Some german politicians have also tried time and time again to establish data retention policies because "think of the kids" argument blablabla. But so far they have failed to do that as it was proclaimed unconstitutional by our federal court. Some politicians play with the idea from time to time tho.

Honestly at least they'd be forced to revamp their business model and focus on their users. I'd willingly donate to them monthly if it went to firefox directly and they acted in our interest accordingly

Looks really cool. I hope we don't have the overreliance on one rendering engine in the future. Once one or the other comes out I'll definitely try it out.

I feel like this argument is fair enough. I think a pop-up informing the user about it and how to opt out is sufficient.

Google just maliciously makes their websites work way worse on Firefox. For YouTube I personally just use FreeTube on desktop and Tubular (A NewPipe fork) on Android so I never have to interact with that goddamn website

Echt? Wäre stark wenn das stimmt, muss ich überprüfen!

Again, that’s not how it works. If you allow currently poor countries to develop, they’ll stop providing cheap labor and raw materials to wealthy countries, and stop buying expensive manufactured products like cars and planes at a premium. That’s what the western welfare state relies on: exploitation through unequal exchange of the poorer regions of the world

I don't agree with that assessment. I believe that the amount of manual labor and cheap outsourcing isn't needed for wealth. I believe we could all increase our standards of living

Nun wenn es auch nur auf Filme und Serien erweitert werden könnte die ich mir z.B. auf Amazon kaufe. Die Lizenz verlieren und dann in einem Abo den Film nicht mehr schauen können ist eine Sache, aber wenn ich ihn explizit kaufe und dann den Zugang verliere finde ich das schon verwerflich, dass das system das überhaupt zulässt.

I get your point. It's sad that for example football stars get millions a year while the people required to run a country don't get a good pay. But large parts of a society for example highly value those stars which is why they're so well-paid.

How’s that not a bad thing to reward people based on?

In an ideal world we could do that, but only because you put a lot of effort into something doesn't mean it is of higher value to society. If its standard stuff someone else could do or you just aren't better than many others you don't get valued as much. If everyone worked the same job (Its a ridiculous example, I know but stick with it one second) and worked their ass off it would just be nearly worthless since all the other jobs would be empty. Thats how the economy allocates the work force.

Nordic European countries have rather decent social welfare, agreed, but their economy is as sustained on unequal exchange as those of the rest of the developed world. In the case of Norway arguably more since they’re oil exporters. My point being, not every country, not even most countries, can be like Scandinavian countries because they rely on exploitation of people outside their borders.

This might be true, but even more industrialized countries like Germany or the Netherlands have a decent welfare state. They export a lot as well, yes, but I don't see it as much of an issue if the other countries were more industrialized and had higher pr capita productivity which would leave more things for everyone involved.

The redesign is actually what convinced me to switch to Thunderbird. Otherwise I would've never used it since for me it was an eyesore!

[–] timestatic 1 points 3 months ago

Thunderbird with the Proton Mail Bridge on desktop, Proton Mail client on mobile although I'd prefer to have all my mails on K9 since I have multiple mail accounts and haven't fully migrated from gmail.

As long as they just use it for their community and don't fucking lock documentation behind discord I don't really care. But this trend has been so annoying. Due to this I'm in so many servers I have to quit a server just to join a new one
