Slack uses Electron, doesn't it?

As long as it doesn't mimic the browser. (Another reason why user agent strings and other ways websites can identify the user's browser are a bad idea).

If you need to spam this everywhere, please at least disclose that it's your project.

You can always disable updates if you want. And what alternative stores specifically cannot do is install/update apps without having Android itself ask for confirmation again. So even if you manually order the store to install/upd

Once JIT is disabled, webapps are no longer viable. Which means we can start to deprecate features content-based websites don't need, and eventually, JS itself.

That applies to EEA members too.

I understand "The schools have been closed too long" as "The schools should open again".
433.
by anoncake 5y ago
Whether schools open is a decision made by public authorities. How is it not political?

It makes their policies appear sensible.

This.

Sorry. But if you had designed the English language better, not making "It" and "I" so similar, this wouldn't have happened.

> it'd rather treat devices as things that we lease for a low cost from a vertically-integrated company. It's weird how you defend Corporations' private property while apparently disliking the idea of personal property.

No, I think JS as a whole should be removed completely independently of what any company decided. Websites in general aren't trustworthy, which means they can't be trusted to determine the browser's behaviour. > Also, MS o

I don't think so. Not only was grandma not protected after all (if it even was Covid that she died of), she wasn't even allowed to have her family with her. And really: Emotional arguments like that help no one. Yes, people suffer

Why? That's hardly the fault of, say, the Swiss.

While the situation is better on Android, not using the Play Store isn't a real option in most cases. Alternative stores cannot provide auto updates.

That's what web devs like to pretend. Then they are surprised when browser developers continue developing their browsers. If you want to develop an app, develop an app, not a website. Use Electron or its mobile equivalents if you must.

That is not at all the same thing. People aren't randomly assigned to jobs.

How does firing people unable to be productive increase their prosperity?
446.
by anoncake 5y ago
And rightly so. Value may be subjective, but cost – and thus the correct price of a good – is not.

Yes, that's the technical definition, which no layperson cares about.

In principle yes, but you'll need to convince birds to wear masks.

During the last year, we have done more than enough to protect old people for the time being.

Then that definition is garbage. How bad a disease is does not depend on how bad you expect it to be.
