Almost all of these IDEs have language-specific features in them. PyCharm has Scientific tools (like SciView) for generating graphs using code and data. Rider features a pretty nice Windows Form builder for generating and creating GUIs for applications. Etc.

I can't imagine it being very useful or practical to unload all these language-specific plugins each time you open the program to write in a language that can't utilize those features.

That's correct. Even with this backtrack, it's a safe bet that they'll likely re-introduce this same policy with different wording once they believe their consumers have calmed down.

What an interesting year. This has to be the 4th or 5th large tech-centric company that's

  1. introduced some really shitty policy
  2. pissed off it's consumers
  3. then backtracks to some degree after backlash

Just like every other company that's done this, the backtrack is likely meant to appease the consumers before the policy gets re-introduced later. Perhaps with slightly different wording.

I posted the list of alternatives simply because OP asked for forks.

What’s wrong with Firefox

Me posting this list shouldn't be an implication that I believe Firefox to be bad. I'm offering alternatives as the OP requests.

and how do the forks address those points?

Every one of the links I shared have detailed information about how their product mutates the original Firefox or Chromium browser. Do you really need me to copy-paste that information into a comment?

Not the OP, but here are some alternatives anyway.

Firefox:

Chrome:

And she hasn't transformed into a mindflayer? She should harness her Illithid powers. The Absolute's clearly chosen her as a True Soul.

Hell yeah. Xfire, Counter Strike Source, and Toonami made up the bulk of my childhood. I hardly hear it talked about anymore

Glad they included such an expansive space combat update in this release. For a while it seemed like ship combat was an afterthought, but this update really does add depth to it.

I wasn’t implying they get paid better. The comparison to views vs plays was done to address the “It’s not a song” comment. How did you get that implication from my message?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’s semantics, but the equivalent for a song would be plays. I think the problem with using views or plays for a metric like this is that they don’t account for people that take in the entire piece of media. It considers people that accidentally click an episode and then close it after some seconds, and people who watch an episode from start to finish, to be the same. One of those people are going to see a lot more ads than the other, thus making the company more money. Just my hypothesis tho.
