The point is that Firefox market share isn't indicative of anything useful.

A better comparison would be something like revenue - if Mozilla makes more money, the CEO can earn more.

Mozilla does a lot more than just Firefox and I'm fact increasing revenue from other sources should have been a priority anyway

I gave up on spirited away half way through it.

Ghibli it's very hit and miss for me, it's either really amazing or really tedious and boring.

The hicks in letterkenny are not hateful at all, they're very open minded and accepting.

They do hate on "degens", who are more like the hicks you're familiar with.

Thanks for the tip on Read you, I've tried a few RSS readers and not been entirely happy but this one seems nice!

You don't hate Charity, you hate that charity is necessary.

We should not have the problems that charities exist to try and solve. I think most would agree with that.

The problem is that people couldn't agree on which areas we should tackle first. Is it sick kids? Cancer patients? Mental health?

We can't do all of the things, that's the real issue, so we end up picking and choosing the things we feel are most important. And that's what charities really do, they give you a chance to pick the thing that matters most to you.

That's not quite accurate.

The onion's bid was technically lower overall, but they made an agreement with some of the victims of Jones' harassment that would make them better off overall.

Essentially one group is legally owed 97% of the proceeds of the sale while everyone else gets what's left. The agreement was that instead of a 97:3 split, the smaller group gets a bigger payout and the larger group gets a cut of future ad revenue.

Everybody wins in this arrangement, except Alex Jones. So everyone wins.

We're not getting out of this unscathed.

The infighting and arguing is, at best, the grifters trying to secure the best grift for themselves at the expense of everyone else.

KFC's reasoning is that the chicken supply industry hasn't transitioned to more humanitarian chickens yet, but frustratingly the article doesn't validate this claim.

It KFC is correct and they're reliant on an industry that hasn't got the supply it needs, then it's impossible for them to meet the targets they set and it makes sense they would have to walk back the pledge.

However if the industry does have that supply, then KFC is full of shit.

So which is it?

So is brown. Brown is dark orange.

Don't worry about not having any insights, I still valve-ued the pun.

They don't give you the answer, they give you a rough idea of where to look for the answer.

I've used them to generate chunks of boilerplate code that was 80% of what I needed, because I knew what I needed and wanted to save time.

I don't think you can claim that the team behind concord is incompetent. I think they delivered something that nobody wanted but they delivered that competently.

I agree that incompetence generally doesn't end up with a good product but sometimes even good competence all around doesn't win. Sometimes it really is luck and timing.

Corporate meddling gets blamed for ruining things all the time but the truth few want to admit is that some amount of meddling is necessary.

Look at all the big flops Xbox has released over the last year - Redfall being a prime example. We kept hearing how Microsoft was happy to leave those studios to it, to give them the time and resources they needed and they still released dog shit.

When it comes to AAA, it's so expensive you need some amount of corporate input to make sure people will actually buy the damn game.

Of course there's extremes to both sides - pretty much anything Activision ever touched was ground to a lifeless micro transaction shell.

But everything we know about concord is trekking6 us that the team itself, including the big bosses, were overly positive internally. Nobody had the balls to interfere.

If they had just one exec who was willing to piss the entire team off, maybe the result would be different.

.. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem calling it "peasant class"? It's the kind of slang I'd use and I always fly economy.

Whoops 😅

I agree this is probably overall a good thing, but I worry if this bacteria thrives due to the amount of plastic around what that would mean for the amount of CO2 produced.

For that chrome book like experience, the genuinely think Chrome OS flex is probably a better option for most people (privacy concerns not withstanding).

It's not a joke.

Genuinely forgot Obama was in his 60's, fuck I'd be glad to be that fit in my 40's.

People blame Google for the death of jabber because of one blog post from a disgruntled contributor but the truth is jabber was never popular and Google chat died as well.

Jabber was a mess, most of the clients were barely compatible with Each other and it was a wild west of feature support. Some clients were well featured with the ability to send richer messages, but typically only worked with a specific server and the same clients. Jabber did a crap job at making sure clients and servers interacted properly with each other and didn't push the standards quickly enough, forcing clients to do their own thing.

Which is all Google did, they went their own way because nobody used jabber and the interoperability was causing more harm than good. It didn't work, Google talk died and many years later clients like WhatsApp took over instead.
