They didn’t make the first one! They got it from Apple, who themselves got it from KDE.

If you somehow failed to detect the sarcasm that comment was absolutely dripping with, that’s on you.

Sounds like a great metaphor for Snaps, TBH.

I use Ubuntu and drink instant, in both cases because I can’t be bothered to expend more than minimum effort.

Anticopyright diatribes are the important part!

Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?

Yeah, I would only do this if I lived alone or only with other males and had no SO/post-puberty daughters/close female friends.

That’s really interesting!

We’ve been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college’s test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that “This extension reloaded itself too frequently”. It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google’s part.

Brave was astro-turfed by crypto-scammers for way too long to give people suggesting it now the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).

Oh, fuck. I really wished on the monkey’s paw on that one, didn’t it?

No. No, we can’t “move on” from the election, because elections have consequences. We will never be able to “move on” because we will be continuously fucked by those consequences, in the ass with no lube, for the rest of our lives.

Even if Trump and the GOP give up power and the US holds free and fair elections in four years, an absolute fuck-ton of permanent damage will have been done in the meantime.

Chrome’s engine was originally forked from WebKit. That makes them too similar (even years later) for WebKit to count as a real alternative.

“Basic competence?”

Democracy supporters have to win every single time, while the fascists only have to win once. This is not a sustainable situation. We have to do what is necessary in a way that’s a lot more permanent than just winning an election.

I was about to reply to the same thing to another comment about 300 tabs, LOL

We have that already; it’s called a bicycle.
