Airplane! lapped Zero Hour! so hard most people don’t know about the existence of the latter
by who? where can i read it? how did i not know this? this sounds fascinating!
which is to say: terrible
LibreWolf, though zen seems really hopeful
my attitude has been that firefox is bad, chrome is worse. our best bets right now are servo and a firefox fork. so i use a fork. i use a fork because i need a daily browser and servo isn’t at all ready. the hope would be that firefox volunteers start working on the fork as they get fed up, and that the current maintainers of the fork continue gaining experience building a good browser as mozilla commits assisted suicide
he’s the ceo and chairman of the board. that’s a huge blast radius for “the only problematic thing”
also the vehicles themselves have a litany of problems and are the most dangerous vehicles on the road.

they don’t have to! they microsoft explorered that shit
the idea is more like… once you realize that nothing has any predetermined value, you get to be the final arbiter of value. you can take stock of that your ancestors invented god as an expedient to create shared community values. god doesn’t exist though. but what really mattered was that your ancestors wanted to have shared values. you can actually skip to the end and create shared values because you and your community accept them as good.
it’s a common misconception/misinterpretation that nihilism rejects value systems entirely. it’s more like what to once you realize they don’t exist without support from you and your people.
spam bot. tho there is a funny timeline where she’s legit, just really excited about the fediverse, and all us are clowning her for it
JD Vance has denounced the annulment of last year’s election as an indication of European backsliding on democracy
i denounce jd vance backsliding democracy just to do it
the antichrist is charismatic and weilds religion to do things against what christ taught by tricking the people to believe he’s the second coming. nothing is new, and a guide to seeing the warning signs of all this is published within their religion’s manual. but they’ve all been taught since birth to misinterpret the warning
maaan could it be any clearer the republicans hate our Ukrainian allies. this is a slam dunk easy win and still they’d rather capitulate to the russian overlords. you know, until 2016, the one thing in america you could count on was no politician would fuck with russia. republicans hated them because they used to be communist, democrats hated them because they’re openly fascist. now we got a weird mix of republicans loving them because they’re openly fascists and certain “leftists” loving them because they used to be “communist”
maaan we’re all out here falling for the oldest trick in the book. a populist is out here lying about what’s the plan and people are buying it. it’s so sad
steve bannon calls it flooding the zone. it’s a classic russian trick, too. the government lashes out omnidirectionally because it’s just about seeing what the people are capable of preventing right now
your understanding of what the proposed header solution is is way off base. “protecting the kids” isn’t about keeping adults from interacting with kids in online forums, it’s about keeping the kids from accidentally seeing porn (really it’s about making the lives of sex workers more dangerous). think of it like a tv v-chip but for the internet, not as a nightclub bouncer creating two different online communities and making sure they don’t interact with eachother
the whole entire conversation about pronouns was exactly a conversation about this. the request to change to more inclusive pronouns was a request that he make the project more inclusive to people like us, the queer community, who have been getting pushed out of open source ever since brandon eich was named ceo of mozilla. andreas kling’s response was that we were being too sensitive and he didn’t want to scare of contributors by getting too political. the problem is that in saying that, he’s saying he finds one set of contributions and politics acceptable, and another set not.
the same goes for his responses to people asking him to leave twitter. he says he would rather stay on twitter because mastodon is too political. and there it is again. twitter, at the time of the conversation, was already becoming a nazi cesspool that people were leaving en masse, but because his tweets got more engagement there than on mastodon, he stuck with twitter.
i’ll gather some links for you after work, but i’m just… a little surprised you were familiar enough with the situation to know it happened and not familiar enough to know the context for why it mattered
i think he’s referring to mozilla accepting money from google to let google be the default search engine for over 20 years, which 5 years into that deal, google started using any search made through not chrome to pipeline people to chrome
the ladybird dev wants to work with people who want me dead. so. yeah, fuck him. mozilla ain’t great, but they’re the least dangerous engine builders right now. servo would be a better engine for us to rally around, but everyone would rather talk about the less mature, more fascist accepting, project.
nazis are bad. that’s the hill i’m willing to die on. this is bigger than a browser engine.
the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he’s said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said “hey, let’s adjust this language” he was like “let’s not get political”
it’s that he likes chatgpt better than grok. he’ll still tweak chatgpt once he has access to it to make it worse, but at the core of what he wants is to own chatgpt and rename it grok
