I'm not saying they haven't earned this kind of treatment necessarily, but it is a little exhausting how much negativity and assumption of bad faith there is here in the commentary on more or less everything Google does. This even is just an explainer of a concept that's implemented by all the vendors, and as far as I know isn't something Google has railroaded.
- jiggawatts 4y agoGoogle is turning into Microsoft the 90s and 2010s. They're not only monopolistic, they abuse that monopoly power often just because they can, in a careless way that only the obscenely powerful can do. That has soured people's opinion of them. Long gone are the days of "Do no evil" in their mission statement. Now evil is just a casual stepping stone on the path of squeezing out every eyeball-second from the products.. err.. I mean "customers".
- dmitriid 4y agoThe only reason they talk about dialog and "how great it is" is because they want to kill a alert/prompt/confirm. https://dev.to/richharris/stay-alert-d https://dev.to/richharris/stay-alert-d Even if they were talking about removing dialog entirely https://twitter.com/voxpelli/status/1423207772498415616 https://twitter.com/voxpelli/status/1423207772498415616 (and none of the issues with dialog have been resolved since) So this top layer bullshit is just a hack to make another hack work. It's not a usable long-term solution, and expect more hacks to deal with this hack in the future.
- nailer 4y agoI mean have you read the Twitter thread defending the web components APIs to a very polite Rich Harris pointing out some rather strange design choices? They’re not nice. They’re an ad company that made good products in the early 2000s.
