  • I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.




  • The measley non Google portion of revenue is 81m dollar. If you pay a top dev 200k, you could pay 100 top devs 20m and still have 60m to play with.

    This is even before considering a Bing/Yahoo/Ecosia deal.

    Mozilla will be fine, but they’ll likely need to be leaner. Lay offs will likely play a part in that. Just got to hope they size and structure it right.



  • The fact they were willing to try it says all it needs to about them. They only stopped because of complaints.

    Your argument is like saying Unity game engine is fine because they rolled back on the changes. Nope.

    Tenacity is much more trustworthy for me.

    Could you elaborate on the harder to use? It was a fork so should be pretty similar. They overhauled the build stuff to make it easier to build on multiple systems.








  • You ain’t wrong. The level of arrogance stinks. Especially when the author put effort into documenting the sources etc.

    There do appear to be a lot of these know-it-all-but-contribute-little types around.

    Maybe a few are missing, but simply asking, and I’m sure they’ll provide. If someone wants a better build system, they could volunteer to do it themselves.



  • That poster has a point. I’m a Brit here, so no skin in the game. You’re more focussed on being right that trying to comprehend that people look at things differently.

    No one thought Biden was good, but he was the candidate and most know that name recognition is key in US elections. Most presential candidates fail on their first run. Kamala, despite having some OK polling numbers still has to get through to disengaged American voters who do not follow politics and probably know little more than the attack lines heropponents will throw at her this campaign. They have to define her before others do. This option is riskier than you realise, the only thing that changed was Biden became a riskier option than before.

    Things are less black and white than you want them to be. Nuance and grey area is key, despite being inconvenient.
