CNN? The channel that recently spent hours dissecting every stutter and stumble Biden made and just plain refused to talk about the vicious lies and ad hom attacks Trump spent the entire debate spewing, and just didn’t find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? That’s who they think the left gets news from?

Like, at least put the NPR on there lol.

I wouldn’t mind a more tumor resistant body, this one is my ear canal is getting old.

People pissed at Firefox might not be as receptive of an article straight from Mozilla. Know your audience.

Before you get really upset about this thread, you should read this other one: https://federate.social/@jik/112779924411100427

I’m not thrilled about this by any means, but what Firefox is doing is not what chrome is doing (which is what the op posted thread is claiming). Conflating them serves no one.

You gotta fight, for your right, to protect your intellectual property.

I know you’re going to get downvoted to oblivion, so I’m reaching out to say that I am with you on this completely.

The edgelord “I’m a 90’s kid look how sarcastic and obnoxious I can be I don’t even care (but actually I deeply fucking care)” marketing is terrible. I refuse to buy anything from them on general principle.

Websites too, journalism pages in particular have become just ridiculous.

A nearly full screen ad after every 1-3 (short) paragraphs is just bullshit.

All good reasons to make a decision, I’m not trying to sway anyone in a direction.

I just feel bad when people see drama in a community and wonder if that thing is “safe”. I’ve seen this kind of thing many times before in other communities—PERL, Python, Ruby, Rust, etc—and it never seems to lead to sweeping changes the normal user would notice. It’s pretty safe to assume that day-to-day users of thing can just carry on if they don’t care about the community upset.

It’s probably wise to simply ignore the drama. Open source seems to invite this at the “top” for whatever reason, but for the casual user there is usually little to no impact.

Unless you’re trying to be a top contributor to nix, I would just carry on with normal usage and all the current drama will blow over.

Fuck them and their philosophically similar but marginally divergent opinions.

That makes total sense lol

I don’t understand this. Why would you take a commonly used vowel off of the home row and put it where you have to shift your whole hand to get to it? What am I missing?

They should just let those dolphins go.

Maybe this is a regional thing, but every pizza place that I’m aware of which delivers requires the delivery driver to use their personal vehicle… and does not reimburse for wear and tear.

There’s a reason for this, they want you to download the app because you’re paying for that coupon via primary access to your personal data. Dominos isn’t just a pizza company, for a long time now they have been a data broker too.

Which I guess isn’t surprising, everyone and their mother wants to be a data broker today. It’s a good reason not to install any apps from anyone though.

Have you seen the responses here? Paints a picture on why they felt the need to defend themselves.

I just take it as an opportunity to block people these days. “You gave your kid pizza so you’re a shit lazy parent and no mitigating factor will be considered” is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t need any openings into my attention span lol.

It’s crazy that you went way out of your way to placate the internet assholes and they still found something to be insufferable about.

You’re the one who fucked your uncle, uncle fucker!

Such as? If you have a reasonably priced OLED dumb tv with HDR and 120FPS up your sleeve you will be my favorite internet friend.
