Yes.
Not interested in putting them in the cloud in the slightest.
99% of what's on my desktop i don't want/need on my phone, work or whatever.
People misusing tabs for bookmarks need to get their head checked.
Surely the only way you find anything is in the address bar anyway, an there they are equivalent.
It's like using Chromium or whatever clone-a-chrome is hip at the moment. That does absolutely nothing to disrupt the status quo and is very much at the whim of the upstream "owner" whether you want to see it or not.
When i have joined a new project, i have asked for a "safari" from one or a few senior people. Show me "the big five" of your area. Pretty simple to find time and willingness for generally, and it's been a good amount of info to digest at once.
The fault goes deeper; they say X percent less counted in percentage points of the compared thing and not the baseline. If you then have multiple rows, the uselessness becomes evident.
Is it some cultural or linguistical thing where it always has to be X amount more or less and never "Y% of"?
What is it with people and not understanding percentages?
"How Much Less Do Techies Get Paid Outside the Bay?"
"SF Bay Area 100%"
"Miami -88%"
So people in Miami are paying to work?
And even if it was meant to be relative to a baseline (which is not what it says!); i have a very hard time believing that they get only 12% the pay in Miami compared to SF.
Too far removed or just too technologically inept? Not only was it technologically impossible; but they keep wanting to do things to people's online life that everyone that would never fly in offline life.
It's like they think technology is somehow an optional extra, or even a passing fad that doesn't deserve the same rights and safeguards.
On the one hand this makes me very happy that democracy can actually work things out (and quite well at that)... but on the other hand i'm still horrified people seriously tried to push the original proposal. Not sure what i feel summing up the two.
The problem is Blink might just be too big for what little community exists to feasibly maintain it. If it is just a Chrome that doesn't work an select asinine sites, it isn't in a great position to catch on. And perhaps most important; the point is to have something viable before that even needs to happen.
You misunderstand.
The point is that online services now come with apps for no reason. Very few things are so local that what you say applies. Though those few definitely should be!
And as you are already on to, not all web apps are cloud. What can be on-device webpages (e.g. routers) should be.
Meanwhile most of the world hasn't used checks in 20+ years. Thank god for that.
But for completeness; browsers have been able to use cameras since before smartphones. So of course it can work just the same there.
"Suspicious activity" is such a bad strawman argument, i'm not sure how to address it.
"Just thought you'd want to know your money is gone, lol."
Either you do N+1 factor authentication for real, or you just shouldn't bother.
Browsers have had push notifications for quite some time now too... so even if it was a worthwhile feature, it doesn't need an app.
