Sometimes I feel like Firefox wants to be very visible while you’re using it so that you know you’re using Firefox. A great browser should disappear into the background most of the time.

I have no problem with highlighting a new feature by default, but making it impossible to remove doesn’t win you any favors. I feel like there are a lot of tab management things that Firefox is very proud of and wants people to use that are just not that useful. Especially when they haven’t finished implementing vertical tabs yet, which has been a requested feature for a decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Firefox, and I think it’s a great browser, but these little bad PR missteps make it really frustrating.

Even George Bush Jr. understood the concept of “you break it, you bought it.” It is clear that Netanyahu sent troops into Gaza with no consideration for either 1) How basic needs like food, water and shelter would be provided to impacted civilians, or 2) What system of leadership would maintain order in Gaza following the war.

War crimes are war crimes whether they are by design or by incompetence. Israelis who are protesting the war rightly point out that this is not making Israel any safer, nor leading to the release of hostages, nor the return of the more than 100,000 internally displaced Israelis.

This was pretty useful to me.

For android, I use Feeder, but I’ve also enjoyed Cappy, Neo Feed, Twine, and Nunti. Nunti is a really interesting one that uses a local, private smart algorithm to show you more of what interests you.

That’s surprising. I found it be underpowered as an RSS reader, personally. Although I am really only using it for news - I know some people who use it for videos, etc.

Feedly, Fluent Reader, NewsBlur, yarr, etc.

Thunderbird is fine, but I don’t really want to interact with my feed how I interact with email.

Well, they’re not called the Tali-permit

Does that include mud flaps??

Fair… but recognizable. I meant in the generic sense like Kleenex or bandaids.

There is also liberapay, etc.

Sovcit probably shouldn’t post your entire VIN on the Internet either

Do the eyes glow red if it becomes self aware?

There seems to be this very unpleasant new model of development, where companies start off as nonprofits, often employing open source or permissive licenses. Then at a certain point once they have leveraged that to scale, and they snap back permissions and licenses or close new development. Then they transfer ownership or organizational structure to be for profit.

I think it’s a really toxic and damaging approach that jeopardizes the social contract making open source software possible.

I almost feel like we need a new system for open source that examines organizational structure. An open source project that’s receiving millions in VC should not be in the same category as an open source project that’s funded on Patreon or directly by users.

The messed up part is that Facebook actively pushes this garbage. I use Meta for work/networking, and I have this stuff on my page all the time. You can’t block it because there’s so much. You can’t report it; the Facebook reply is basically, “no, nothing wrong here. It’s supposed to be like that.”

And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!

“It’s called by the codename ‘Conversion Therapy’ so call or write your senator and tell them to ban conversion therapy now!”

It’s basic decency to me. You don’t have to like someone to be courteous.

Maybe it has different social significance in UK

This isn’t Monsters, Inc.! Look at this, gee whiz! The place isn’t powered by screams! Can I get one person in this dang haunted house in my side here? Don’t you know global warming is real?

Aw, for cripes sake! is that an INCANDESCENT? Yep, I can feel the heat coming off of it. Where’s the ladder in this place?

I love that all of the countries of the world tend to experience ups and downs with birth rate. However, only China, does away with the complexities of economic incentives, fiddly laws, educational programs, and delicate immigration policies. Rather, the government approach is simply, “stop having children!” “Now have more children!” “Go!”

Dumb question, but how does it know where it is on the map? It’s not like there’s GPS on Mars.

It takes the mi5 to figure that out? Seems pretty obvious to most of us.

Such a promising form factor, killed by Microsoft ineptitude.
