That's simple. Gecko is awful to embed and use independently of Firefox. Now my question would be why not WebKit, as that is also easy to embed. There are browsers that use WebKit, just not that many.

The page gives very poor idea what your app actually does. I honestly have no clue.

Yes. And because privacy-for-commerce is morally wrong for almost all definitions of morality, then I guess privacy-for-speech is also morally wrong.

They are planning to integrate their own sketchy crypto-coin, I think they will get money from that. Although not sure how is that going, haven’t heard about MobileCoin for months now

Notice how most of the people in this video are white guys. Most women are there to serve the guys. That's how it is in crypto utopia.

It's good that they started with the most important thing when they want to live on an island with no infrastructure and unclear jurisdiction. A 3D animated video. I think Taiwan and Hong Kong are looking at this with awe.

This is so dumb. If you don't want fortune 500 corps to use your software, use license like Affero GPL, nobody will touch it. Don't put it in MIT.

I'm in Vietnam, the results are wrong. I put the movie "Twilight" (the vampire cheesy movie) and the results show me that there is no option, while it is on Netflix. https://www.movieofthenight.com/movie/

I just don’t understand why is it called “web3” when it’s emphatically not a part of world wide web . Web 2.0 was. Web 2.0 is an extension of the web. Original Web 3.0 was some kind of semantic web vaporware with XML or something, but it w

Stuff like this is why I am pro-union, even when I am not a socialist or whatever. Employers have all the power over employees, they share data indiscriminately, they have all the information and power. It's only fair that employees ha

The information is never really that deep and I have no idea what I’m actually looking at.

What kind of hash table is O(1)? Or did I forgot everything from university already? You cannot have a general O(1) hash Well maybe in best case/average case, when you design the hash space big enough. Ugh I really did forgot everythin

It's market unfortunately. People want it, and they want their faces to look better than in reality, to post on Instagrams. The phone that has better pictures got better sales.

I guess. The fact is, modern javascript is FAST. And with http3, and compression, you can make things load really REALLY fast. Much faster than in 1994! And you have things like tree shaking where you can make the js tiny. Not speaking abou

Why does tracking and advertising take so much time to load and display? I would not really mind ads and being tracked if it didn't make internet sometimes literally unusable? "bloated frameworks"... I remember when React was

This just makes me angry. Browsers are now so fast and capable that you can emulate whole OS with another browser in them, which you can then use to browse . So why does half of the websites in 2021 feel so sluggish? GMail, which was famou

Crushing linux is one thing. PUBLICLY changing Copyright notice in MIT software and keeping the history online is another thing.

This is very obviously a mistake and I don’t know how can anyone assume otherwise.

I always feel bad for Zune, because it honestly was not that bad to become a joke; on the other hand, it was crazy late - it debuted the same year as iPhone did! iPhone (and iPod touch) had an actual WiFi and later apps, while Zune had...

Yeah that's what you get for working at a large company. The good thing: they pay is pretty good, and you can reasonably get away with doing absolutely nothing and get paid awesomely. The bad thing: nothing gets done and there are 4 la

Yeah 90s design in general was quite good. Too bad the actual stability of these systems was horrid (both OS 8/9 and Windows 95).
