Nope. A bunch of conservative accounts have already been banned including American Renaissance which has not posted anything violating Twitter's terms of service.
TypeScript seems to fix nearly everything I had a problem with regarding Javascript
Runtime type checking. Unfortunately it all falls apart and requires you to do everything manually when you care about runtime data (reading in a JSON file, getting in data from the network, etc.) I really wish they had included runtime type checking as a goal of TS but alas they didn't.
I have a question for US people: why don't you have lots of ISPs, like the UK? We basically have a bunch because of Local Loop Unbundling, which allows other ISPs to use the incumbent telephony provider's hardware for the last mile. According to the Wikipedia article, "the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that ILECs lease local loops to competitors (CLECs)." So why don't you have a bunch of ISPs too?
Actually, this is a special case in English. This is an acceptable form of the phrase. A famous phrase using the same form is "all that glitters is not gold".
So constant telemetry back to Microsoft and forced updates and reboots aren't that bad? Both used to be considered flat-out bugs, often unacceptable ones. This is some grade A astroturfing.
Or maybe just maybe not everyone is as partisan as die-hard Democrats, and they can have voted for Trump but still oppose the end of net neutrality because they don't have to support everything he does? Just a guess.
I always like to remind people that this thing was older than Chernobyl. This was NOT a modern nuke plant with decent safety features that went meltdown. There is no comparison.
I've been using Windows 7, Linux Mint (which still runs Linux kernel 4.4.0), and a Cyanogenmod with Android 5.1.1 and I can't remember the last time I had a significant OS-level problem.
People massively overrate "new" and "shiny". Stuff that's old and aint broke is pretty good.
So basically Firefox is simply implementing what is already standard practice otherwise on competing browsers.
Yeah, I forgot that the whole reason you develop a browser is to make it exactly the same as all competing browsers. There was me thinking it was about providing users with choice. What a silly notion.
My games website was somewhat popular (1000s of views per day and this was the mid-90s so was a kind of big thing then) and I had a guy who regularly updated it for me. One day I decided to overhaul the design to make it something I thought looked more appropriate. I asked the guy and he said he didn't like it and preferred the current one but I was sure I was right so I ploughed ahead and replaced the site with the new design. He left, and the site viewership dwindled down and never recovered.
Mozilla kind of reminds me of me from 20 years ago.
Is that REALLY the criteria you judge software on? The shape of the buttons and tabs?
YES. The size of buttons and other UI elements, the colourfulness and skilfulness of the icon design to make icons clear and pretty, and the fact that the UI functionality is even there in the first place (bookmarks sidebar, separate search bar, status bar, live bookmarks toolbar, etc.) are all important.
If I can't plug in a real keyboard to a laptop my WPM is gonna go way down and mistakes up. I have no idea how some people use laptop keyboards as their main keyboards. The key travel is inevitably crap and the layout is subtly different enough in terms of spacing that my muscle memory will screw stuff up all the time. I love my cherry keyboard. So much so that I bought like 20 of them so I never run out as I destroy like 1 a year. And it has a British layout with a proper big Enter key.:-)

By your own admission, you gain, at the very least, security from dumb, lazy hackers.
And you lose a convenience for the user who can't remember what username they signed up with.

Yeah. Fuck WoSign with a bargepole, they ruined everything. :-(

Anyone who calls an OS that reboots uncontrollably for forced updates "stable" is flat-out certifiable.
It reboots uncontrollably.
It spews telemetry out over the internet.
Both are unacceptable.

Nope, when I hit Windows and search for Documents I get my Documents folder. Oh, I'm using Windows 7, not that pile of shit they're shipping now.

You joke but I believe this is exactly what Arabic does.

So those groups *would* be OK with being replaced in their own country?
Nonsense. It's become a racial term (at least in the US) which people clearly understand to mean "at least darker skin than pasty white".
And Nigerians generally want non-blacks to not be in Nigeria.
And Chinese generally want non-Chinese to not be in China.
And Japanese generally want non-Japanese to not be in Japan.
And Mexicans generally want non-Hispanics to not be in Mexico.
I could go on. How long do I need to carry on for you to figure out the gigantic double standard of the left wing?
At least firefox will have a way to shut that idiocy off.
It does at the moment but as part of their chrome-parity drive they're going to remove that feature to improve the browser.
Waa waa waa it was insecure, what a bullshit excuse. It worked perfectly fine for me for years (and still does with Pale Moon).

Seamonkey is dead in the water. Once XUL support is removed it will be gone.

It annoys me that they are making a backwards incompatible version, though. All the time I spent learning the language gone to waste.
This is Google we're talking about. Angular2 broke Angular1. Don't use them if you don't want your stuff to break.
