EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:
Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO – you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.
Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it’s not a choice that will be made for you.
Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.
Except… it can, because I did? We’re talking about a common industry practice here, not some enigmatic unsolvable mystery of the universe.
No.
Oh is it? Do you have an assertion for that? You really think that when they say “X slams Y” they’re trying to make you think there’s a physical altercation going on?
You’ll notice I said in the context of headlines. Of course in other contexts slam can mean violence. But because we’re specifically talking about headlines here, not, say, discussing a WWE performance, it’s very obvious what “slams” means.
You’re really going into the weeds here. You asked why they use “slams” in headlines so often, and I gave you an answer. I don’t see why you feel the need to argue about it so much.
They use it because people understand what it means, it’s emotive, and it’s very concise compared to “criticises”, “chastises”, “denounces”, “castigates”, or “attacks”
Actually, based on your previous argument, you’d probably hate it if they said “attacks” too, as you could also interpret it as violence.
I stopped reading. Being an idiot on purpose isn’t as cool as you think it is
It’s just flat out ridiculous to say that the word slam has no connotations of forcefulness or violence. Even if I didn’t put the goddamned dictionary entry in your face to prove it. Bye.
That’s not what I said, can you even read? Are you afflicted with cretinism, lad?
