Let’s yell at him for being on the opposite side.

This is an interesting pattern. Two reasonable things to get the upvote, and then a hard turn at the end.

This is what it sounds like when people defend the Steam monopoly btw.

Yeah, that’s pretty dated. There’s one flavor of dotnet (more or less) that runs on everything, and it’s about as efficient as anything with a garbage collector can be.

There are hairs that could be split in there, such as the release cadence, hosting bundle vs desktop runtime, but that’s all much simpler than it used to be. You generally know if you want to run a desktop app vs a webserver.

dotnet is pretty great, runs great on Linux, and you can ship your executable without a need for an external framework if you want.

Dotnet is also open source, a strongly typed language, a large standard library so it doesn’t have the problems of npm, has great performance and is all around the best language out there imo.

Use rust if you need to be closer to the metal, but that’s rare.

Yeah, but you’ll probably figure it out eventually.

Then ask

A bit overstated. I’d be very skeptical about this being useful in a real world situation.

Something worth noting, but not to get too worked up over. Firefox will probably address it at some point.

Skill issue. (Kidding, mostly.)

If you have WiFi everything still works.

Less than yesterday.

Probably because they were dogfooding, testing/using their own product before release.

A little overkill for most people.

There’s no IMSI tracking through WiFi afaik, only cell service.

Airplane mode, VPN, and messaging apps is pretty good. I believe randomized MAC is the default on Android so no need to modify there. (Though it’s nice to disable that on your home network so you can track yourself.)

I mean, turning it off does the job and is easier.

It’s a good habit to keep your phone on airplane mode when you can. It also saves on battery.

Because they brought in Bari Weiss to clamp down on truthful reporting or because they fired Stephen Colbert for speaking truth to power or because they fired Scott Pelley of 60 minutes for telling the truth?

Is he the “I never wash my hands” guy? Or was that another Fox talking head?

There’s no debate. You’ve made it up.

There’s a lot of room for criticism of JavaScript, but this ain’t it.

Just use semicolons at the end of a statement and it’s simple. There are only inane rules about it if you’re trying to skip semicolons, and why the fuck should anyone bother with that?
