Yeah, but that’s my point, not everything works in Firefox now - even though admittedly it’s relatively niche stuff - and my prediction is that if we continue on our current course Firefox will either have to compromise their commitment to privacy and security or will become more and more unusable.
We’re going to have a serious problem on our hands soon with compatibility. I’m a software dev and I’m already seeing a few issues here and there where Chrome is being treated as the default expected browser and features don’t work on Firefox.
Firefox doesn’t support a fair few Chrome features because of security and privacy reasons, such as WebHID, WebUSB, etc.
Devs, please stop using those features. I know it’s tempting, but they’re basically bribes to encourage you to sell out to Google. Don’t do it.
That is one of the worst-written things I’ve ever read in my entire life. It reminds me of reading Jordan Peterson, like the author thinks they derive authority from how obtusely they can phrase simple concepts.
Maybe some people think this kind of writing is clever or impressive, but it just reeks of insecurity to me.
I don’t think bullying dorks who cosplay as their cyberpunk OC will help. Bully billionaires instead.
It would be if Mac’s held the dominant market position for computers, yes.
Humans are more co-operative than bees and ants. Bees and ants are very co-operative, sure, but they only co-operate within their own colonies. By contrast, humans will co-operate with complete strangers with which they have nothing in common other than their shared humanity. Humans will help other humans who they have never met before, will never meet again, share no common language with, basically any number of differences you can throw in there, humans will still co-operate. When it comes to the scope, scale and sophistication of co-operation, no other animal comes close to humans.
There is also still a competitive instinct in humans, for sure, but the drive to co-operate is almost always stronger than the competitive urge. This is why all of our sports have rules, why we have laws to prevent unfair competition, and why we consider selfishness to be a negative trait.
I don’t really understand your comment, sorry - I can’t tell what you’re disagreeing with, because the part you quoted was just me expressing my initial emotional reaction to reading a comment, which you wouldn’t necessarily have shared.
I don’t think you can really seriously argue my main point, it’s really not uncommon for leftist movements to collapse from in-fighting
Marxism is literally just an ideological framework which is used to interpret, analyse and critique the socioeconomic conditions we live under. Discussion and implementation of socialism necessarily implies the application of marxism. What you wrote is a bit like saying that women’s rights advocacy is good but feminism is bad.
I’m guessing you may have meant marxism-leninism?
Socialism is when Linus does stuff. And it’s more socialism the more stuff he does. And if he does a real lot of stuff, that’s communism.
The far-left is the furthest possible environment from an echo chamber imaginable. We literally can’t stop arguing with eachother over the smallest details. I’m far left and my first instinct when reading your comment was to be annoyed and offended that you lumped me in with some other group that considers itself far-left but I just consider to be wrong.
Humans are literally the most co-operative animals alive, which is why as a species we have been so successful. The unique advantage humans have over other animals has been our hyper-cooperativity.
Humans regularly will make decisions which are costly to them individually, but which benefit a larger group. This is reinforced through cultural norms as well.
The modern era has been a bit of a deviation from the norm of humanity co-operating to advance our civilisation. I’m sure that we will correct for our mistake soon.
If your subreddit is big enough and you do anything disruptive they’ll just take your mod powers away and give them to someone else who won’t disrupt it.
The best thing to do is either over or under moderate the subreddit in a way that seems legitimate but leads to the usefulness of the community dying off while also migrating the most useful content off the subreddit.
Uhm, the worldnews subreddit is literally the most astroturfed online community I have ever seen in my entire life. Lemmy isn’t great because it still has Redditors on it, but it’s still nowhere near as bad as Reddit.
Some are decent human beings that choose to use their money for the betterment of humankind.
The world is not flat, stop spreading misinformation.
You’re so totally wrong. Storing passwords in plaintext is such a dangerous, obviously wrong mistake that it can only be considered wanton disregard for the safety and the security of your users, and it should carry the equivalent of a life-in-prison sentence for the corporation which breaks that rule. Not only should the company be completely fucking destroyed over this but the CEO should be criminally liable.
The legal system does not take corporate crimes seriously at all. Perhaps it’s time to take justice into our own hands.

Some of the older stuff is indeed that way, but there are more and more features which Firefox can’t support. Web-based custom keyboard configuration tools, tools to flash phone firmware, and one niche MiniDisc tool all are chrome-only things I’ve had to open Chrome to use
