Okay, who’s going to pay for that?

Journalists have bills to pay.
Yes. For example, this website is moderated by a team of inmates.
Re:Can't you just right click? on Wednesday August 19, 2020 @08:34PM (#24218589)
Apple probably won’t delete the app from user phones, but it won’t be available to new users anymore (those who have never downloaded the app using their Apple account) and Epic will be unable to submit new updates to the App Store, which in practice kills the app

I think people are mostly bitching about iOS, since it will be impossible to run the game on iPhones and iPads anymore at all.
Webm is not compatible with iPhone. Can’t you make it output standard mp4 files?
Client side analytics won because setting them up involves copying and pasting some code into your HTML code.

It’s practically Darwinism—ignore reviews, or suffer.

What I want to see is a Firefox foundation.

I’ve done it too, you get lots of free stuff in exchange for writing reviews. One would be stupid not to take advantage of that.
Re:Best Package Manager for C on Monday August 17, 2020 @12:04PM (#24188494)
People have been developing serious projects in C for decades, so it clearly works.
TLS and DNS, screwing people over since…
Thanks for putting into words why I don’t want this to happen :)
I worry that once that time arrives the government will force us to consume it by severely taxing actual meat.
Re:Ask HN: Is the word “bot” losing its meaning? on Sunday August 16, 2020 @04:52AM (#24176287)
If I remember correctly, when you start playing the game, they match you against actual bots, which are pretty much unskilled. Maybe that’s why he uses that word.
Re:Trump says he is considering pardon for Edward Snowden on Sunday August 16, 2020 @04:33AM (#24176212)
Do you have any actual proof other than the fact the script was created months after the leaks?

> A bit ironic to see Spaniards afraid their natural resource are stolen from them and be made available on the South American market. I mean, it's not like they did the same with Avocado, tomato and so on and so forth. Not to mention all the gold from South America.

This is not twitter, leave your 500 years old hatchet by the door.

Because you find that person annoying. That’s what the police is for. Or maybe not, but it certainly works in many cases.
That extra human readable section is not added for humans. It’s added for SEO. That is, for Google.
Re:What's the future of Servo? on Friday August 14, 2020 @10:31AM (#24158403)
Thunderbird is okay because it was basically a finished project when it was forcibly emancipated. Servo won’t have the same luck.
Same thing Facebook has been doing since forever?

Take the money back and go to Android.
How are dealers in Europe a monopoly?
>Going to a dealer? Nope. Supporting emissions cheaters? Nope. Supporting automakers who had to be dragged to develop EVs by Tesla? Nope!

Seems like things 0.1% of buyers care about. Really, not buying the car you want to avoid talking to a dealer? Is that some kind of social phobia?

I mean, his name was Cain...
Re:The structure of KDE, or how anarchy sometimes works on Thursday August 13, 2020 @09:15AM (#24142995)
Considering the KDE community has taken over 10 years (since the jump to 4) to get to the half assed point where they are now, I’m not really so sure about this. Reminds of the serious problems Valve has been having.
That’s good, it means they won’t bother me about whatever I choose to host. Thanks for your recommendation!
Re:Microsoft Surface Duo – Dual-screen Android phone on Wednesday August 12, 2020 @07:42AM (#24130985)
That’s how it usually works on android.
It never was your account.
The mentions of “racism”, “advocacy”, etc on this post make me want to puke. All while firing people from servo, rav1e, etc. Make a bloody good browser and stop meddling with politics, dunces!
