Firefox is no position to make these kinds of moves (7% of desktop users, ~0% of mobile). Taking activist stances on how they want to see the web will serve to do nothing but drive more users away from Firefox.

He didn't go into details of harassment when speaking about it, which is understandable, except that it was about things he said on stream.

I'd give Ben the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake since up to that point he has been a class act. As for the radio silence, I'm afraid that this could be something bad. I've seen other examples of creators doi

Person in question doesn't actually know that they were banned for uploading Python code. While the lack of due process absolutely does suck and I hate to defend google, but reason for this ban is speculation. It could be something els

Excellent! A worth successor to my iPhone 7. I'm happy that they offer a model with only a single camera, as I was scared that I would eventually be forced to upgrade to a model with three cameras, which would be a complete waste for m

Some browsers will not be able to run the game correctly. If this happens, use Firefox instead. Now that made me do a double take.

I have a strange feeling about this tech. Doesn't this help cement Windows as The Standard for gaming? Feels like we're giving up and accepting our fate.

Entirely expected with a garbage headline like that. If it was an actually alarming amount, it would be in the headline (e.g. "up by 50% in one year!").

They might doing the same thing video games do to combat piracy. No DRM is unbreakable, all games are eventually cracked, so why bother? The thought is that it buys enough time during the critical launch window to sway people who will have

I feel incredible dissonance about John Carmack working for Oculus and by extension, Facebook. Especially when things like this come to light.

Is the yellow background some sort of a inside joke or satire? For me it is unreadable without changing it through the browser's dev tools.

I feel like I'm the only one who made peace with Blizzard dying as we knew it shortly after Activision acquisition. They sold out, this happens all the time. Everyone else seems to be clinging on to "old Blizzard" like it

Correct me if I'm wrong: 1) this is an effort to provide an abstract graphics API for any OS/CPU instruction set 2) it is rust and therefore usable from rust and C(++). If so, great news! Maybe we'll one day be free from tyra
