That was some time ago. According to Yegge, Gas Town is now stable and ready for everyday use. > Gas Town “just works.” It does its job, it has tons of integration points, and it has been stable for many weeks. People are using it to bui

As I understand it, the author wrote to Flock as they are the entity collecting the PII. Your analogy would only make sense if the author had written to Flock's customers (and even then it's a rather strained comparison).

A valid point, and maybe I should have phrased it differently. I've deleted the comment which used the word "misinformed", so as not to cause any confusion. My point is simply that the Ofcom quote clearly states that user com

> Raw HTML/CSS/JS are out of distribution just like assembly (no one builds apps like this) Plenty of people build apps with vanilla CSS and JS (and HTML is just HTML). It's a really nice way to work. Here are a few links

By that reasoning, nobody would engage in discriminatory hiring practices (or indeed discriminatory behaviour in general), because it's against the law. That is clearly not the case. As such, I really don't see why you have a prob

For the avoidance of doubt, you won't donate to Thunderbird because you disagree with the following policy? > We do not discriminate on the basis of race [...], religion [...], gender, gender identity, gender expression, color, nati

Here's an alternative way of thinking about this... Someone probably expended a lot of time and effort planning, thinking about, and writing an interesting article, and then you stroll by and casually accuse them of being a bone idle c
