It's not 100% good though :) I'm a user and I wouldn't touch "signin with Apple" with a 10 foot pole. That's waaaay too much lock-in.

I think it's adorable that anyone actually believes Apple is concerned with user privacy. Sorry to burst your bubble but you can read all about how hypocritical Apple is about your privacy right here on HN - https://news.yco

Oh? Microsoft got in trouble for using the Windows monopoly to 1.) gain market share for their free browser and 2.) forcing OEMs to not sell alternative operating systems so they could keep their Windows monopoly. You can read all about tha

Apple is the most petty entity that I have to deal with on a regular basis. They refuse to automatically capitalize the words Linux or Windows but they'll practically force you to capitalize the phrase "app store" even though

No problem! I'm sorry too. I am not a master of disagreeing well. I got better at it in person, but online I still just sort of let my opinions out. I've sometimes had a habit of being a harsh critic and I've had to temper th

Glad to help, but I'm honestly not sure exactly what I said that could be construed as a personal attack or a flame. My best guess: saying that I think people who are having problems with their computers are doing something wrong?

Hmmm, well one doesn't pull obvious reasons out of ones ass. Obvious reasons are made obvious by simply existing... and the "Apple tax" seems like an obvious problem to me which is why I referred to it as being obvious in the

So, nothing more than ambiguous conjecture? Got it. Well, I'm pretty happy using it and I certainly don't lose any sleep over Facebook having built it. Quite the opposite - I thank them for it! Nobody can take away my rights to fr

The WordPress group isn't part of the community? That it's a big org is a distinction you're making, not me. Open source communities are full of big organizations. And now that the genie is out of the bottle anyone can do as

Facebook is a steward not a dependency. React has been free and open source and largely driven by the needs of the community. Right down to that time when the community cried out about Facebook's odd license clause regarding patents. A

I just want it to open my default browser on the first click. There's a setting for that now. Otherwise the history is lost, among other things.

Why not just raise your prices so high that they go away? There's nothing ethically, morally or legally wrong with that right? Alternatively if you aren't encumbered with scruples, take the job, give really lengthy estimates, do b

It's an embedded browser. When I click a web link in an app, I want my browser app to open it. There's no option in Google maps to do this.

Are copyrights like trademarks? i.e. if you don't enforce them, they stop existing? That would be convenient.
