So, will Twitter ban single-sided up or down voting in accordance with their agenda, similar to how they have start preventing users from even "liking" a tweet?

This is wasteful trash and has no place in a standard.

Am I the only one that doesn't like WordPress anymore? The concept was great, but it has basically become a "website builder" and not really a piece of blogging software anymore.

Throw on top of it the architecture of plugins (no sandboxing!) and the culture this has developed for websites being "built" with a combination of 50+ outdated plugins and it frankly becomes a nightmare. Of course this can occur with any huge software project, so I somewhat concede this point.

The real turning point for me was the push to move to the "block" editor and effectively turn WordPress into Wix or Squarespace or whatever

Mozilla: a corporation funded by a spying company with a recent shady record of injecting stuff into products secretely (hello Mr robot). What could go wrong in this thought crime?

I am imagining this is running without a kernel or operating system...

I thought rust was meant to prevent this stuff?

Thanks for the memories.

I think one of the bad things about getting older that people don't seem to discuss is the increase in death of both those you know or those you know of.

Mozilla is a political organisation now. Has been for a few years.

Install kiwi on Android for extension enabled Chromium.

Building houses on site is definitely slow and potentially a logistics nightmare between different trades people.

Prefab doesn't solve that one hundred percent, but I assume it would significantly increase build speed and predictions of completion date.

I see we have all caught on to Apple's "Silicon" buzzword.

Alongside another 100+ people. This is a nothing-burger.

Despite the Australian Government's big scary words about not backing down last week.

What an embarrassment.

Personal preference: I really hate the term "side hustle". Cringe.

Does that mean when I pull out my iPhone to search, Google will no longer work?

Bring on bing I suppose

Windows bloat, performance, and telemetry is frankly out of control. I use primarily either macOS or Ubuntu for development work day to day, but need to use Windows for specific builds and testing. I don't enjoy the experience.

I'm not sure if these issues are because I don't use it very frequently, but every time I start it up:

* CPU gets eaten alive by telemetry related services for minutes at a time.

* A barrage of updates I didn't ask for get forced on me (Despite whatever settings I put)

* Anti malware tools cause system to be I/O bound for about a minute

Longer term observations

* The disk usage goes up and up and up, even though I'm putting no data on to it

* I keep getting nagged to use a Microsoft account to sign in

* The default internet browser gets reset to Edge

* Some older applications just stop working for no reason, only to start working again weeks later.

On the plus side, Visual Studio seems to be much improved from what it used to be.

This is just a childish rant. To lump everyone into the basket of only using coworking for "a sense of community" is entirely a false premise.

Also, the cussing is disgustingly unprofessional. Not funny. Not cool.

Isn't that the intended purpose of banning Trump? To delete his supporters communication platform?

Sorry, but if you signed up to use Robin Hood and agreed to their terms and conditions, you don't have a leg to stand on.

Funny how all of the people spurting out "It's a private company they can do what they want" after banning Donald Trump have now changed their mind about big tech censorship.

The precedent of accepted censorship was set and accepted. Deal with it.

I am amazed people glide through life with skin so thin. It's not even real. What's to be offended about?

How long until he is de-platformed?

Estimator.dev results:

This site would be 9% faster with Modern JavaScript. Currently, this site ships 25kb of Javascript (uncompressed).

Switching to modern JS would reduce that to 22kb, while still supporting 95% of browsers

Is this the current state of HN? A warning is needed for a softly worded reality? My god.

Originally created by Aaron Swartz AND Kevin Poulsen. Please stop with the fanboyism.

I really want to like system76 laptops, but I can't help but feel they are literally straight out of a prefab China warehouse, same old crummy quality plastic crap.

What an idiotic comment. Lawns are stupid? What about the roads you drive along daily? Or the car parks you park in? Or the gigantic concrete buildings you work in?

Lawns are very obviously the least of society's concerns.

If I had a dollar for every throw away account that posted something along these lines on hackernews, I'd be slightly richer than I already am.

You have to be joking right? You'd have to be blind to not see the rapid decline in Firefox marketshare.

I wonder if Mozilla regrets laying off 25% of their engineering team [0] given their rapidly declining browser market share [1], and their rapidly declining performance. Not to mention their forced adoption of the new Firefox on Android which disables all add-ons except Mozilla approved ones, despite their promises to correct this [2].

Mozilla _used_ to be about open internet and security, but that's just a false pretense at this point [3][4].

I believe it's time to embrace Chromium / Blink, throw away the idea of internet freedom and just use the best performing browser of the week.

Is perl or "Raku" still used in serious new applications these days?

I'm not talking about gluing stuff together with scripts - I mean a large project operating wholly under it
