But the alternative seems to be browser exposing APIs for all those permissions through Javascript and the end-user not really having any control over that. Perhaps I'm just naive about it, since I really don't do Javascript-based development, but this seems to be a worse idea than apps.

Super-late to this, but I always find https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX4uJUwSFwiY3XBvu-F_-Q to be interesting. Not sure if this is exactly relevant to the question, but I feel like I learn from it anyway.

> Homepage says supports up to 62000blocks per dimension, which, conrary to their claim, is quite small.

Indeed. Minecraft only gets ~256 in the Y-direction, but allows you to go ~30,000,000 in the X/Z-directions.

    32. People’s names are assigned at birth.
    33. OK, maybe not at birth, but at least pretty close to birth.
    34. Alright, alright, within a year or so of birth.
    35. Five years?
    36. You’re kidding me, right?

Seriously? That seems like a really weird - to say the least - decision to make about something this important...

Why does "white"/"male" matter? I understand that this is potentially a very contentious question, but I genuinely don't understand why those are listed in the title, or why "white" was the first in a list of insulting words used at the end of the article.

Hah! Plain white bread is clearly where it's at!

Just the bread. Grey is a more automatic way to spell it than gray, for me.

>As in, "you Grey Breads remember using C++ and MFC, etc."

As one who is neither "Grey" nor "Bread," you may wish to check your spelling :)

But yes, it's kind of sad that this is the way things are now :(
