Is this the positive alternative to n-gate?

What's also surprising is how bad Google is at processing these requests. It’s almost like a PR stunt. I’ve had to use their EU Privacy Removal form in the past and a single response can take anything from a few days to several weeks t

Every privacy-focused push by Apple – or anyone, really – forces publishers to find less invasive methods for engaging with their audience, without having to rely on skewed data and grotesque tracking. How could that be bad for journalism?

It depends a lot on the context if that context is React. CSS in JS in retrospect looks like a shim for react developers who couldnt rewrite their code to single-file components like in Vue and later Svelte. You dont have to be a genius to

Complex manipulation can easily be done with a preprocessor. You can work around the other issues you mention by just, well, learning css instead of fighting against it.

Good point. In Safari's case the redesign "tab as button" approach makes sense for the overall UI approach, whereas Firefox only made it half way.

I don't understand the argument against proprietary software. Luckily it's free to download and try, so you might as well start now :^)

Add subtitles and translation to ads and you're safe. Now that I think about it this may unironically be a decent selling point.

Spot on. Browser competition nowadays is all about each vendor's ability to implement new standards – and in this case Firefox is clearly lagging.

The tab redesign is such a nonissue. "Is it a tab or is it a button". UI is very contextual, and in Firefox's case they're very obviously tabs.

You can always start using Sublime Text.

The fact the modern UI design has become as homogeneous as it is nowadays is a blessing that's hard to appreciate sometimes. I have to admit I still miss the early to mid 2000s era when customisation was more or less expected of every

If the frustration came mostly from bloated CMSs like Wordpress I would suggest taking a look at newer (and specially) headless platforms like Sanity.io

Interesting. It seems like the biggest bottleneck in javascript parallelism will always be serialization. Time to learn rust and wasm i guess.

Extended typefaces in heavier weights have sort of become the norm for expressive brands nowadays. Take a look at Dropbox. The ink traps are exaggerated but it looks pretty balanced overall.

Am I the last one to realise the Discord logo is supposed to look like a console controller?

Sounds quite on brand to me!

The thing is, buildings are being built cheaply but most people can’t afford to make a different choice: https://twitter.com/dreamboatslim/status/1382282414374932482

I agree with the sentiment but disagree with the metaphor. The truth is that software development is still a young profession with new standards still being, well, developed. Also the quality of software is much more at risk of being deteri

I'm thinking of this as well. Given how frontend frameworks like Svelte are moving towards a "framework as compiler" approach and how newer runtimes like are Deno now support compiling to a self-contained standalone binary, m

This is very appealing considering the limitations of client side hydration svelte still has – though I wonder where this stands in relation to the upcoming release of SvelteKit.

Everyone wishes it was that simple. The truth is people are irrational and so are the motivations behind “cancelling” someone. I reread Jon Ronson’s book on public shaming some time ago and it seems more relevant now than it did when it was

Fingerprinting and profiling in general just makes me not want to use the internet sometimes. I stopped using gmail at the very least. Maybe I should start using a VPN.

So Notion is essentially a CMS now. I still wonder what one could realistically do with the API other than small quirky experiments

Not sure what you mean. This is way less of a problem as it was even 5 years ago. Even a modern tool like Babel, which was pretty much mandatory in webdev build is becoming less important given the pace at which browsers standardise specs n
