Some of the older stuff is indeed that way, but there are more and more features which Firefox can’t support. Web-based custom keyboard configuration tools, tools to flash phone firmware, and one niche MiniDisc tool all are chrome-only things I’ve had to open Chrome to use

There’s not really much actual solid research which demonstrates that calorie-counting is an effective method of weight loss.

Moreover, there’s not really much solid research which demonstrates that weight loss should even be the focus of improving our health. People who are considered “overweight” based on their BMI score (which is another completely arbitrary and unhelpful metric) should not be focusing on weight loss.

The thing that people should be focusing on is simply any type of regular physical activity. It doesn’t particularly matter much what that activity is, it’s far more effective to choose an activity you enjoy.

But if we bully dorks that means people will bully me as well :(

Yeah, but that’s my point, not everything works in Firefox now - even though admittedly it’s relatively niche stuff - and my prediction is that if we continue on our current course Firefox will either have to compromise their commitment to privacy and security or will become more and more unusable.

calories are an arbitrary metric anyways, wood has a ton of calories but you can’t digest it, so they’re a very vague guideline at the very best, and misleading at worst

We’re going to have a serious problem on our hands soon with compatibility. I’m a software dev and I’m already seeing a few issues here and there where Chrome is being treated as the default expected browser and features don’t work on Firefox.

Firefox doesn’t support a fair few Chrome features because of security and privacy reasons, such as WebHID, WebUSB, etc.

Devs, please stop using those features. I know it’s tempting, but they’re basically bribes to encourage you to sell out to Google. Don’t do it.

That is one of the worst-written things I’ve ever read in my entire life. It reminds me of reading Jordan Peterson, like the author thinks they derive authority from how obtusely they can phrase simple concepts.

Maybe some people think this kind of writing is clever or impressive, but it just reeks of insecurity to me.

I don’t think bullying dorks who cosplay as their cyberpunk OC will help. Bully billionaires instead.

It would be if Mac’s held the dominant market position for computers, yes.

I don’t really understand your comment, sorry - I can’t tell what you’re disagreeing with, because the part you quoted was just me expressing my initial emotional reaction to reading a comment, which you wouldn’t necessarily have shared.

I don’t think you can really seriously argue my main point, it’s really not uncommon for leftist movements to collapse from in-fighting

Socialism is when Linus does stuff. And it’s more socialism the more stuff he does. And if he does a real lot of stuff, that’s communism.

The far-left is the furthest possible environment from an echo chamber imaginable. We literally can’t stop arguing with eachother over the smallest details. I’m far left and my first instinct when reading your comment was to be annoyed and offended that you lumped me in with some other group that considers itself far-left but I just consider to be wrong.
