But they don't have in-house capabilities precisely because of the above-mentioned enshittification cycle: CEO-monkey does not care about long-term. CEO-monkey lowers costs today. CEO-monkey moves on to new job soon.

If the money is good enough, they will make a "grandfathered" exception. Modern ICANN is not about policies for policies' sake.

TBH, I'd be surprised if they kept significant amounts around for longer, for the simple reason that it costs money. Yes, drives are cheap, but the electricity to keep them online for months and years is definitely not free, and physic

I think it's more to do with the fact that the official ethos is all about staunch sacrifice in the face of continuous suffering and inflexible rules. People end up trying to get some relief any way they can, looking for a bit of joy i

Bending Spoons is a weird beast. Nobody likes them and nobody likes working for them, but they are loved by capital markets - they seem to have an endless stream of money coming in to finance acquisitions. They will buy anything, strip it

Nah, we still have all those issues and more. The hard truth is that XML lost to the javascript-native format (JSON). Any JavaScript-native format would have won, because "the web" effectively became the world of JavaScript. XML w

This is it. It's a well-established gym chain, their core business is getting subscriptions and making it hard to unsubscribe - not development. If you're lucky, they have a couple of in-house web developers working on website and

It's not new, no - the position has been the same since at least the XIX century, when Britain gave asylum to European insurrectionalists. But it's always been fundamentally hypocritical: being "free" to complete a sente

The hypocrisy is in touting that there is such a space, in order to gain points for freedom in international relations, then conveniently discard the pretense whenever it suits the authority.

Britain has always been very hypocritical about freedom of speech. Take for example "Speaker's Corner", an area of Hyde Park were police will tolerate any sort of speech - except that, if there are complaints and the speech i

I love XKCD, but this particular strip has been used to justify all sorts of arbitrary and negative decisions. XSLT support is not a bug.

The fact that it already has categories for most hobbies but absolutely nothing for cars, motorbikes, or any mechanical engineering-related topic, makes me sad. I know it's not their fault - young people simply don't care anymor

The funny thing is that none of those aims will be achieved with this act. The only way to make the net safe is by turning it into a heavily-sanitized cage, where only government-approved players are allowed; an outcome that the average vot

Let's be honest, XUL was a pain for a number of mozilla-specific choices (rdf...). A lighter, better XUL would be absolutely fine.

You're basically correct, but this isn't due to a philosophical choice. Simply speaking, XSLT stopped evolving before Ajax really got popular, and it was eventually purged from most browsers altogether on security grounds. So nobo
