No, but I am. Your lunch break ended five minutes ago. Get back to memeing. Chop chop!

Why not do it meow?

I’ve been posting more often lately. I’m doing my part, soldier!

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.

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

I guess that’s true, but you’d also have to qualify that as being self-deprecating humor that’s clearly tongue-in-cheek, as opposed to straight-up hateful messages being passed off as humor. Like, “What up, f-slur”, “That was homophobic” for whenever something doesn’t go their way, and “Gays don’t deserve rights” for whatever silly thing they pretend to dislike. It’s all very self-aware and actually funny. The quality is on another level.

Huh, interesting that Limbaugh and Beck had that effect on you. I feel like they weren’t as readily accessible as modern right wing talking heads. What changed for you? What made you realize things and turned it around?

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.

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.

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.

It used to be until recently in the US of A.

I think they were joking.

Lawmakers Have No Idea What They’re Doing

Sounds like a headline for literally every issue regarding technology.

What happened there lol

Slug-free communication. Finally!

Excuse me, but are we forgetting about the miracle of e-ink?☝️😌
