Venia Silente

What are those benefits? The only potential one I have direct experience with (besides speed) is that the connector is reversible, but even that’s small-time and a flat out objective downgrade compared to the circular connectors of the 90s, which could be plugged in regardless of orientation.

Sure, if you want; as long as whoever does that retrofits all my USB-A devices.

Wow hadn’t seen that image in a good while!

It changed my economy game.

Now I have to buy an USB-C to USB-A adaptor to plug USB-C stuff into my already standing devices. Honestly, no idea why didn’t they make it connector-compatible. Wasn’t that the entire point of the “U” in “USB”?

At least we’ll always have the ironic laugh at how the US, a country with guns for everyone, didn’t even get a tin medal in shooting the Olympics, and how the US, a country with the 2nd Amendment, can’t even kill a tyrant right.

Which means 15m people don’t mind being fascists, which functionally is the same as they actively want to be fascists.

But hey at least they don’t want to be Canada… I guess?

…What, being like Canada? 👀

Well, then kick him out. Or maybe guillotine him out, so that he doesn’t return.

Like, if people were actually that irked that he won, they’d be doing something. But no, from what I hear El Trumpo actually won the popular vote: the US wants to be fascist. Maybe Canada too. (No, not as in the US wants to be Canada… although that’d be an improvement…)

They didn’t even hand me a uniform or a qt cap, and they work with Node.js despite several warnings; I ain’t representing shit.

If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company.

I’m not. Corporate is paying for my work (and barely, at that, given current rates), not for my ethics or for my ethical standing before other people who might not work at the company. If you believe otherwise, you might have been brainwashed by corporate-paid education.

So, lemme get this straight: Wikipedia is being censored (worldwide, might I add) because a party complains that they are reported of as being accused of a thing, or because of the thing itself?

Well, given the kind of company, it’s not like you’d obtain a consent if you asked. They’re too busy getting that Israeli money.

but feel the punishment does not fit the crime.

Agree. Was too soft. She went in and charged to vandalize and attack asylum seekers. Maybe some exile will teach her some empathy on how those people were already feeling.

“could wipe the disease out”

…“but won’t, because thanks to Capitalism it will be non-affordable.”

It’s impressive. Any other country in the world that was bombing two (2) (Dos) countries at a time nowadays would get hell of flack.

But not the 21st century Nazis, not them!

No hope, no cope. Just a basic understanding on how the HTTP infrastructure and time dilation work.

You can have one or two execs, as a treat; but certainly they don’t need to be paid crazy figures like what has been the case with Mozilla as of late. It’s not like they’re that important, in particular for the kind of project something like Firefox is (which could do with eg.: coop governance).

Okay, but what if after all this legal action Mozilla decides that it’s no longer worth serving the privacy conscious crowd? Which browser will you use then?

Firefox.

Just because the execs decide to stop serving the software, doesn’t mean the copies (and source code!) already out in the wild will automagickally stop functioning. You’ll still be able to visit websites the day after, the month after, the year after… And there’s still the devs, since they’re not the execs.

By the time there’s issues, there’ll still be the forks. Someone will have already step up to fork and keep the work on their own, too; the name just weighs enough that someone will want to be “the next Firefox” (not “the next Mozilla”). Or even better, the devs (obvs not the execs) will have jumped ship into any one of the various alternative projects such as ladybird, or might even have started a new project from scratch, hopefully intending for it to be a leaner and better browsr.

NOYB would’ve done much better by talking to Mozilla directly and advocating for them to do the right thing going for a legal complaint as the final nuclear option. I

It has been already vastly demonstrated by Mozilla, that going to them and talking to them about how they shouldn’t do shitty things doesn’t work.

If it takes legal action to even try and save the browser, I’m all for it.

You mean killing children as par for the course, or killing people who are attending a funerary rite for other people who were killed by the same killer, is somehow not an atrocity?
