Fundraising time for the 2024 elections

CSS needs baseline rhythm for typography. I hope it happens in the next decade

I wish the US had the guts to do things like this, but I suppose they don't due to lobbying.

I'd say about 15-25% of Meetup's revenue comes from people who don't know they are still paying for a group, because its a subscription that only gets billed once every 6 months. So many groups are dead. Before the pandemic it might of been maybe 5-10% but afterwards its much much higher.

Odds are anyone you unsubscribe from will spam you in a newsletter. Even if you opt out, you'll be re-added a year or 2 later. I've learned to use certain gmail for certain sites/services to prevent them spamming up my personal domain emails.

I really hope they make it 1 click to cancel as a law, I've had to call in my CC as stolen at least 2 or 3 times to end something or to prevent some trial period from charging me.

We can’t even get minimum vacation days, good luck on this.

How much did they lobby for this?

That would just be gamed like everything else. Downvote the competition, pay SEO folks to rank your stuff high, etc

It was the death of web 2.0 for sure

I think it was political pressure at the end

Were the PPP loans part of the reason???

Do people really need college to grow up?

10 hours in advance is not enough time for the weekends, people plan there weekends days in advance and sometimes weeks. A weekday is a lot easier

Hosting costs, spam, upgrades, plugins, maintenance, customization, it’s a lot of work.

#1 thing I’d like to see is to be able to set a baseline for typography using native css with calcium and other tricks

In the beginning they had no idea how bad things would get. And keeping the hospitals from being overburdened was a big reason as well. Did they err on the side of safety, yes and thankfully it wasn't a worse virus. I have no doubt even if it had been deadlier people still would of done whatever.

XD will die, no matter what Adobe says.

Funny thing is Adobe let Fireworks languish after acquiring Macromedia, which was a good tool as it was to do UI.

I've been using Thunderbird for decades, nice to see color is back!

They want to control it because the real web can destroy their app market. Oddly enough their clamp down, may destroy it anyway as game streaming is going to make strides to get past it. It may take time but it will happen and then they will lose their money maker, because it will all be web based and they will have not offered anything else so they will miss out.

They make billions off the apps and have yet to implement something like that

If you want this to take off, please provide compiled binaries for MacOS and Linux

Part of it is, that everyone already has heard about Google. Trying to get another search engine that people trust and have heard about is hard, not to mention it has to work decently.

All the arguments were the same over and over. I remember reading the same comments that would come up all the time, the discussion got old.

Plus the topics were very Linux, DRM focused. Digg had newer more interesting tech topics

FF user since it was called the Phoenix Project.

Donating money isn't going to help them. It might help them look good to some techies that follow that information, but otherwise most wont care.

Mozilla needs to focus on other products to use in tandem w FF. Email service that is private, VPN (i think they have a partnership), Thunderbird, zoom like platform. They need office/business solutions most likely. Devtools, dev services, etc.

I'm not saying forget FF, but they can't just focus on 1 product or they are doomed.

It would of never been lowered to 15% without Epic starting this whole thing

Run FreshRSS on your own server, its good. Not perfect but very good.

She'll probably get 6 months in jail and then another year on house arrest.

Even if you use patreon, people get greedy and eventually will sell out and put up reviews of stuff for affiliate links, free products for reviews, etc.

That kind of article is trash anyway, they should limit it to 3 or 5 bikes not 10. Many best "auto" reviews simply have a category so they dont piss off any one auto manufacture.

Even if you look for the top 10 trucks, they will end up showing all the major brands, because they will break it down for: 4x4, extended cab, full size, mid size, ...

Lists are mostly garbage because you dont care about the top 25, you really only need to know the best item and the next best at a certain budget

What powertoy does snap zones?

Big forums can cost a lot of money to run and managing the spam can be a mess these days. Not only that the boards that have enough proper tools to deal with the spam aren't free. Sure there are plugins for some forum software that fix a few things, but often you have to install 6 plugins and that still isnt enough, plus then you have to do updates and hope it doesnt break those un-official plugins.
