Nothing is mediocre about it. All of the “best” browsers are based on FF’s Gecko engine. Maybe they have complaints about Mozilla or the weird stuff they’ve been doing with FF recently. But the actual Gecko engine is solid, and it’s what all the best browsers are based on.

“Violence is only for us to use. You peasants don’t get to use it against us.”

1A Auditors are people who show up in public buildings and annoy the government employees, with the express purpose of being asked to leave. As soon as an employee asks them to leave, (or even asks them to back up a little bit and give them some space), they make a huge scene about how it’s a public space, “I pay your salary”, and the employee is infringing on the person’s 1st Amendment rights.

Even calling the board “Trump loyalists” is an understatement. Trump hand-picked the board members, has the ability to remove them if they step out of line, and installed himself as chairman of the board. The board is a bunch of puppets, with Trump’s tiny baby hands shoved all the way up their asses.

I’ve thought about doing a transparent purple shell swap. Very reminiscent of the old GameBoy Color case.

Or he just didn’t pay attention in class when it was taught. A lot of students treat history as irrelevant. It doesn’t help that a lot of public school history teachers are the equivalent of a dad watching World War 2 documentaries. Lots of them basically teach history so they can be a coach instead. Because public schools don’t hire independent coaches, and require all of them to teach something. So the coaches tend to fall into teaching history, because it’s easier than learning to teach calculus or chemistry.

In the US? You can get fired because the manager doesn’t like the color of your shirt, or the perfume you’re wearing today. As long as they’re not being discriminatory against a federally protected class, (sex, race, religion, old age, disability, and national origin) it’s legal. Welcome to something called “at-will” employment. Meaning the employer or employee can choose to terminate their employment contract at will. They aren’t required to wait out the end of an employment contract, because the contract can be terminated by either party at will.

And even if they did fire you for being a member of one of those protected classes, (for instance, if they fired you for being a woman, or for being black), you’d need to prove it. And unless they were stupid enough to put that shit in writing, you’ll need to do a lot of investigative work to prove a pattern of discrimination.

Those db0 kids are chill.

Yeah, looking at the commit history from before db0 was officially blocked is interesting. It started with a content warning system. It was designed to give users a “be cautious when interacting with this instance, they encourage violence against people they disagree with” warning. Conveniently omitting that the “people db0 disagrees with” are typically straight up neo-Nazis and supes. Apparently the dev takes issue with “punching Nazis is okay” types of comments. And then a later update silently added the blocklist instead of a content warning.
