    We got electric cars when all we had was the internal combustion engine. What a silly metaphor.

    But it’s nice to hear you admit that I was right, and that the browser could definitely still be developed. The proof, of course, is that there are dozens of web browsers out there in active development.

    I have no idea exactly what that means.

    But Apple provides extensions for most functionalities, but, as you mentioned, they’re more limited because Apple used to require that extension developers register a $100 per year account in order to develop extensions.

    They don’t do this anymore, but it was a big reason why Safari got held back, especially in the beginning of the browser wars.



  • While you are technically correct in that, everyone operating in Europe is required to comply with a GPR, there are many who don’t. And they face varying levels of punishment.

    But Saudi Arabia is not in the EU, and social media company can register in whatever country they want despite their ownership.

    So what will happen? They will fragrantly violate the GDPR, and escape any fines due to jurisdictional limitations. And even if they do face fines, there are some… “Political “ways to negate them.

    Sadly, even Europe, as progressive as it is, sterilize on Saudi oil. That can always be used to pressure government representatives into complying with their well rather than the Will of the people.
