Spaces are still there, but what they have removed is that “X”. It’s simply “MacOS” now.

I understand your skepticism considering the behavior we've seen from some of these companies recently — but when their settlement with the FTC includes an independent company monitoring their handling of user privacy for 20 years, I t

To my knowledge there is and has never been any option to “undelete” your deleted content on Facebook.

I’ve let quite a few people log into the Facebook app on my phone and now I’m pissed. I was always careful with privacy settings on Facebook, but the thought never even crossed my mind of what I’d be “agreeing” to by letting someone briefly

It’s funny how they only want to repeatedly confirm your decision when you give the answer they don’t want. Every time my Facebook messenger app updates it asks me to confirm my phone number (which it already has through some other method).

Perhaps I misunderstood your point. You seemed to ask why people would want to use JS once WASM effectively puts it on a level playing field with other languages.
196.
by scottmf 9y ago
Many of us do want to use JS. The language has evolved a lot over the past few years and people love it. Client-side JavaScript isn't going anywhere. Look how popular Node is despite all the alternatives.

Perfectly sane reason for not signing up with Twitter.

I’ve noticed a lot of posts like this disappear from the front page lately. Anything potentially critical of Trump seems to drop off suddenly.

Trump may be refusing to enact new sanctions (despite passing with bipartisan support) for some “unknown” reason, but the EU doesn’t need his support to implement any new sanctions.

Or hacking election systems and political campaigns and funding extremist and secessionist political parties in the US and EU. And all of their other aggressive actions in recent years. Russia is a rogue state.
