Ah thx right right I forgot how it’s all laid out now exactly, it really is a similar way of handling feedback + contributions though. I’ve taken some space from those discussions since they straight up wormhole me back to a bad emotional place 🤣 I wasted so much effort on Mozilla as a kid, it was like a direct transition from video game forums + modding

Hey write this up for them, it’s constructive, I have zero leverage over them & I agree with you that redesign time could be better spent on other stuff (although it’s not as if one dev is necessarily better off reskilling and reorienting for it & this may not cost as much momentum as it appears), it’s overall an issue of the browser being under siege.

I probably went too far in framing misconstructed feedback as the primary culprit when the important issue is how they process it + contributions.

Downvoted for having fun and playing im showing my wife this

Funny as hell to crash out over this like they’re completely disassociated from their school-bombing colleagues. The entire supply chain is complicit past the point that wields monopoly/monopsopy, which you are directly adjacent to and compacent towards. Where does that leave us, banned man? Where does it leave us??

[murdering thousands of people] guys do you realize your leaders are as bad as mine? can you be serious? i’m trying to elect White Obama 3

Anarchists delfate class tension by providing right wingers with an ineffectual target that paints itself & dissuades the masses from organizing except “autonomously” (organizing without organizing), they increase international tension by discrediting those who push back on propaganda directed at nation states the US wants to dismember. Sometimes they actively support proxy groups like the YPG. What happened to them btw? Haven’t checked in a while.

Evangelicals are just antichrist worshippers so that’s all baked in. Anarchist movements at least historically had a different character in that they could be a part of coalitions. Those ones mostly became Marxists. Like the Maoists and Trots, the anarchists in the west are kept on life support to act as flypaper

If by bringing about the end times you mean slavishly adhering to imperialist ideology, sure.

Thomas Jefferson raped a 15 year old girl and enslaved her offspring. Scream this at every American you meet. Now that’s proper propaganda

I would argue this kind of blanket condemnation of Mozilla Doing Anything could be used by the Google opps in the org to justify adding more “premium features” that make money (but really don’t) instead of improving the goddamned browser and convince them we are not worth considering anyways, which WILL kill the browser. The default launcher on one of my ereaders has a fucking dead Pocket button and you think I’m not pissed off at this lol

This isn’t ideologcal creep that can be forestalled by purism and hatred of sidebars 😭 the corporate side of Mozilla with push that stuff whether or not you complain about the occasional good thing they do. Please get a grip

One of the most irritating things about their management is these delays, the worst of which can be seen with Thunderbird/Betterbird situation. Community has been waiting years for shit that was already fixes to be added & they won’t add QA testers

Liberalism and conservatism are both offshoots of economic liberalism, favoring the rights of private property owners. Read a book

You can. For now.

my god you’re right, they’ve sold out to Big Sidebar. the problem with their Sync is that it has no self-hostable e2ee option and you need to use Firefox servers that use Google stuff. comparing apples and rotten oranges most of this is silly

God forbid the most unresponsive software dev group standardize a feature remade 4+ different ways by the community, years late

Guarantee you can turn off the sidebar. They already have this and it can be disabled. Why not use it for three seconds? I despise the Mozilla NGO stuff ruining Firefox but this is utterly benign. Dynamic colors are cute and fun.

You really want to give your email provider your phone number. “Privacy” for instances that assemble botnets and block VPNs doesn’t even include avoiding metadata collection. You guys are simply very salty and lazy that the best-advertised options are all connected to NATO intelligence agencies. Which really should be obvious to any person that hasn’t thrown their intuition in the garbage due to its interference with their entertainment. You really bought the Swiss Nazi neutrality ploy, closing in on a century past its expiration date. Is this not bleak?

@ferret@sh.it.just.works you guys can do it! so close!

Very Serious About Reposting

There is a fair bit of stuff pulled straight from Reddit tho in addition to the scalping from unfriendly instances

oh yeah he always does that lol. there are a whole bunch of botnet instances run by power moderators from reddit who hate the people who devote their spare hours to make free software :0
