I hear this argument often, but I haven't heard a convincing argument. Why? Lack of storage? No. Lack of computing power or RAM? No. Then?

That's one way of looking at it, but remember that Electron is better and free even if you don't release your code. On mobile, you have Flutter, React Native... In this situation, why would anybody want to go with Qt, unless they have an existing, legacy codebase? Who's starting new projects in Qt?

Qt is not bad but it's also not as good as Electron. It doesn't look native (unless you're myopic), it's slower than native, it's quirky, it's buggy... it's cross-platform on paper because when you manage to build your app on another platform you'll see half of it doesn't work well... and on top of that, it costs money. A lot of money. No wonder it lost.

On one hand I understand it's good to have competition. On the other, I'm happy that bad solutions lose. That's the way of the market.

How do you know that's an actual translation and not a bunch of bullshit?

The EU doesn't have a tech sector and is therefore very happy to destroy the services from other countries with stupid regulations. This is pretty clear after the cookie banners.

No they don't. When my browser tells me it's finished loading the page I expect the page to be completely loaded.

Used to happen to me with some sites, what I did was 1) remove all the history of that domain so typing re<enter> would google "re" instead of autocompleting to reddit.com and 2) adding reddit.com to my ad blocker so I couldn't visit it at all.

Regarding apps, just delete them.

Right. I read "GIMP has been ported to GTK+3" and all I can think is "parts of it will look broken and using some dialogs will make it crash"

Exactly, but don't ask Manolo Escobar about it, since it's somewhat of a sensitive issue for him.

You use VPNs with more or less the same result.

Don't be mislead by that map, everybody in those regions that say "Basque" or "Catalan" know Spanish perfectly well.

Carro is not used in Spain at all.

You missed the word "like" in his comment.

The fact that this post by Prashanth Abd al-Rahman (SO CEO) is so downvoted makes me think he's onto something. This is like when artists cry because of how good Midjourney is and they'll have to switch careers. If programmers are complaining about AI it's because it's good.

Because the more people you have to read or talk to, the better? Because you want all your friends and people you want to hear from to be already there?

It's like those threads about Signal, talking about how much better it is compared to whatsapp and the rest - okay, maybe, but if my friends aren't there already, it's worthless.

Milošević wasn't a dictator. I can't comment on the others.

They only post once every one-two days, so they are not getting throttled. The limit was several tweets an hour. So I call BS

The bill makes it illegal to download TikTok in the state, with penalties of up to $10,000 a day for any entity, such as Apple and Google's app stores or TikTok itself, that makes the popular video-streaming app available.

Not clear to me: is it illegal to download tiktok or to provide a download to tiktok?

You know what makes for more creative challenges? Not being able to use someone else's character.

I could understand these arguments, in a way, when they are about IP that hasn't been used in decades. But Nintendo still exists and is still producing Mario games. Why should any other company be able to use the Mario theme?

Which is why it's a stupid law that has made everybody's lives worse, both the businesses and the users.

Most internet businesses need tracking to survive, so it's more like either you click past a cookie banner or you don't get to see the content at all.

What info? My IP address and the pages I've visited inside their site? By visiting a site I know I'm giving that info to them, they can do whatever they want with it.

It waits for the next prompt, obviously.

Although my biggest question is... it's a fucking messenger app. Why does it produce a larger binary content than a full-blown Linux kernel?!

Because it does so much more than messaging. Also, UI code is generally very verbose.

Added in iOS 10 - that is 2016.

The EU doesn't have the money or the regulatory framework, to begin with. See how quickly they are working to make sure nobody can build this (well, make it work within the EU)

Anarchism and anti-globalism were far-left values like 20 years ago. Right now the left and far-left give strong "conform" vibes.

Go doesn't have exceptions. That makes it infinitely better than Java could ever be.

Obviously I like the idea of a Portal 3. But I am afraid that they will make it controller-friendly to the detriment of keyboard/mouse controls so they can sell Decks or VR-only so they can sell their Index headsets like they did with Alyx.
