Literally the whole internet after someone in tech implies Steve Jobs was wrong on something:

Random AI blogger: “Steve Jobs was wrong”

Also, considering how litigious Epic has been with Apple on bringing Fortnite back, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple just said "fuck it" and let Epic knowingly push a broken game onto the App Store out of fear of another lawsuit.

How... how do you even learn React without learning vanilla HTML/JS first? Do they just slap together npm packages until something sticks, and then that clusterfuck of a computer program somehow gets pushed into a prod env?

Caps lock and angry eyes both off, someone else suppressing us doesn't make it okay to suppress them back. You have to figure out how to convince these Republican voters to vote for more Liberal causes.

I FUCKING DISAGREE! I AM A PROGRESSIVE AND I CONSIDER VOTING IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE THE BIRTHRIGHT OF EVERY US CITIZEN REGARDLESS OF RACE, EDUCATION, WEALTH, ETC ETC ETC. A "COMPETENCY EXAM" IS VOTER SUPRESSION FULL FUCKING STOP AND IS NEVER OK TO DO, REGARDLESS OF PARTY.
SHAME ON YOU!!! 🤬

...There's React devs that can't build vanilla website code? This is a thing?

Like I sympathize that Mozilla would likely go under if Google was forced to stop payments. But again, this is on Mozilla because they should have never allowed themselves to be in this position in the first place.

So, my 2 cents to other web browsers right now: DROP YOUR GLOVES!

In other words, the vibe I get from this antitrust trial is that the browser wars should never have ended. And the only true way to keep an open internet is to restart them and keep it going. Because those "wars" was actually the competitive pressure we needed to keep innovating.

"We want an 800-pound gorilla in the web's corner!"
Uhhhhh no we don't. We want several 200-pound hockey players constantly body checking each other.
One single entity exerting that much power isn't an open internet, regardless of their intent. It's open when it's open by competitive pressure.

NFL is old news. It's all about the NHL now. youtu.be/pwMLbWqc6BM

Well if there's that many fakers, then maybe that creates a business incentive to hire more American citizens - it would be significantly harder to fool eVerify or Clear.

Would something like eVerify or Clear be able to catch this?

Well I was referring to their hyper specific definition of “vaccine side effects” mostly. The average person (people not on Bluesky) are going to use that terminology more broadly.

As someone who is very vaccine positive, I absolutely hate this take. There's like a thousand things that aren't strictly an allergic reaction or an immune system reaction.
Your definition of "vaccine side effects" is incredibly ableist and condescending, and doesn't help vaccine hesitancy at all.

In a CSS style attack, apps and VPNs are mostly useless. And since how these attacks exactly work is still unknown, you can't really harden a phone's antenna software against it.
This is why people are saying to leave your phone at home if you're going to a risky location.

Also "we want both parents working to the point that they don't spend time with their kids or even have time every day to live in the housing they're paying for".

Also this shows y'all how new Bluesky and its underlying tech still is. 🤣

Ehhhh some of the editors have some deeper integrations that you'd need to mess with the actual VS Code program code to do.
