a bunch of shitheads spammed CSAM on lemmy communities, and since lemmy caches images that have been federated, a lot of the big servers basically had to fully purge their images
The speed at which it takes to make something. We had a vulnerability with a JavaScript library in an old app that I do minimal support on, I said that it only uses like 3 or 4 libraries, so depending on what it is the whole frontend may need to be re-written. IT: "Ok well we have to get that expensed." Sure bro let me just bill the client that is paying for it and error support 20k for new dev time. Nah, the fix is gonna have to be a workaround on your end, we do not have the bandwidth and they don't have the capital.
I used to have small moments like that just before waking up. I vividly remember seeing a vision of myself dropping and breaking one of my mom's favorite mugs in a dream, and I woke up and I told myself never to touch that mug again.
Well, come one day in winter my mom asks me to make her some hot chocolate while I'm making mine, sure enough, as I'm walking with her mug to the counter I drop it and it shatters exactly as I had seen in the dream.
It's so frustrating because it's like, you're not showing me to prevent it, WHY am I seeing it???
It's not a bad browser, the reason it's hated is because Google is using it's near total market share to push ads and other bad practices onto the entirety of the Internet. The more people aware and fighting back the better. That's why I personally no longer use chrome even though using Firefox at first was very different and a bit hard to get used to.
Chrome is a good browser, and Firefox is a good browser they're just different. They both do all those things you mentioned.
The biggest deal is that chrome is closed source, and run by a company who is literally legally required to turn a profit anyway it can because it's publicly traded. They will do whatever they have to to continue to turn a profit. Quality of the Internet or user experience be damned.
Firefox on the other hand, is made by a company that is not only not publicly traded, but it's a non-profit. Firefox is also FOSS (free and open source). Mozilla literally wrote the MPL (Mozilla public license) that's used by several different FOSS apps.
So, the options for modern browsers are:
A. Use a chromium based browser or use chrome, supporting a company who is incentivised to make everything as for profit as they possible can
Or
B. Use Firefox created and maintained by a nonprofit who is trying to push towards a more free and open Internet.
That's such a clever joke lmao, man I have to finish futurama
