Seems a bit of both. They put the self-hosting docs on Vercel.com (https://vercel.com/docs/next.js/analytics), as it requires setting up a project and paying for it on Vercel.

Cloudflare offers the same thing for free.

Why should a web app that you've manually installed (added to your home screen) be more restricted than when it's accessed via Safari?

The feature/bug argument doesn't really apply here - your preference is not the same as everyone else's, and your worst case scenario shouldn't prevent valid uses of the same technology. Especially when it's already something the user has chosen to install.

Background audio is entirely disabled in iOS Safari PWAs.

The same sites can handle doing background media when used as a regular website in Safari, so this feels like one instance of PWA support at least seeming intentionally crippled.

If you care this much about racial justice I hope you are making more efforts than trying to tell people how they should interpret Martin Luther King.

Also maybe consider that etymology is about not just the origin of words, it's also about their evolution over time as cultures evolve.

Not replying anymore, have a nice day!

Got it. Most of your comment went off in a different direction that sounds like a white supremacist diatribe. No interest in discussing that with you, it's nonsense and I'm sorry you believe something like that.

Do you have a source for the "tiny fraction" claim? And do you have a similar number for how much of the population cares about etymology?

It's unclear who or what you are replying to with this. There is nothing here that relates to my comment.

So it's not worth doing anything because there's a line somewhere ahead? At some point whatever startup you're working on will definitely reach an end in some form, so you should definitely stop working now.
Is etymology more important to you than the people who are telling you they find something offensive, unwelcoming, and a factor (regardless of size) in racial equality?

Do you believe that there is limited space on the internet? Or that in the absence of this discussion every person here would instead be doing something highly productive?

You're not wrong. These are two separate issues and they should both be improved. It's not like we can only do one without the other, and the first steps to bigger change will almost always start with small steps that many feel are too small.
This is the crux of it. If something that takes nothing away from you makes things better for others why argue against it?
I don't think of those words in terms of race either, but it's such an easy thing to change. It might be worth considering that a lot of the people who are speaking up have to feel that way about race being a part of everything all the time and they hate it too.

Everyone's trying to get to a level playing field where race isn't an issue. Maybe equality can seem like it's oppression if you're used to not having to worry about that stuff.
