Not all heroes wear capes. Some have rubber necks. 😌

Whaaat, the party of small government is doing this? Impossible.

Telegram groups is where it’s at. ;)

Same, but a bit longer for me. I still find it crazy that so many people want to move to the US. It’s not the place people dream of.

I agree with you, but I think you’re taking one idea to leverage another to arrive at a conclusion that I’m not promoting. The other commenters seem to have interpreted well what I’m trying to say.

I’m not so much pro-Palestine as anti-Israel if that makes sense. I realize the conflict is complex and they’ve all been horrible to each other for as long as anyone can remember, but Israel’s bullshit has gone too far. It’s inevitable to side with the Palestinians who have to live in terror every single day.

Because voting red has worked well so far? I don’t get the logic. There aren’t any other options.

Amen. 🙏

Awesome. Another reason to never give them money again. 👍

It gets quite silly when you blame the entire dev community for supposedly downvoting you over ideals rather than being overly strict about them. I also prefer HTML-first and think it should be the norm, but I draw the line somewhere reasonable.

I can’t get to that page, so I asked a question

Yeah, and you can run the innocuous JS or figure out what it is from the URL. You’re tying your own hands while dishing it out to everyone else.

Not idol worship, rather, it’s silly to complain about JS when tools like NoScript allow you to selectively choose what runs instead of guessing what it is. It’s simply a documentation page like it says on the URL. I mean, they’re incredibly tame on the danger scale to leave your guard all the way up and instead take a jab at the entire community that had nothing to do with your personal choices.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

The AI bullshit features as you call them are completely non invasive,

And yet I had to turn them off in about:config, not even in the regular settings. Why are the settings hidden? Why can’t I turn them on if I want them? Why isn’t opt-in and transparency their standard approach with such a controversial feature? Those are some serious dark patterns for a company advertising itself as user-friendly, that they had to backtrack on when they saw the community uproar.

Now it’s happening again, but on the developer side.

Stop the bullshitting and complaining over things are completely irrelevant

Irrelevant? I can’t afford AI threads running in the background, hogging my memory and processing power away from my productivity apps for whatever bullshit they decide to add that barely relates to what I use a browser for. I don’t live in a “first-world country” with standard hardware. That’s the whole reason I use Firefox, for the respect for their users that I have grown accustomed to, which they now seem to want to ignore. It’s a huge violation of trust that you’re downplaying when they want to add things first and apologize later.

The bottom line is that their approach has shifted recently, and I have every right to criticize them for it when they say one thing and do another.

The only important part was the first. I kept thinking, how in the world is it acceptable to charge that much for a degree and endebt students for the majority of their lives? What if you fail to find a high-paying job to pay it back? People would simply shrug it off as if it were normal and shared “tips” like paying the minimum of $50 forever without caring that they’d end up paying twice as much as they borrowed.

And because of that, our high school admins made sure to show us that trade jobs and community college were viable alternatives. I took the third option because of the family circumstances at the time.

'Twas I!

No longer? I didn’t see them as worth the cost fifteen years ago. That’s why I emigrated back to my home country so I could study virtually for free.

I still use Firefox every day, but I don’t trust the corporate overlords to do what’s right long term. They seem to be getting greedy instead of listening to the user base. They’ve started including AI bullshit features for the sake of it, like grouping tabs by content that nobody asked for and that barely works for me. I’m not anti-Mozilla, but I sure am weary of it and would welcome an alternative.

I haven’t come across any open source comments, but those seem pretty clueless.

They’ve also been propping up the market with some sketchy circular deals, swearing up and down they’re not like Enron.

The fucking irony.
