I know you're sarcastic but Bootstrap has been picking up steam recently. The jQuery removal has been in the work since 2017. If you want faster releases then feel free to submit PRs :)

Apart from the fact there is no decent reddit alternative. That is after reddit offered their entire product free with the source code and data (and the data is still offered for free...) If there was going to be an alternative, it would be

It's hilarious, after the event-stream fiasco last year, NPM has changed...Nothing. NodeJS made a 'package maintenance' repo, but failed to address the actual root cause of the problem. We'll see plenty of other NPM disa

They do have humans, but they make mistakes and have bias. And if we need to cover the amount of content Youtube gets per second we'd need a country of people. Oh wait, Youtube have just gone bankrupt.

There are other platforms, like Vimeo or Dailymotion, why aren't people uploading there? Because there's no audience and Youtube is so widely integrated (iOS, Android, Smart TVs etc). But if another platform got to Youtube's

I'm not wanting to defend Youtube entirely but perspective is important with issues like this. Never before in human history have we have had the ability to have a free, unlimited access repository of our endeavors, and allow anyone to

I mean, in all honesty, EdgeHTML wasn't ever really an engine that had much hope. IE has always been loathed, Edge just continued that trend. Their marketshare wasn't great, and tying browser updates to the OS as they did with IE

I think they ought to tread very carefully and very lightly. Imagine if there was an internet where you can't just remove something. Sure, you can see the IP address of the people hosting/distributing the material, but there are n

No, they won't. They've already fined Google billions, but have they got the money? Not a chance. Any fine will be fought for at least a decade (see Oracle v Google) and will end up in limbo forever. They could fine Google $1 tril

If you've got an ISP that considers 54gb a lot of data it's time to get a new ISP, a new country or protesting at how absurd the idea of bandwidth caps are.

Belphemur said it best: before LE SSL/TLS was relatively 'obscure', sure many sites had it, but it was an optional extra that cost a yearly fee. Now, any old joe bloggs can setup a webserver (or use tools like cPanel which ha

Not really. Standards are nice, but as time goes on, things change, and we should NEVER only change things 'once a standard says so'. The web is an ever evolving platform, and standards are loosely respected these days anyway. Hec

It's not part. It's all. It's well known people can claim a video then get ALL the revenue, or disable it altogether. Also, don't get 3 strikes or you're fucked.
