This is such a bad way to look at Firefox browser share. Instead, look at desktop share worldwide, where it's more like 7%.

Americans can speak softly?

Yes, so an experimental flag will be required for use in production, which is a clear reason to not use them.

It's great that you mention the climate impact of Electron apps, because those bloated monsters truly are a huge problem; though I think you underestimate how much the Tauri team's focus has been on shrinking app size to alleviate the environmental impact made by the download of said huge Electron apps.

One of the things that actually made me interested in Tauri in the first place was their 1.0 Release[0] which included information on just how much CO2 output would be saved by switching from Electron to a similar Tauri app (600Mb vs 3MB)

Of course you're right that if, instead of using Web UI in the first place, companies went straight to native apps then there'd be even more savings to be made -- but there's trade offs to be made with regards to aligning OSs and reusing components and onboarding engineers and writing good cross-platform tests when working in native that just aren't there when working with a WebUI, and something like Tauri which has many of the upsides with fewer of the externalities of Electron should be applauded at least as a step in the right direction.

This is why things like codeowners files are so important

Firefox is around 8% of market share in the US on non-mobile devices -- up from around 4.5% this time last year. It's downright wrong to see 80% increase in users over 12 months as 'dying' -- and in general 1 in 12 users is significant enough that you should be caring about it.

Thanks, anal_reactor, very cool.

Yeah, the younger generation must just be wired up differently, it's all those popular kids, can't be anything to do with the proliferation of scrum, agile, and crunch that make them focused on doing all those tickets ;)

Professional repairs are the ones lobbying for right to repair laws? Do you have proof for this outlandish claim?

Honestly not. My tests run WAY faster on Apple Silicon, that's all I care about.

Imagine saying something this wrong this confidently.

Agree. I wish tools like zod/valibot were first class in typescript.

Objectively wrong.

Cheer is a pathway to gymnastics in the US for going on 30 years; it's not been a pom pom sport for a VERY long time.

Remaining cordial; George Orwell was a posh boy who sold out every single one of his comrades to save his own reputation including gay and other marginalised people. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell%27s_list

Perhaps more interestingly, the list was probably comissioned by Robert Conquest who went on to author multiple books that have become cannon for anticommunists despite being thoroughly debunked. Interesting how these posh boys always end up doing this, I wonder what their vested interests are.

simping for google in order to "own" apple fanboys is just an embarassing position for an adult.

A common case of W3 actively choosing the worse option

Poe's law

Height, for men, seems to be the key factor here; which I think most short kings knew before reading the article.
