsidering. We won’t know what they’re actually doing until the next announcement.
- wildrhythms 5y agoOh please. What evidence is there that Microsoft is 'reconsidering' this rollout exactly?
