  • I didn't know about otter, I was just starting to look for more since I miss the days of uzbl and all its inspirations. As far as I can tell, qute is the only one that survived

  • FYI, the new midori looks like a shameless clone of floorp. The only differences I can find are the default bookmarks and that floorp updates faster.

  • If anything, I would guess probably reddit since it kind of evolved from the early forums where it came from. Twitter has (had?) a much larger userbase though, so that's not a bad guess either. 🤷‍♂️

  • Where the hell did you get HTML from? /s is a tag literally made to denote that a given text is sarcastic. It's one of the few good things to come out of Twitter?

    ...that is much older than Twitter:

    This symbol is an abbreviated version of the earlier /sarcasm, itself a simplification of <\sarcasm>, the form of a humorous XML closing tag marking the end of a "sarcasm" block.

  • It's so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.

    Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as "eye rolling?"

    You only interpret '\s' as sarcasm because of html and sarcasm beginning with the letter 's'. If you don't think pictorial eye-rolling 'looks' like sarcasm, just consider it almost like hieroglyphs.

    Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.
  • Public services aren't efficient, but they can surely change themselves more efficiently than they can force a multi billion dollar company to change its ways.

    [citation needed]

    I'm surprised you're not more worried about the government outsourcing its functions to a company you seem very suspicious of.

    You're the one talking about all the alternate video services you use. I just dont want a monopoly.

    If the government decided to have vital public meetings only in a private venue you have to be a member of or something, the proper fix is not to force the club to accept everyone, it's to have the government stop having vital meetings in private places.

    wut. Not having meetings in private places literally is making sure the 'place' accepts everyone. Do you even read what you're saying?

    I also don't see a problem because everything of value these video streaming services offer is replaceable by one of the many other streaming services. The fact that YouTube is the biggest or most recognized does not change anything for me. The fact that there is some content that is only on YouTube doesn't, either.

    Well, you totally missed the point then.

  • The efficient solution to that problem is governments using a different platform that's actually neutral.

    First time I've heard public services called efficient, but ok.

    I'm not being disingenuous. I watch videos on a bunch of platforms. It's easy.

    We're not talking about you here. You're purposely ignoring the problem, and therefore being disingenuous.

  • There are countless other video streaming services.

    There are government websites - including my state's dmv - that exclusively use youtube. You're being disingenuous when you're saying you can just use another streaming service (and I don't believe you don't know it).

  • Is it more anti competitive than McDonald's only selling McDonald's burgers

    Yeah, it's more like the next time you go to Wendy's, McDonald's will follow you and try to lock the doors before you go in.

    Iran warns Israel it will intervene if Gaza operation continues, report claims
  • I just realized you're not the same person, but your response is still weird given the context of the conversation.

    Original below, but ignore it I guess.


    Because at some point people have to figure out their own shit for themselves.

    Uh...The question was "why is the US so involved with Israel," and you replied it's because the US is against genocide. So then, 'shouldn't Israel be figuring its shit out' without us?

    We usually get involved when things get extreme, or when someone's trying to keep us from the oil (just keeping it real).

    Agreed, but I'm not the one picking favorites here.
