Exactly this. The only way this notion gets entertained beyond just straight up dismissal is bribery and corruption.

I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?

Wanna know what’s funny? I work for a company that develops web application for business use. Officially, we claim to support Chrome, Edge (this was pre-chromium Edge but the terms haven’t been updated), Safari and Firefox.

Unofficially? Most of us only test in Chrome and call it a day. I’m literally the only one in the company actively testing Firefox first, and then MAYBE checking if Chrome works. Because 99.99% of the time if it works on Firefox it works on Chrome.

Now, that has at times brought some problems to light that would have been undetected since from what I’ve understood, Chrome is big enough to start introducing ways of doing things that are not officially part of any standard and just… brute force their way to make it de facto standard. But each and every time someone tries to get away with using breaking non-standard things, it usually gets caught because I’m apparently the only one left who actually gives a fuck about the promises made to customers, as well as the web diversity. Even if we are a small company with a website that gets used mostly by Chrome users, I’m looking out to that 1% or whatever the most recent statistics for our user base was.

But I did also mention Safari is supported. That’s a different beast and I don’t think anyone in our company tests on that, since it’s mainly windows PCs all around. I had a chance to get a new work laptop just recently but didn’t dare to go for a Mac because our test automation code base might have still some windows dependencies and I didn’t wanna start dealing with those just yet, but next time I probably will. On another, newer project I work on I’ve picked Playwright as the test automation framework which has capability for testing on Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, so that should at least be covered. The legacy projcet could maybe be ported on that as well (currently using selenium on that one) but it’s a big hassle and there’s no way I’ll get the green light from higher ups to do so without proper justification and proof that it would improve something.

But yeah, when ever I test manually and go elbow deep into it? It’s Firefox first and whatever I have time for afterwards. It’s worked so far, can’t see why I would need to stop doing it this way now.

Actually the more I think about it the more it seems like the only, legally fair decision. Either all of them are demanded to allow alternative app stores or none of them are. Why should the consoles be any different in this regard? 🤔

Reminded me of a Finnish rock group called Leningrad Cowboys. They were big over here I think when I was a kid at least.

Vaikka se on vastaus edelliseen kommenttiin, se ei poista sitä tosiasiaa että se viittaa silti samaan aikaan edelliseen kappaleeseen. Ei se konteksti nyt oikeasti muuta tätä mitenkään paremmaksi tai vähemmän pahaksi vaikka miten kovasti sitä yrittäis spinnaa.

Siltä vaikuttaisi, tuossa itsekin hieman tutkiskelin asiaa. Ilmeisesti tuo lasketaan kuitenkin 12 vuorokaudeksi tuo Oeschin pesti ja Junnilan pesti lasketaan 11 vuorokaudeksi. Joka tapauksessa, ennätys on nähtävästi rikottu.

Jo oli aikakin. Ihmettelen syvästi että kesti näinkin kauan.

Mietiskelin myös, sattuuko kukaan tietämään mikä on suomalaisten ministerien historiassa lyhyin aika mitä kukaan on toiminut ministerinä? Meneekö tää lähelle jo jotain ennätystä?

I used a small script I made by running it in the Comments and also in Posts section of Profile and it worked fine. So far none of the comments or posts have been restored, but I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I didn’t have that many comments or posts to begin with (like 5-6 posts and around 200-300 comments). Regardless, I’m still keeping my account for a bit so I can monitor for a month or two what happens. Here’s the script I used: https://pastebin.com/1w2nhCn9

Note that my JavaScript skills are not that great, but it should work. Might need to scroll down the page first though since not all the comments/posts are necessarily loaded right away.
