Doing an AMA on mastodon would be a horrible experience for everyone. Others have pointed out the obvious difference in reach, blocks/defederation means some ppl may not even be able to participate, participants might never receive questions, users from different instances wouldn’t be able to see sibling comments, etc.
PWAs were not liked when they came out.
By some ppl. There were also ppl who did like them. As soon as the desktop support was axed, fans of the feature started complaining immediately.
at the time, people in general did not like PWAs as a concept. Independent of the browser
Again, I think this is a sampling issue, because my experience was the complete opposite.
And one of the key parts of PWA features was the “Progressive” part. The site works without those features and you don’t have to use them so removing the support never made much sense to me.
BEAM is the VM that Erlang runs on. It also supports Elixir and some other lesser known languages
There’s no way Mozilla is replacing Google as the default, so what are they actually announcing here? I didn’t read any actual results thats happening. Are they just adding Qwant as an option in the search engine settings?
I would argue that overriding methods on a prototype is not a hack. It’s equivalent to overriding super methods in Java classes, but using javascript’s prototype-based inheritance instead of class-based inheritance.
But I agree with your main point about choosing a language that lets the developer implement their solutions freely.
I feel you but i dont think podcasters point to youtube for video feeds because of a supposed limitation of RSS. They do it because of the storage and bandwidth costs of hosting video.
