   Exactly: They could equally well just skin Chromium and keep on setting Google as the default search engine. That's exactly my point-- Firefox isn't the revenue source, auxiliary services around it are.

   In my previous job I was the lead engineer of the MessengerPeople Unified Messaging API, so congrats, this looks awesome! :) I wonder how you solved media files and attachments? I remember having major headaches around transporting, storing

   Which is why they include rspamd, an open source ML filter. Check out the repository, it’s really a nice solution. I’m not affiliated in any way other than being a happy user.

   Firefox isn’t, and never was, Mozilla’s revenue source.

   You could also consider buying a cheap, low-tier VPS somewhere and install Mailcow ( https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized ). Takes around half an hour to set up, flawless, worry-free, fully-featured email stack

   Well, I think you could definitely stretch it that way, because the Accept header is absolutely intended for situations like this: It lets you specify precisely which content formats you're willing to accept, and in which particular or

   Isn’t that something the `Accept` header would be perfect for?

   Yet, the Oktoberfest is such a small and insignificant detail of our culture. It’s a big party, mostly for tourists. After those two weeks, many people I know take a monthlong abstinence, and life carries on. Binge drinking happens, but it’

   Oof. I’m in the same boat as your younger self, but two years in. I simply slept bad one night, thinking to myself that I love life way too much to actively work on a sooner death than necessary. Next day I quit, never looking back. I can d

    If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your perspective on your purpose in life? I always wondered if the outlook is different for someone starting from Boardwalk instead of Baltic Avenue, so to speak.

    TIL gogo dancers are probably named after a legendary rock club named „Whiskey A Go Go“, which inspired the name of a gene that causes the legs of anesthetized flies to shake similar to once-popular dance moves in said club. Fascinating.

    I can’t comprehend why someone would submit themselves so hard to the American corporate rhetoric. A workplace is neither a family, nor a fellowship. It should not be the center of your life, and certainly not something to fully submit you

    The internet is mainly being used for web apps instead of documents for a while now. Why can’t browser vendors reflect this and provide all those Interfaxe prototypes we need out of the box? Why do we have five bazillion modal libraries ins

    Honestly, I don’t really see your point. Yes, We keep our commit messages as clean and descriptive as possible. Yes, if we have the time, we split our commits into logical groups of changes. Yes, we work on feature branches for mature proje

    With unfortunate, I intended to refer to the way the situation was picked up by the general public: The change to the ToS necessary was only intended to make it easier for businesses to get started with the WhatsApp Business API, not a snea

    As someone formerly working for one of the largest WhatsApp messaging API providers, this whole controversy is really unfortunate. The problem boils down to the way the business API works: as WhatsApp is using e2e messaging, they could not

    No, I actually love CSS variables. But they invariably will be abused in the long term. What you called medium padding might suddenly be decreased to be a value lower than small padding, and that’s the point where it all starts to go to hel

    For me it makes sense to create a component class in that case, using Tailwind‘s `@apply` to add the generic padding: .button { @apply py-2 px-4; } This ensures CI elements are styled the same way everywhere, but still

    From a European perspective, it depends. I wouldn't ever even consider something like Auth0 to store our user records for example, due to the potential legal fallout of storing all our PII on American servers. You have to be really car

    Fair point, although I wasn't referring to simply hoarding every data point you can get but specifically _using_ free users to improve your data set. Obviously this isn't a viable option for everyone. Take a look at Google for a g

    I'm actually doing that currently. We have a large database of company records compiled from different sources. Naturally, some of those records are duplicates. We have cleaned the data as much as it was possible using algorithmic appr

    The article is missing out a huge argument in favour of free plans: the opportunity to generate data. This doesn’t even need to be done in a shady manner - imagine analysing what users usually type in free form boxes, normalise that and bui

    Because that 500 bytes of text have cost the publisher quite a lot to be written, and the other ten megabytes of ads and tracking code account for that. I hate advertisments as much as the next guy, but it's a little astonishing to me
