Changing your search engine doesn't stop Google from controlling 80% of Mozilla's revenue or almost the entirety of the rest of the browser space

I just don't like that we're relying on the goodwill (or need for token "competition" to try to avoid antitrust) of Google for Mozilla to stick around, an ad company shouldn't be de facto controlling almost every single browser

I've always been curious how many lines of code in Chromium and Firefox are from salaried software engineers, and how many are from community contributions

Arguing with someone, within the confines of the marketplace of ideas, about how the marketplace of ideas should be abolished, is a fools errand

If they refuse to even agree to the basic social ground rules of discourse whatever they have to say isn't even worth entertaining

Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it's just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn't some online tool to easily look them up)

Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I need to run a DNS server on a Pentium II system
