Yes, yes, don't think, just mock. People being defrauded, injured, poisoned, and dying must be much more efficient. That's the reality that drove the formation of these agencies. I'm sure an inability to trust the safety, qua

Mozilla's argument isn't that you'll be tracked or fingerprinted. It's that you're too stupid to be permitted control over whether or not you want to allow access to devices you've connected to your machine. Ra

Not a product in itself but I've seen one used to prototype an automated testing solution for existing hardware. I'm not sure why it'd be particularly surprising? Their whole thing is being easy to use and quick to iterate wi

I'm hoping to push us that way, some hurdles with getting buy in from the whole team though. That's why I wish DevOps made it a really clear cut choice. There's some really low hanging fruit and silly decisions that spoil the

I moved from Azure to AWS. App Insights, DevOps pipelines, and WebApp slots look like future tech when compared to codepipelines and x-ray. DevOps in particular feels so close to being a really great tool. Not having to jump between 8 diffe

I use FF and prefer the devtools. Chrome's ability to temporarily edit and save changes to JS sources through the debugger editor is fantastic though. Other than that it's mostly just improvements to what FF already has. Search co

It depends on the engine but indy studios are frequently able to port to all of the major platforms: PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. The exclusive addressable market for each is definitely big enough to outweigh porting costs. A good fir

Game streaming is a great option to have but it incentivises the same behaviour we've seen from companies that move to a SAAS model: Charge a monthly fee and remove the option to own the product. Not actually owning the games is a prob

I'd rather we were transitioning towards consumers actually owning their games rather than towards them not being able to run them on their own hardware. We've already seen how this plays out with the proliferation of SAAS and the

People will continue to blame workers regardless. Central banks will continue to raise interest rates, squeezing consumers, and debt laden companies will increase prices further to compensate. The UK has already seen retail volume decouple

I don't necessarily agree. Different countries have different issues but in the case of the UK neo-liberal policy has clearly been the root cause. Social housing stock was sold off, ostensibly to occupiers, at significantly less than m

There's a limited amount of space and a non-negligible portion of society are unable to afford market rates. When the state doesn't build accommodation, citizens end up transferring ludicrous amounts to private landlords to house
