jsjddbbwj··on Twitter Direct Message Caching and Firefox
Expect to see more of these as fewer and fewer people use Firefox and web developers simply don't try their websites on this browser. And as more websites stop working correctly on Firefox, they will lose more market share. Some kind of spiral, you know?

I was thinking that a rendering bug (which is what one expects from a browser compatibility bug) is not that bad, but when we are talking privacy and security, now that's a problem.

jsjddbbwj··on Coronavirus: Whisky production to resume despite virus concerns
At last, a piece of good news in this sea of woe.
jsjddbbwj··on Apple's MacOS Server has a 1.5/5 rating on the Mac App Store
Why was this submitted? To prove Apple does not manipulate the ratings of their listings? :P
jsjddbbwj··on Google Open Source Peer Bonus award 2020: 250 USD to curl
I hope this post is written in an ironic tone. If I was this guy I would reject that money out of pride.
jsjddbbwj··on SpaceX bans Zoom over privacy concerns
Please elaborate
jsjddbbwj··on Zoom Windows client could allow credentials to be leaked via UNC path injection
Facebook must be really happy.

Good thing about this is the fatigue. We're just a few years away until jo*rnalists lose most of their power.

jsjddbbwj··on April fool's day 2020 is canceled, you monsters
First you had to have a stupid April fools prank to show how cool you were.

This year you have to cancel it to show how cool you are.

jsjddbbwj··on Hungary's emergency law 'incompatible with being in EU', say MEPs group
That will never happen, Germany will never allow it. Look at Spain, Italy, etc. Germany controls the currency, so they call the shots.
jsjddbbwj··on The Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline
Pretty sure the wayback machine already has a full archive
jsjddbbwj··on You’re not writing code, you’re solving problems
That lack of humility also exists in other industries. You can Google "healthcare saves lives" and hit many articles
jsjddbbwj··on Bogus coronavirus claims lead Google Play to finally give Infowars the boot
Wouldn't it be funny if someone had gotten the boot for questioning the usefulness of chloroquine, now that we know the study is bunk? :^}
jsjddbbwj··on The global oil market is broken, drowning in crude nobody needs
Yes, citizens of those countries becoming poorer because you disagree with the politics of their leaders is good news.
jsjddbbwj··on Twitter Deletes Giuliani Tweet Pushing Misinformation and Attack on MI Governor
In this case I meant Section 230
jsjddbbwj··on Twitter Deletes Giuliani Tweet Pushing Misinformation and Attack on MI Governor
It is hard to understand how they still enjoy safe harbour and similar protections after they clearly keep editorialising what is posted on their platform.
jsjddbbwj··on From Spain to Germany, farmers warn of fresh food shortages
They don't want to do it because of the salary.
jsjddbbwj··on Hague court orders Dutch state to pay out over colonial massacres
This is fair if those colonies stop speaking English, using sewage systems and modern agriculture practices and basically return to living in yurts.

Ah, you mean that other definition of fairness...

jsjddbbwj··on Is there any code in Firefox (as of 2020) that comes from Netscape Navigator?
Is there any code in WebKit that comes from khtml?

Is there any code in Source that comes from idtech 2?

jsjddbbwj··on The New York Times Releases Its Dataset of U.S. Confirmed Coronavirus Cases
It is a joke and social critique and if someone takes it seriously then that's their problem.
jsjddbbwj··on Doom Eternal does not have a main or render thread
Wouldn't it be cool if they released the source code like they've always done? Of course, with Carmack no longer there, I'm just kidding.
jsjddbbwj··on Top U.S. cities have seen internet speeds decline this past week
25/25 fibre? That's... Cheap
jsjddbbwj··on Chrome phasing out support for User-Agent
Chrome 0.2 on Windows XP?
jsjddbbwj··on Suggest HN: No April Fools this year
Dude look how virtuous we are, we avoid making a joke because there's a virus around. We take everything very seriously. Please buy our products
jsjddbbwj··on Covid-19 in Hungary: Viktor Orbán pursues dictatorial powers
I am Spanish and I see exactly the same thing here. How it's okay for Germany to rule over us because locals are so convinced our own country and its citizens are inferior. It's so sad, especially since it ends as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
jsjddbbwj··on The Leader of the Free World Gives a Speech, and She Nails It
A more tyrannical justice system and more incarcerated people are not necessarily bad per se. Remember that the US is vastly more heterogeneous which translates into more crime. Keeping criminals in prison is freedom--freedom to own a store and not being robbed, for instance.

Not sure how common civil forfeiture is, I'm not American, but it sounds quite fishy indeed. As I said below, I didn't mention the US at all...

jsjddbbwj··on The Leader of the Free World Gives a Speech, and She Nails It
Definitely, I didn't mention the US at all, but at least the US doesn't have blasphemy laws, for example.
jsjddbbwj··on Mozilla re-enables TLS 1.0 and 1.1 because of Coronavirus (and Google)
I find Firefox too unstable and everchanging for daily use, I recommend people to use ESR instead (if they must use Firefox at all...)
jsjddbbwj··on The Leader of the Free World Gives a Speech, and She Nails It
Considering that the EU doesn't even have freedom of speech, calling that the free world is quite the stretch.
jsjddbbwj··on Merkel: Coronavirus is Germany′s greatest challenge since World War Two
Congratulations on making the first Nazi joke, pick up your prize later.
jsjddbbwj··on Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 days
That's not true. Most ISPs are not having congestion problems.

Are you really comparing public, vital services to Netflix?
