There are many C++ features that make the language worse. Exceptions is one of them. It’s not strange to have them banned.

Critical systems often only allow you to use a subset of the language. Dynamic (heap) allocations, recursive functions, exceptions are features that are often banned. In medical devices, safety is critical, so it makes sense. Otherwise you could get a Therac-like scenario due to an unhandled exception.

Chromium based ones are at the mercy of Google. Firefox, however, is independent in that sense.

When google decides to drop support for manifest V2 (which is the one unlock origin uses), every chromium browser drops support for it. Unless they make a fork of chromium and add manifest V2 back in. Which means extra effort every time they want to update with upstream, since there probably will be merge conflicts.

Firefox can just not drop support for it, literally 0 effort.

Of course the random dude I replied to on Lemmy owns a set of semaphore flags. What else would I expect?

It’s a simple concept.

You need at least 2 people to form a conversation.

One of them has Whatsapp, Telegram, signal, MSTeams, smoke signals and those flags that ships used to communicate.

The other only has Whatsapp.

They are going to communicate over Whatsapp.

Even if the dude with 1000 communication methods meets another dude with 1000 communication methods, they are going to use WhatsApp, because they are used to using Whatsapp with everyone, so it’s just easier to have everyone on WhatsApp.

They can wipe their tears with the millions of dollars he “extracted” from his customers and his own workers.

Who said that white people can’t cook?

French and italian food is generally regarded as good.

The stereotype is usually that the British can’t cook.

Well, you can say stupid shit and only realize it after you already posted it.

In those situations it’s better to just edit the comment so people can still read the stupid shit with the context that the commenter doesn’t believe in the stupid shit anymore.
