Hallo Herr Professor? Bitte scheißen Sie einfach rein!


I miss when websites were fun.


And another set of features to disable.


Of archeologists don’t know it: “for religious reasons”.
Ask them if they can give you their phone so you can check on what they’re doing online and on their phone right now. Because, why would they trust a large company more than a good friend?
Edge cases are not the norm, though.
“So, you leave your door open because locking it is useless because someone can break in?“
This is why no-one in the right mind uses Sylpheed, but the actively maintained fork Claws Mail (which just recently had a new version released).


users can disable ad blockers on conforming websites.
We all know that this won’t happen. In reality there are only two major groups of people: Those who do not use ad blockers and have accepted ads everywhere, and those who use ad blockers and accept ads nowhere.


Overall, I don’t think Mozilla is wrong. Without the Google Search deal, Firefox will have less resources to build a competent browser.
The vast majority of the corporations income does not go to Firefox anyways. Their financial reports are publicly available, everyone can read them.
I have zero sympathy for the corporation and I hope they go bankrupt and that the devs forking the browser and develop it as a standalone product independent of the Mozilla-owned Firefox.


And nothing of that was done in a great way. The only Mozilla product that does not is Thunderbird - and Thunderbird is independently developed by the community.
(I am aware of the community theme, but I still stand my point here: Firefox is the only non-Chromium browser that does not completely suck, absolutely. But seen as a standalone product, Firefox is not a good browser.)
Jacob named HDDs, too!
Thunderbird is the only Mozilla product that doesn’t suck!

I don’t see an issue with that at all. It’s even in the name “role playing game”. I am playing a role in that game. A role that is not me.
Whenever a game allows me to play a female character I play a female character. I am a boring white male IRL, so please let me be a magic warrior princess in my games!
I gave up Bash scripting. I explicitly do “shell scripting” now, where “shell” is implied to be a POSIX compliant shell of any type.
Nothing beats an after-lunch depression nap for 9 hours straight and waking up on the sofa at 3 am.
