For me (and I suspect a few other people working with react, but certainly not everyone), the main issue with hooks is exactly that class components were fine, and hooks are fine, and we did not need nor want more "fine".

Hooks feel more like something added to fill in space and another example of the ecosystem bloating itself just for show.

Linkedin has also been doing this for years - tens upon tens of different "communication preference" options. They keep adding more, or renaming existing ones and defaulting them to on.

You're right. Can't delete the comment any more but I edited it.

"it triggers an almost existential crisis in them. It's kind of sad to watch."

Said the person (probably) working in an industry that's blooming, without a hint of irony.

The 90 day limit in Greece is related to how income from the properties is taxed iirc.

Yeah, highly marginalized people have historicaly been well accepted in excisting support groups, particularly religious and local political ones.

Don't check this checkbox if you want to miss out on not getting amazing promotional emails, great poems and the occasional bobcat.

Haven't used android in a couple of years but firefox used to support addons (and it looks like it still does).

One could say the same for the ads industry.

"The national Football League (LaLiga) was fined for offering an app which once per minute accessed the microphone of users' mobile phones in order to detect pubs screening football matches without paying a fee"

Yes, proof of weaponized gdpr use indeed (for very specific filtering cases of gdpr use).

It's like software quality is sometimes irrelevant to monetary success or something.

Yes, the absolutely correct group to take ideas from as far as our semi-long term survival goes is VCs (and the surrounding ecosystem), the same group that made "move fast and break things" the mantra for a decade. Nothing bad ever came out of that!

This would have ben handled by military personnel in the (democratic) west, who would also "have no choice".

Nothing like "loaning" out cultural heritage on the basis of who's the most solvent, museums or rich people.

That's neither what you said nor how museum loans work though.

Loaned items are specifically loaned to be displayed for a length of time, it's not like borrowing a grass trimmer off of facebook.

I'd be very interested to hear about any respectable museum that sends off items that are not displayed to be stored into some rich person's attic (or for display at a private residence as I assume you are implying).

I don't see why you shouldnt come up with such "irrelevant minor stuff" like standard of living, mostly free healthcare & social services (depending on the country etc. You might not want to hear it, but for many people the whole not having to worry about healthcare is a massive benefit.

I'm certainly not saying that a comparison is equal, but it feels like for anyone except the highly paid, the gap isn't that wide all things considered.

I won't be surprised if meat substitutes end up being much more expensive than meat is today (and "normal" meat even pricier). My prediction is for meat prices to rise as more and more people reduce consumption, maybe a couple of generations from now meat consumption will be a luxury item.

Almost as ridiculous as "Silicon Valley is evolving and focusing on employees" I'd say.

For 1% of the users opting out of telemetry. And anonymized. And also the data not being telemetry related.

Technicaly correct, but pretending that this is mozilla going against the spirit of "decide what to share and when" is at best stretching it, and worst case willingly misrepresenting the case.

Ahem - never thought I'd see a link on hackernews glorifying hoarding (the economics type), but here here are.

"Imagine a particular bag of grain that you bought at T1 for 200 francs, and then sold a month later, at T2, for 800 francs."

What about at 1600 francs? What about at 16000? The original argument was about morals, not math or some kind of utopian economy where every transaction is fair.

And the only response, coming from inside silicon valley, is always a callous disregard for anything that might impact that precious financial bottom line.

Authoritarian goverments & dictatorships don't need to ask a phone maker for data, they have already existing structures of surveilance (not to mention their targets don't get to say no to using that fingerprint code).

And denial of service attacks isn't?

So you broke the law, willingly, and got out of it because you have money.

Again, maybe you’re missing the painfully obvious when honestly not seeing any issues with that line.

"Id love to go out but my ball and chain won't let me go"

Or maybe you keep such shitty things to yourself and the painfully obvious is visible to anyone but you.

It's not a war over who can make money online, it's the personal vendetta of a bunch of right wing sexless misogynists.

Yes, of course having to move due to no longer being able to afford living in the place you've lived on for say 10+ years, downsizing probably not only in living space, but also quality of surroundings, is comparable to leaving your college dorm in your early 20s. I guess one way of preventing trauma is pretending it doesn't exist by making ridiculus comparisons.

Yeah, how you cripple an economy is by not letting people take low budget holidays in Mexico and stopping them from buying imported crap off of amazon for a week. National security risk my ass - this is fearmongering.
