I'm in Denmark, I believe this is pretty much the best example of the kind of country you are talking about, unfortunately I have some personal problems along various spectrums that mean I am not good at keeping track of things that I cannot control through a computer, anyway Denmark went nearly cashless for a bit and because of my personal problems I did not have a credit card for a portion of that time. A cashless…

The is no disorder that causes you to be disorganized unless you're using a computer.

If you could see my apartment and my credit report, you'd eat those words. My finances are on autopilot. My apartment is a mess, because it is not.

> WebKit is clearly being actively maintained, though. Depends what you call "actively maintained", I would call it on life support personally, it's lacking very far behind the other engines.

How can that possibly be the case if it's becoming more, not less, standards compliant and performant?! Additionally, it even manages to outperform Blink in certain use cases / benchmarks, especially after the last major update or so. It might not be Apple's bread and butter like Blink is for Google, but I see no obvious signs of WebKit dying, though I'm open to proof to the contrary.

PWA, wepb, fullscreen support, intersection observers... the list is very long. And I'm not counting the basic bugs they never solved.

As opposed to politicians who take bribes in the form of campaign donations?

This is the self driving care problem People want a perfect system to replace an imperfect one. When instead they should rationally look at it and ask "is it better than what we have now" instead they pick it apart for any flaws then proclaim that is not workable because it is not 100% perfect every time

Not asking for perfection mate. Just don't ask me for a blessing when the cure is worse than the disease.

What's wrong with WebKit's implementation of intersection observers?

This kind of post infuriates me. As an iOS developer for 10 years, i can guarantee you that there are probably hundreds (if not thousands) of stories like that, with people getting shut down for no good reason, and having their business killed. It's now so bad people are refraining from trying out innovative business model or apps just because they think there could be a chance someone at apple validation wouldn't li…

> i can guarantee you that there are probably hundreds (if not thousands) of stories like that, with people getting shut down for no good reason, and having their business killed How about Apple telling me they don't like my business bank (a well known UK bank I've been with for 10 years) and simply refusing to set up the account. In a very cold, "go away already", manner. I wasn't going to kill the relationship with…

You built a Progressive Web App (PWA) after that, right?

Web app is not really an alternative on iOS, not unless Apple stops actively crippling PWAs and I don’t see Apple doing this unless they are forced to do so (anti trust).

PWAs are crippled by design.

Your ignorance is showing. There's few if any features PWAs can't compare in. And many of them are derived from Apple or Google fuckery.

You have the same choice the device users have. It's their right to choose their device, and it's your right to choose which provider you use or don't. It is not your right to reach all those people.

There's such a thing as antitrust laws you ancap, they don't even need to have a monopoly.

I have this horrible feeling that you'll soon buy the government you want; Amazon or Facebook Gov is a terrifying idea: "do you want to add on the international development budget for £14.99 per month". I wonder if it would be better than what we currently have?

Representative democracy doesn't really represent me. I want to go online and fill out a long, myers briggs like personality test that judges my political leanings, and then have that data fed to a script that votes on all the issues for me directly, skipping the middlemen. Collectively those scripts would be a far better representation than any human. Replace all politicians with tiny shell scripts.

You would have to keep those scripts secret otherwise someone could easily build an adversarial neural network or a hacker might just find an exploit. Secret scripts that decide everything isn't a democracy. That's an AI government and we all know that we shouldn't let AI have military access.

It turns credit card companies into the extra-legal enforcers of the government, bypassing various laws, courts, and any reasonable appeals process. People should boycott Visa, Mastercard and Paypal over this.

Good luck boycotting the credit card companies, if you want to participate meaningfully in the modern economy.

That's why a better alternative is necessary. I personally think the Dutch iDeal is pretty much perfect for online payments, with none of the many problems attached to credit cards. But most of the internet seems too invested in keeping credit cards alive.
