You’re technically right, which is the best kind of right. It’s a destructive CEO story who just happens to run a tech company (into the ground)

This is like the Spanish guy kissing the winning footballer woman on the lips against her will. It’s going to be reported under sports, but really it’s a sexism story that just happens to be in sports.

But at least it is being reported and commented on, no?

I think mozilla succinctly explained the flaw in the proposal. Introducing technology to make the lives of the majority better is great, but if the necessary side-effect is to permanently exclude a minority of people from the internet, then that isn’t cool.

I’m a big fan of publii - nice to use, simple, no server-side stuff, so free web hosting should cover all you need.
