If you look around, fast food places and Pepsico and everyone price gouging, it's a race to the bottom for a last cash-grab before what appears to be an inevitable recession -- brought on by some of these same conglomerates. Mass layoffs (tech sector over 250k layoffs last year across the board), among inflation just murdering people's wallets. Credit card debt is over 1 trillion now, people are "surviving" off of high interest debt to maintain life at this point, but it's not sustainable at current rates.

You mean the whole licensing ordeal? Retroactive type crap? I know a few developers personally that dumped it entirely because of that. Although I heard they backpedaled a little bit on that part because of the backlash, but the damage is done, trust is gone.

Why is nobody looking at actual border control stats?

382,847 encounters FY2024YTD. Does that not concern anyone? (Edited to reflect @OptimusPrimeDownfall's update)

FF has way too much groundwork laid and way too much mindshare currently (especially given the rust language and all..) If, for some reason, thousands of devs just gave up on mozilla, more would continue the path and fork it most likely.

I was going to say this but fear of mass downvotes kept me quiet. Glad I'm not the only one. I've worked for tips but I'd rather just work for a reasonable wage instead, remove the guesswork and chances for abuse.

I think you're right. People say I use the word "terrorist" too much, but this fits the definition in my opinion.

How to win at life: death threats to supreme court justices. Like wtf? Who even considers that an option, ever?

It would be nice to eventually develop an RES-style firefox extension for keyboard navigation and whatnot.

No I was using reddit since 2009 or so. This is the closest alternative I can find to escape the cesspool that it has become.

Cool story. ['buzzword1', 'buzzword2', 'white supremacy', 'shitlibs', 'republican', 'imperialism'].join("GodlessCommie's useless banter.") looks about how you sound on average.

True but it does seem like a good sign of a healthy ecosystem.

I could see myself implementing that via API calls into the app to write my own git repo out of the data. Not sure if joplinapp or any of these apps have APIs, but I would hope so.

I mostly ditched them many years ago because of privacy concerns (or lack thereof.) Around when I stopped using Dropbox too (same reason.)

Ahh, it's been so long since I tried any nintendo emu. I just bought a new wireless gamepad, I should really try yuzu soon.

I agree generally. Here lately I've taken the plunge and compiled everything from source (Linux). While tricky on some, (dependencies mostly), the outcome is unusually stable. More stable than expected.

Is that on Dolphin?

Conspiracy theory: lemmy created this troll specifically to experiment with engagement in the comment section. jkjk

Imagine spending your life on lemmy shitposting about whatever the fuck it is you are ranting about. It's not going to have any impact, so why yell at the screen in front of you?

Perhaps in a trebuchet for maximum range?

"As always" is pretty strong, even in this context.
