  • Clearly you've never read Hacker News. :)

    Every point I've made has several threads on pretty much every Hacker News post about Mozilla or Firefox.

    I was using Firefox when it was still called Phoenix, and I switched to Chrome briefly about 10 years ago when it was actually a bit better than Firefox. At the time, most people I knew in the tech sector were using Firefox. It's Firebug extension was a major boost for development. Chrome was a bit better and their dev tools were even better than Firebug at the time.

    I switched back to Firefox when I saw the direction Google was taking it, and I know a lot of other people did as well. Still, many people stayed with Chrome. There's no shortage of comments on Hacker News about "I dropped Firefox because X" or "I tried to switch to Firefox but X", where X is one of the things I mentioned.

    Chrome got to where it was in no small part to us "computer people" saying it was good. And now not enough of us are saying Firefox is good. It breaks my heart to see so many young and smart developers choosing Chrome.

    We're heading back to the bad old days of IE dominance, with proprietary extensions, playing fast and loose with standards, and market dominance pushing for things that only benefit one company. ActiveX still gives me nightmares.

  • I've never understood the logic of people who switched to Chrome from Firefox.

    Mozilla has an overpaid CEO, so let's switch to a browser that's run by one of the richest companies on the planet. Firefox broke some extension, so let's switch to a browser that has an even worse extension model. Firefox shows client side ads that are easily disabled, so let's switch to a browser actually run by an ad tech company. Firefox changed the UI to look like Chrome (and they hate the design), so I guess switch to Chrome?

    It makes no sense...

  • Frankly I'm tired of all this "both sides" bullshit and treating every belief and opinion as equal to any other. Her "side" has shown they are not interested in honest dialogue and only seem to care about bullshit conspiracies.

    While I think we should put in an effort to listen to everyone, we're well past the point of these screeching morons having any validity.

    We don't invite flat earthers to geology conferences just because they have some belief or opinion.

  • Are they not sending out emergency messages via the cell network? Is it not on local news and the radio? Doesn't YouTube have the ability to inject regional advertising? Are they not even putting up road signs mentioning the evacuation?

    I don't get how it's Facebook's problem when not everyone has a Facebook account and there are many other (better) avenues.

    Maybe I'm missing something about the infrastructure in more remote areas?

  • Sure, I'll still be sitting with my friends and we can ignore the ML crap.

    I could be wrong, but this just reeks of Hasbro trying to cash in on the "AI" hype. With this and the recent licensing thing I'm hoping to switch to a different system anyway.

    The nice thing with DnD though is you can play in your own way. If you like all the ML stuff, go for it and enjoy it! :)
