“It doesn’t affect me, so if it affects you, fuck you, I don’t give a fuck.”

A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

Now we’re judging articles for quantity instead of quality?

Who uses “lame” in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

I’ve seen some inclusive tech docs in which they (ha!) use “she” instead of “he” or “they.” I thought that was cool.

Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

People don’t need to build model trains either.

The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

I hate that word so much. The_Donald scarred me.

Thank you for your service, ociffer.

It’s the “most wanted” language. I don’t blame common folks associating “most wanted” with “I want this!” when in fact they don’t mean it.

I think about the amount of thought and research that many of my friends have conducted when naming their children (including looking up famous real and fictional people with that name, doing word associations, etc). Then these guys come along and just say ‘fuck it, let’s just call her after that blonde girl off TV, Khaleesi I think?’

What’s funny is that back in ancient days, nobody gave a damn about how to name their kids. “Got a baby? My name is Paul. Let’s call him Paul McPaulson. Ok… back to the fields.”

I don’t know, man. It may sound stupid because we know of the show. But if you separate the show from the name, Khaleesi doesn’t sound half bad.

Even its other meaning, which I think means “queen” or something (right?) is okay. The name “Reina” (literally “Queen” in Spanish) is acceptable - sort-of old-fashioned, but acceptable.

Having said that, yeah, I usually roll my eyes at parents giving kids names because of some show, movie, song or celebrity with a weird name.

My son will be named Barack, as God intended.

Yes, it’s Firefox without the bullshit.

It’s ironic that Firefox started the same way, actually.

When Netscape open sourced its browser and then fucked it up, some folks took the source code and built “Phoenix,” much, much later becoming Firefox.

Sure, sure, other browsers do it. But I expected more of Mozilla.

Pocket was already bad enough, but it was kiiiiinda related to browsing anyway - it was a glorified bookmarking tool. It had a nice purpose too - save pages for online reading - but they seem to have gotten rid of that and I’m mad about it.

And that’s the bullshit part. It shouldn’t be native. A browser should be a browser.

And why is it useless?

It’s not useless. It’s just that it’s bloatware that’s unnecessary for many.

Like a car with a bright orange “Order Bird Food” button in the middle of the dashboard. If you don’t own any birds, then it sucks.

Best I can do is accepting three options: “Yes,” “No,” and “Remind me later.”

“Not now” or “No, I don’t want this awesome feature” bullshit infuriates me.

I puked a little when I read both names in the screenshot OP posted.

At this point, I’m glad I switched to Mull on my phone. It took a bit of overcoming the resistance of using Firefox for decades (Stockholm syndrome), but I don’t miss Firefox one bit.

Now I need to do that on my desktop, but I’m still shopping. Librewolf? Palemoon? Ice Weasel? What are folks here trying out these days?

You’re welcome.
