Because we should wipe away 2 decades of history and pretend the next thing is flawless on release?
Edge came in with a freight train of baggage, and didn’t make it. It’s absurd to frame this otherwise.
And Google established a lot of the standards that were both open and long living.
Yeah, Google has strayed far from the “Do no evil” philosophy in the last decade. But this rewriting of history to praise IE and demonfy Chrome from that era is ridiculous.
Rofl. So let’s white wash the browser history before chrome, then. Back when IE reigned supreme. You must either be too young or not in the industry to champion that.
So Google establishing a now industry standard of evergreen versioning so that they could iterate relatively quickly on features, rather than have to maintain compatibility with years old versions, and iterating quickly on their own major websites - is a bad thing?
Right.
Yeah, let’s go back to having to maintain terrible legacy browsers that behaved completely differently for the rest of time.
Edit - rofl. Bunch of revisionists here on Lemmy.

But sure, Google has been doing shitty things lately so let’s retroactively change history and make Microsoft the browser hero? Right.
Huh. There’s an employee program that has small rewards for meeting exercise goals.
Time to break out Rock Band
Yeah, the one saying that was claiming that after your initial deprecation after driving off the lot, trucks tend to hold their value for a long time. So might as well.
He’s also the guy that’s last minute panicking about saving for retirement in his 50s.
Go figure.
I just picked up an early 2000s used truck because I have a hobby where a truck bed is useful. $7500.
People were trying to tell me that I should get a new one, I can resale it in a few years and it’ll retain it’s value.
I don’t need a shiny new truck. I’m going to throw wood and sheet goods in the back. And I can actually see out of the damn thing, unlike anything recent.
What a dishonest argument.
There’s a world of difference from someone barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck, versus a middle class worker well into their career, able to afford minor luxuries and still squirrel away money for savings and retirement.
I am middle class. I am 20 years into my career. I make comparatively good money.
But due to not prioritizing buying property, I’ve pretty much missed my window. I can qualify for a mortgage, have the 20% down-payment, but the monthly payment would pretty much wipe me out, costing around $3k more per month than renting.
If I were at this point in my career 20 years ago, I could have easily afforded a house comfortably.
That is what we’re talking about when we talk about the housing crisis for specifically the middle class.
I think the only actor I absolutely can’t stand because of RL actions is Mark Wahlberg.
Dude committed multiple hate crime assaults before he was famous. Then he tried to brush them off as water under the bridge when they surfaced, without even giving reparations to the guy he partially blinded.
And then he repeatedly plays the “misunderstood heart of gold tough guy” in all his movies.
Just can’t look past it.
Wow.
She’s not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that’s even remotely plausible or effective.
But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that’s not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they’re also reliable voters.
Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.
I don’t know. There’s a bunch of giant statues that have been built. Buddhas, Guan Yu, Ghengis Khan, etc.
I have no idea if these were cheaply made, which I suppose is likely, but if they’re concrete/stone, I could see them possibly lasting.
I don’t think he’s stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.
I don’t necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.
He doesn’t seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.
It also ends up on a notepad next to their computer. But at least that requires physical access. And your Netflix password is the least of your concerns in that case
My wife and I had two llamas (dressed in bride and groom outfits) in our wedding.
Our wedding planner tried to talk us out of having them in the ceremony. “They’ll distract from your special moment”
“Have you been to a wedding? They’ll love the distraction.”
You realize his actions have a direct impact on Harris’ campaign… right?
It’s easy to rage against the machine on a moral pedestal. It’s harder to actually steer the machine in the right direction.
To be clear, I am supportive of putting things to a vote even if there’s no chance it succeeds. Get the votes on record. I think that’s an important archive that can be used later in election season to hold politicians accountable for their votes.
I like what Bernie and AOC are doing when they push for these kinds of votes.
But make no mistake. They can only do this from a position of being unable to effect any change. Under normal conditions, moves like this poison the well and make others on both sides less willing to work with you.
They have the luxury of grandstanding specifically because they have zero hope of garnering support.
Someone like a president can’t really do something like this without completely burning their political capital.
Eh. If you can replace someone with practically any able bodied person off the street and a week of training, it’s not skilled labor.
Can you technically argue that 1 week of training equates to becoming “skilled”? Sure, but it’s a dumb line to draw IMO.
