Can you blame them? These companies can steal money from you and pretty much anything else and people will keep using them. Doesn't matter what they do really if there are no major consequences.
These aren't even the real pain points. Most people using Medium aren't using it to discover new content. The CEO clearly has no clue what they are doing.
I get scam calls based on being a previous Xfinity customer and Xfinity got their database hacked and never disclosed the breach. I even had one of those email alias services with a unique Xfinity email address to prove it and Xfinity just ignored the reports.
Agreed. Probably worse than Teams is Azure, Windows, etc. While things have changed Microsoft would give grief to developers that wanted to run Linux and that was really into open source.
At least for Chromium and Android, they are open source and more standard to propose and contribute changes. Yes, Google isn't perfect but they have done a much better job overall for their consumer tools and products.
Edge is continually adding new invasive features. I've had the same policies set for Chrome for some time to remove any telemetry but Edge has a habit of turning things back on that were disabled and trying to push more junk. Chrome has not does this to me and I really don't think your point is accurate, at least not based on my experience and if you compare the two you'll definitely find Edge opting in to much more by default.
How will enabling alternative browsers from Safari's takeover of Apple-based products, somehow bring the end of other browsers elsewhere? If anything this helps prevent that and since Chromium is open source, app creators can distribute their own browsers if so desired. Lots of people like to complain about the lack of having 100 different browsers to choose from with different backend engines, but if it is so easy then feel free to get started on it.
As stated, they are wooing you... At a time when you were let go for having nothing special to offer.
So now you get to decide if you want to be a pawn for the government and entertain their stupid offers so that you can essentially be a monkey in front of a keyboard, or if you want to wait and improve your skills for a time when they are not trying to take advantage of you being jobless and for when you have a newfound confidence in yourself.
Lol... If you believe that then demand an employment agreement that states that. Almost all of society functions through agreements. If your employment agreement states employment is at will then you better believe that they mean it.
Because browser's haven't built enough compatibility with the desktop to use it like a regular app, therefore severely limiting---sometimes intentionally---what you can and can't access on the file system. It is expected sometime in the near future that browsers will have enough sandbox protection that they will then enable app developers to do the same things that only Electron allows but without the excessive bloat you get from Electron versions.
There is also another tool named yq that is Python based, and passes everything through jq. The Go-based yq is pretty awesome, but does have some limitations.
I would have because all his posts are still full of bot spam and crypto scams... But, he certainly has no shortage of bots that upvote and call him king.
Firefox notoriously has bad performance on Linux compared to Chromium. Chromium does a pretty good job at implementing new hardware acceleration features while Firefox just got around to it like a year ago and it is still no where as performant. There is noticeable delays for me on Firefox when doing things like resizing windows in a tiling window manager as well.
It is nice to see logical comments. I brought up the tipping culture issue during COVID-19 cause that is when I saw businesses start exploiting it substantially, and I swear there was some pro-tipping mafia on major message boards that would say you deserve spit in your food is you don't tip, you deserve to be beat up, etc. I believe the service industry is literally engaged in culture wars but fortunately other people have started to wake up to the issues and the discussion is no longer being insta-downvoted like it was before.
