[whatwg] It's BackgroundGeolocation Zeit!

Yeah, sorry Philp et al. I guess I make their case for them. It was a
cut/paste error I should have proof read better. I assure there were no
personal attacks where I was banned from.

It's just that a solution that *no one* has been able to find fault with
has gone begging for two years while Web Apps continue to bleed users to
native apps because of the lack of this much needed functionality.

How can so much money be squandered on a GeoFence API that's now abandoned
and a duplicitous Geolocation sensor API that isn't even in the background
while Cordova/Phonegap laugh in our faces?

The solution: -

Complaining about what happened somewhere else is of no interest to people
on this list, and calling people jerks will get you banned here too.

Mate, how does Background Geolocation get to bypass this narcissistic
obstructionism? Are there no adults at W3C? Oh, Mozilla pays a lot so we
have to have him?
Two years precious time squandered due to him and Jerk bloody Archibald. Is
there no accountability in your autonomous collectives?
Merit-based resource allocation?

posts, as they are just noise.
Apologies to participants in this thread for not taking action sooner. This
individual has been trolling our community for a long time, and, despite
numerous pledges from him to behave - or claims that he will go away, he
keeps coming back.
"Noise"? Was there someone else that contributed anything useful? Fine, ban
me (again) but burn my books? Really?
How do you blokes live with yourselves :-(
BTW. I believe you should update your CoC more in line with the other
communist regime's banning of "disagree": -
“Disagree”.

Just replace Weibo with W3C/IETF :-(

PS. I've heard that North Korea and the Church of Scientology are also
doing great things in the free-speech space.

I guess that's why, when I lived in Munich, the English cinema was

packed

with locals (who seemed to laugh at odd moments :-)
Anyway what has to happen to get Background Geolocation up?

You have no need to reproach yourself Chaals. If you dekete your post

then I will have dekete mine then we’ll end up in a cycle of

revisionism

and book burning.

It's a noble profesion with an honourable history....
C’mon, we were a little bit funny?
Well yeah, but to be honest only a little bit. And only in English. I
watched Princess Bride once in Spanish and realised why my spanish

friends

didn't think it was funny. The translation is shit - totally lacking in
grace, humour or style, as is far too often the case for translations

into

spanish.
