atproto permissioned data [1] will solve the dilemma you're describing. Ultimately all the data is in the same place (your PDS) and you can always read and write any data there. If…

Doing bad things is bad and people don't get a free pass just because someone is giving them money for it.

Au contraire , their lobbying efforts are focused on creating regulatory moats around their businesses: https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/17/regulate-facebook/

I was specifically responding to this claim: > Google and Facebook absolutely changed the world, not through politics, but by creating technology. But it sounds like we're on the s…

If that were the case, then why do they spend millions of dollars on lobbying every year? Why does Meta have a "president of global affairs" plucked from Republican political circl…

While working on a small atproto OAuth client I discovered a neat service worker pattern that I don't think I've ever seen someone write about. The page makes normal fetch requests…

Maybe read a couple ancestor comments up to figure out the context of what I'm responding to?

You're putting words in my mouth. "Public health" deals with social problems regarding health, but it's a subset of "health" which also includes problems that are not social in nat…

In that case, what are examples of non -social problems you can think of?

"How do we remove feces from our living spaces" and "how do we stop dying from pathogens" are not social problems.

Sure, and many people also run older versions of macOS and also use Safari.

This point of view always confuses me, because web developers already need to deal with platform differences. Especially if your app app also runs in a browser, like Slack and Disc…

Yeah, this is very much a "leopards ate my face" moment.

What reason is there to believe that will happen?

No one is defending outright buggy animations. OP is just saying the idea that every frame should make logical sense on its own ignores how animation actually works (and they're co…

Perhaps the Los Angeles DA stopped focusing on low-level crimes so he could focus on the gangs running rampant within the LAPD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_in_the_Los_Angel…

Let's say you're an evil capitalist bastard. How would you capture that value?

They have a gazillion such blocks today . If they still have a gazillion such blocks in a year, sure. But presumably the plan is to replace them with safe Rust.

Right, but the point is that you now have an explicit todo list of blocks to fix. You can trivially enumerate all sources of unsafety, and when a grep for unsafe blocks turns up em…

For one, you now know exactly where the memory unsafe code is, rather than a cloud of suspicion hanging over every line of the codebase.
