Okay, then I don't like how she refers to people as inventory, but how the sentence would parse that way also; seeing how it's close to an interesting truth, instead of some blurb only advertisers would care about. HN doesn't stand for Ho News, does it. So there.

You're right, that would be great... also, showing the sidebar panel when moving the cursor to the edge! I'm a total Opera fanboy, but yeah, this kinda sucks :)

Points re:webmail also taken ^^

> “It will certainly open up Facebook inventory to companies that want to reach people in this manner,” she said.

I like how she refers to Facebook users as inventory and people at the same time.

Also, I feel like some Bill Hicks ^^

Can Chrome display your bookmarks at the side in "split view", with bookmark folders and bookmark folder contents in their own pane? Really? Thought so...

Well sure, and Opera has extensions, too. It just does some things out of the box that you can't even do with extensions for other browsers, OR for which you have to pay the prices of longer startup and constantly checking for extension updates before starting up.

FF (and Opera, and all browser) extensions are great; as long as you don't have many dozens of them. Then you really really want those features done in core code, not in Javascript and what have you.

Opera has an inbuilt IMAP client... which I admittedly never use, but between that and Thunderbird, why would you even want to use webmail? Of course it should still work, even though it's silly, but you also "should" not even notice that it doesn't, is what I'm saying. Certainly if you imply your time is so precious, heh.

And what is wrong with F11?

The bookmark management, hands down. Other browsers are for testing and sites that don't work well in Opera; while Opera is for organizing all of the things, especially with things like nicknames for bookmarks and created searches. It also has plenty of themes which actually change how much space stuff takes up... hmm, it's kinda like KDE versus Gnome, with Opera being KDE ^^ There may be apps for Gnome to make it more configurable, but that's just not the same...

Same here -- I'm not a fan of anything but self-hosting, but I LOVE the simplicity of this thing, it's very sexy. I just wish it would support OStatus, for example. There's depending on third parties, and there's depending on third parties :P But that's what open source is for, right?

"Just say: Dude, that is probably offensive."

Dude, that's kinda weak.

No discussion, at all? Bleh...!

Oh well, it's not like I have anything insightful to add myself right now, I'd just like to heartily agree with this:

"I’m sorry if this post has been a long and rambling read. It’s a topic that I feel strongly about. I believe in equality–regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, etc. I want to live in a world where, as a white, heterosexual male, I have no special privileges. And, I’m happy to use whatever privileges I may have today to help achieve that goal."

I'm really happy for platform-specific development, and I'm gonna let it finish, but cross-platform development is the most cross-platform development of all time.. of all time!

I was just typing up a reply saying just that in more words when I saw yours; so for the sake of efficiency I'll just make my post a pointer to yours ^^
