Yeah sure, fine for the SME sized business and I've done it in the past for features like offline web behaviours (wasn't public facing). But tbh it's a shitty excuse even at that size and outright inexcusable for Adobe. I wouldn't get away with this at my current place which has significantly less resources than them. Don't make excuses for Adobe and it's a weak excuse at best.

As a developer with 7+ years industry experience this is a very weak excuse to not support browsers.

Differences in features are usually down to bleeding edge stuff and I don't think your example of sort would apply because the end result is the same.

I know Adobe are more prone to using newer browser features but there really shouldn't be anything that's not simple enough to assure support across all browsers. Especially for a company as big as Adobe. It's inexcusable. We rarely have to use polyfills now, that was more a problem when I was starting out, mainly due to IE11 still holding out.

I would love a way to optionally post a location while choosing specificity, i.e. United Kingdom vs Newcastle etc. That way I can filter communities and posts to just those in a location I like.

I think it could lead to some really cool interactions and ways of looking for things.

I think this is somewhat strawmanning what the point of the argument in this specific case is. They're not appealing to nature being good, that's not the argument.

The point is that if you are genetically selecting for specific genes through modification then you are circumventing the typical process for genetic change. There are lots of unintended effects of genetic changes and there are lots of corrective mechanisms built into DNA when genetically modified through selective processes rather than direct gene splicing. Science is always slow to catch up with analysis of an entourage effect where many other small factors may influence results long term.

I'm not anti GMO and this isn't my opinion as I think GMO products have amazing potential. I'm just sick of people on my side totally misrepresenting this argument as "hurr durr nature good." It's such a smooth brained take.

Yeah someone always comes out the Woodworks from Phoenix to tell everyone how they're babies. Once we start hitting more high wet bulb temps everyone's fucked.

Yeah but the tool chain isn't a poorly constructed house of toothpicks

I think some reservations can come out of the idea that the natural environment isn't producing these genetic changes. Just to play devil's advocate.

Edit: does nobody fucking know what devil's advocate means? This isn't my opinion christ. Also there's a bit more depth to the argument though that you guys seem to be really obtuse about.

Yeah you're right, it's one of those small complaints that's gonna always come from a small group of people. It's just media; people get so nuts about this site like everything should always cater to them...

Gets weaponised too I've seen people try to link this bullshit to "wokeism." As if that's the fucking problem with Hollywood.

Actually reading that article you linked it doesn't seem that debated and there isn't really any evidence of her being black.

Just block the user, clearly a troll or troglodyte looking at the comment history

How hard is a QR code? That has a bunch of error correction

Reminder to everyone reading this BLOCK THIS USER

Take a look at their post history and how they interact with anyone. It's condescending, vitriolic and pedantic at every turn. I don't wanna see comments like this as they literally just go out looking for arguments. It makes our communities worse and leans into the idea that redditors are pedantic assholes.

If you just block them then they can fester in an argumentative corner with the other cretins. The rest of us can have chill open discussions and actually behave like normal fucking human beings.
