Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”
Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”
Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.
You think it’ll take that long? Seems optimistic.
Misread the summary to say data driven delusions and that seems accurate.
Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.
Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?
So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.
It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…
Surprised consultants are pushing the latest fad? No it’s what businesses want to hear.
Concerned they’re pushing the bubble? No more than the rest of it.
Worried a machine will be lying to me about timelines instead of a person? That’s innovation for you I guess.
Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…
Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.
“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.
Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?
Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.
That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.
But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.
