> Except it doesn't. Ummm, yes it does. > Those libraries are being used in Chromium, and thus need to be maintained for use in Chromium. And they certainly are... by the originato…

I guess one man's overly dramatic is another man's laughter at the absurd. Or, perhaps you missed the "laughing so hard I'm crying" emoji? Anyway - this is exactly what Apple wante…

It's pretty simple - we've been using rectangular screens since forever. With rectangular screens there are no compromises within our software and there are no compromises in our f…

Clearly "what's bad for you" is subjective given that there was a time when many would have said that masturbation causes self-harm. The other issue is that sin taxes just don't wo…

People are complaining because screens have been fucking rectangular since forever! And this change forces klunky software compromises for no good reason. If they made a triangle o…

> ...unlike some other companies... Which ones?

> ...any machines which come close to the M1 for software dev? If you can stand using macOS, that is. Personally, I'll continue using Linux because that's where all my software get…

It limits how many menus your apps can have or makes them draw around it. If you enable compatibility mode you'll be back to an even fatter bezel which looks like dog shit. Rationa…

It's just a laptop in the same old rectangular shape, in the same old colors that is actually just catching up and there's nothing at all special about this one… Try to catch some …

Incorrect and illogical on both points. Did you not realize that the repo contains a copy of every third party lib they use? It didn't go from 5 to 35 LoC in 5 years buddy xD. Imag…

> Chromium is more like ~35 million lines of code. Incorrect. It's ~5 million [0] > And Brave is implementing Manifest V3. Incomplete. Brave already announced that they're leaving …

If you really believe that Mozilla is out there protecting anything and not just collecting a paycheck - I've got a bridge to sell you. Chrome does everything I want right now. The…

Of course. But the fact that I was pointing out was that the Windows percentage is actually quite small in the grand scheme of things.

Oh, gee well I thought we were on a developer/techie forum. McDonald's is also one of the most popular restaurants. I eat there once in a while. I still run Windows boxes to play g…

Yet another one of these comments. When XP came out, people were switching to Linux. When Vista came out, people were switching to Linux. When 8.x came out, people were switching t…

Why would I want to optimize for working on planes, trains and in meetings? That's not a good work environment. I run desktop computers and since I don't need to play video games o…

It's easy to over simplify things to the point of absurdity. This is like saying that when you read "because science tells us" that you translate it to "because I believe anything …

Same with the Linux kernel and it's got a larger codebase than Chromium.

Market power makes it an antitrust situation and since you can't run a profitable app business without going through Apple, that certainly makes this a hostage scenario. We haven't…

Sounds like I have to go through Apple to get to anyone with some money to spend. So much freedom! I get to market my stuff to poor people and picky, principled tech users.

> It’s a tool, not a fashion statement. Pffft, as if Apple didn't market every. single. one. of their products as a fashion statement. Apple clearly has always chosen form over fun…

It's a plain analogy, any drama would be created by the reader's reaction. People also stop complaining simply because they've complained enough. It's definitely not always the cas…

Well, it's kinda like if someone made a really nice meal for you but left a booger on the top of the plate. You'd complain about that booger, right?

...as if the notch is the only deciding factor. I hate the notch, but I'll still buy iPhones all day long if my only other choice is to buy products with questionable privacy from …

And if Apple doesn't provide that app, it will break after every update.
