The cartoon faces have always been yellow, but the human ones, e.g. hands or gendered faces, were not until 2015 (on iOS). https://emojipedia.org/apple/iphone-os-2.2/ There was a lot of discourse about it at the

Not exactly – the "Homer Simpson" yellow emoji came after the initial (Apple) emoji font, which just had all the humans looking white, with no other options.

This is a pretty clear example of the "make the product worse" ticket, though. The interoperable way has been in use for decades—it's just "use an http:// link like everyone else"—but this is them spendi

It's true this is nice, but it's no replacement for a browser extension, and only does anything while you're at home.

Anecdotally, we already do see a substantial number. Far from 100%, but many of the most popular images on Docker Hub are already multi-arch. The most notable exception is the Docker-maintained MySQL image, but Oracle maintains another whic

The really frustrating thing is that the gap hasn't only been growing. Firefox was far slower than Chrome for a long time, and over the past couple of years pulled off a pretty impressive catch-up, which is why I and others finally w

They’ve definitely zeroed in on it. I think it is understandable, though, from their position—privacy seems most acutely at-risk, at least stateside, and the vast majority of people affected aren’t among those well-informed.

> No PCIe, meaning no eGPUs. How did they look past that? With ease, I imagine. eGPUs are niche at best, and user-serviceable hardware and GPU vendors are two of Apple’s least favourite things. Macs’ support for eGPUs, such as it is, has

Not that I agree with it, but I think the argument is that any workflow but Chrome-first is naïve. Hacker News' righteous fury won't do much to change the fact that 2 in 3 people use Chrome.
