  • "The majority of Mozilla's revenue is generated from search functionality included in our Firefox product through all major search partners including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Amazon, Ebay and others."

    Everything you just said was optimistic as fuck.

    750 employees, 826 million dollars in revenue a year.

    So what do they choose. Fire 700 employees and go down to 26 mill revenue?

    Edit: when the hivemind disperses and sees Firefox follow Google in using tokens and blocking ad blockers, you may not see it as one of the dumbest thing you've read before.

  • 2 years from now Firefox will have blocked adblockers, and there will be chromium based browsers (not Chrome) that won't have them blocked.

    I don't see why people seem to be thinking a large company in a capitalistic landscape isn't going to side with profits. Firefox will oppose it openly right now and take the new users and then move to the same without lube and without apologies.

    Small browsers that still have some morals before going public will build browers off chromium because of its ease, and they will be able to exclude those blocks. Likely means we will be using different browsers every few years until something else changes.

    Maybe I'm pessimistic here, but anyone who just moved from Reddit to Lemmy should know that Firefox isn't the answer, it is another greed driven overlord.

    Mimicking the tokens on the otherhand... those sites we will need to boycott if possible.

  • My only thought (plausable excuse) is that he is possibly sucking up while expressing discontent under the false pretense maybe Musk will pay him losses. Whether he likes him or not, he should know someone thay disagrees with him will not get paid but rather sued for existing.

  • In the U.S. prices for meat are artificially brought down through subsidies. I searched around and saw that in 2015 the cost of beef was brought down to roughly 1/6 the cost.

    If we subsidized plant based meats like that they would be less than half the cost of beef. That would bring more people to eating it (not everyone, but many) and that should in theory reduce emissions for all those supplemented purchases.

  • Had someone ask me why their phone didnt make noise or vibrate when they recieved calls the other day. They were pressing the volume down button with the unlock button to get the screen to turn on/off. So it would slowly mute the phone and take the vibrate off once muted.

    They would have benefited from the buttons not being less than half an inch away, and possibly on the opposite side. (Not sure what kind of phone it was, it was a cheaper device it seemed.)

  • Teaching a kid there is a time and place to use their devices is educational. Confiscating personal property to limit access is just creating problems.

    Also, who is paying for the $2000 smart phone that got cracked/lost/stolen while confiscated?

    As I said in a comment above, good luck not getting sued by the parents during a school shooting / emergency and their kid cannot contact them.

  • Let me play it back.

    1. Woke is to be aware / including being against slavery and for human rights.
    2. You said you were against people "pushing woke"
    3. That means you would be against people pushing awareness for womens rights and anti slavery.
    4. I was saying don't say you are against people pushing woke if you are not under those beliefs.

    That is all. Media such as Fox news and politicians are intentionally trying to distort a term and make it hated. Then trying to put things they don't like under that term to make people not like those things.

    It's like me saying I am against the use of the color red, and wondering why red shirts fall under that.

  • So you are saying you are woke when it comes to women's rights.

    Also it is widly agreed that trans won't compete competitively in professional sports for women.

    If you don't want people to see you as being against/for said things, don't say you are.

    The point was don't say pushing woke shit on people and not realize that means pushing anti-slavery values and equal rights for women, etc.

  • Well that's bullshit.

    Also anyone anti-woke is by definition must fall into a category of pro slavery, pro women not being able to vote, anti civil rights, pro totalitarianism.. and the list would go on. Anti-woke would mean asleep and letting the world piss all over you and you never even noticing.

    But sure though, hold onto your "programed" terms like woke and ride them into your ignorant rabbit hole.
