Why leave off the part of the quote that said "and publishing"? I assume an accident, buf if you include that in the quote, you will understand how the situation is different. The concern about ideals is how they chose the target

I can understand it's highly unusual. I don't have an absolute fear or no fear of doing business in the UK, it just ups my "riskometer" I mentioned. Surely it is clear that a vindictive government raiding a visitor and p

I don't work at FB and wouldn't (nor do I even have an account), but even I can recognize that to many the benefits of FB outweigh the negatives. In a tech-centric board such as this one coupled with media/government-driven n

Ah, that would make more sense. So not generated mutable files aren't necessarily static assets? The wording is a bit confusing, because when one reads "Static assets are the files [...] that are generated from a build of a web ap

Can you clarify, if I add a JS line to my file, I should version that JS file as a never-ever-changing static asset to be cached? It is a build artifact. And if I make a change daily (or more frequently w/ CD), have 365 of those versio

Well of course, ironically that general statement is true sometimes. But in this case, I think a general, absolute stance on digital ownership is folly.

I don't believe either of those are necessarily true. They would be if you changed "in business" to "growing".

We all have wants, but I can't blame FF for not pursuing them if the numbers in the link can be believed. Safari has a much smaller adoption rate than even FF, so it could be argued FF are doing more things right. On a link about deskt

There are less regressive ways to incentivize change. Taking money from people hurts the people that rely on money more. Rather, investment and encouragement of particular industries is less punitive, but again goes back to valuable spendin

My comment is about consistency of acceptable response, not about my personal GDPR beliefs. The GDPR has been debated ad nauseam on this board that I don't think a subthread about it here has value.

I completely agree if they can reasonably risk it. However for those that feel similarly about the expanse, overreach, and unjustness of the GDPR, are they similarly courageous in ignoring the law? If their motives are the exact same as her
