@aschmitz i think this is reversing history though; there was an alternate timeline where browsers leaned hard into XML and relied heavily on plugins for supporting namespaces and elements which they didn’t straight out of the box. Opera/Mozilla/Apple didn’t like this future because it reduced their power as The Browser Manufacturers and consequently shut down not only plugins but also technologies like XForms in favour of doing everything in plain HTML and Javascript. Apple refused to support plugins in iOS Safari, forcing adoption of HTML5, and the refusal of browser manufacturers to invest in good extensibility mechanisms led to HTML always being the winning solution, especially after the removal of legacy browser extensions in Mozilla (which were a kind of plugin in their own right).

« As browsers have become more powerful, plugins have become less useful. » is that why

the new york times editorial board, home of the world’s most lukewarm and tepid takes, is now calling on biden to drop out of the race for the sake of the country, if you were wondering how things are going

(please don’t put “i filed a bug report on GNOME GitLab” on your resume; save that for the interview)

if i were hiring for a position i would rank someone with an account on GNOME GitLab who only submitted a couple of issues above someone with a GitHub account with 2000 commits and 30 pull requests merged

i do not care about your github stats

in fact i care substantially more about how many repositories you have contributed to that are NOT on github

i gotta say, even with microsoft and all, nothing has turned me off of github more than techbros treating it like a linkedin

any day the N·F·L is ordered to pay as much as $14 billion is a good day

@Satsuma @wallhackio maybe they just don't know the difference between britain and australia

What is it thinking about

they finished majora’s mask and they made wind waker

they finished spirit tracks and they made a link between worlds

this is true of all zelda sequels but when they finished breath of the wild aonuma was like “have we done everything we could do with this?” and the answer was “no, we haven’t” but after tears of the kingdom the answer definitely is “yes, we absolutely have”

people might worry that the next 3d zelda game will just be another clone of breath of the wild but you gotta understand, the zelda team hated working on sequel to breath of the wild
