  • 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





  • 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.





  • 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

    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

    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.
