I am from the UK, and I also think this is true. Hop on a call and the wording sounds like they do not want to fix the issue

It comes across very condecending. Maybe it is a US problem


Reading other comments, US folks seem divided; I am with you and the others on this side of the fence, I've seen this exact situation play out in corporate life many times. They are attempting to quiet a public discussion of dissent and dissatisfaction.


I’m an American. The response is coded as “do nothing”. The proper response here would be to say “we’re going to roll back the changes until we understand and fix things that are going wrong.” The individual may not have INTENDED the dismissive due to the way American corporate language has internalize “do nothing, take no position, take no risk, admit no fault” but it’s definitely the tone. Essentially this is a human problem: how do you deal with someone motivated by project passion rather than revenue goals or personal income? It happens ALL THE TIME with nonprofits interacting poorly with volunteers because the motivations and associated daily language are so divergent.


I don't see how it is, you wont have your phone searched if you come here.


Can't find out whether this is currently happening, the rules seem unclear.

I can definitely find someone asking for the power in Hansard a couple of years ago: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2023-12-05/debates/D4E...


Except of course if you post something without a loicense.

I updated my comment... On the first try the code-formatter here played some tricks with me.

The line before the Code has to be empty to get correct formatting.


I have a very good grasp on jQuery and a good grasp on SPA frameworks, and as soon as you cross that barrier into a complex application, jQuery is completely unsuitable in maintaining a clean state.


Things like Tailwind take the core concepts of bootstrap and build and improve on it on a grand scale. It is like comparing jQuery (bootstrap), to React (tailwind).


Tailwind and bootstrap are near opposite approaches to frontend design …

What’re you on about?


People really do sell Tailwind as if it’s a Bootstrap-like framework. I think that’s why so many sites (see: most startups) have a very similar “Tailwind look” now - everybody wants to use Tailwind because it’s hip, but nobody actually wants to write styles if they can help it, so they just copy-paste a very basic rounded-border-plus-shadow style onto all their components and call it a day. It’s a little better than the “Bootstrap look” because at least it doesn’t come with a default accent color that nobody will ever change, but man, it’s not that much better.


As a programmer (not a designer) I like tailwind bc I can keep my styles and markup in the same file.

It’s a nice workflow.

Idk what the “tailwind look” is. Tailwind is basically a bunch of css classes with a single rule per.

I bet lots of startups are just using shadcn or something like it, which are bootstrap type big design frameworks


Twitter and musk are nothing but far right "political extremists and pedo's".

You are kidding yourself if you think that twitter has or is gaining relevance. It has nose dived in users and has dramatically lost revenue from advertisers.

Dont kid yourself.


Sequoia, and others (who actually receive the quarterly reports) seem pretty happy with their position.


The only one who responded to requests for comments, was not happy: https://archive.is/yYnfo


You are ignoring the elephant in the room, so to speak. Apple has a large share of mobile browser usage with Safari (a Webkit browser). Add to this also that any browser used on iOS is webkit.

That aside, what you are asking is really just you giving your personal preference of a browser and if we agree.


This is why I do not use any chromium based browsers. Firefox is a solid browser with none of this interferance by a monopolistic advertising company.


Firefox receives funding from google.

In 2022, 81% of Mozilla's revenues were derived from Google.

Use LibreWolf instead.


> Use LibreWolf instead.

What's the point when it's literally just a reskinned firefox? What's keeping Firefox alive is also keeping all of its derivatives alive.


Derivatives of Firefox can take or leave features that Mozilla is pushing. For example Pocket isn't in LibreWolf. Google and Mozilla have less influence over what derivatives do - well that's my hope anyway. It's still not ideal. Can you recommend any alternatives that have good fingerprinting resistance and are not Chromium / Gecko / WebKit based?


Having Firefox alive helps Google beat the monopoly charges, presumably


That is very likely the one reason, which means that although Google needs Mozilla to stay afloat for their "See, your honor, we're not a monopoly!" ridiculous argument, they still have a huge leverage to literally force Mozilla to keep Firefox behind.

I wonder if everyone calling Firefox as "Google Firefox" could somehow compromise that narrative.


> they still have a huge leverage to literally force Mozilla to keep Firefox behind.

I wonder if that was part of the reason Mozilla chose to lay off the entire R&D team that was working on their next-generation browser engine that would solve some pretty long-standing issues?

Anyway, building a browser is hard and expensive work, and it was probably a mistake to move away from getting one in a box at Best Buy for $50.
