This "solution" is fucking stupid. Customers are getting sent a warning label.

News flash: Pets and toddlers can't read.

1. Supporting Canada exclusively for winter beach vacations is not reasonable, a lot of people want to take a break from winter somewhere warm. This used to be Florida / California, let's start going to Latin America and Europe instead.
2. We have to be careful with this mentality, isolationism is the exact kind of mentality we are accusing the US of. Let's keep supporting friendly nations to show the US we have other friends to play with.

Yeah I vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, not Cancún itself.

Oh I think the dirt cheap, plentiful, delicious food is what I'll miss the most in Mexico.

The people are also genuinely wonderful (at least in Cancún / Playa Del Carmen), I've heard the opposite for the Dominican Republic. Don't know about Cuba.

Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It's a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.

Or support Mexican tourism for warm destinations, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

You: "Public opinion is tanking, so it must be true!"

Them: Provides detailed, sourced information that explains the situation

You: "Nerd, I don't read that shit"

Are you following your emotions or are you truly trying to understand the changes? You seem to be attacking / strawmanning people left and right in this thread and are generally not interacting in good faith.

Onus probandi.

You make the claims, you serve the proof. You can't point at a vague, general direction and go "here, proof!". Especially not a social media feed, that's the most subjective, volatile "proof" you could provide.

Quote me the text, in its full context, where it says that Mozilla is selling the data they are "now collecting", or that it was optional for them without degrading services. Because I can't find it.

All I see is data that Mozilla is required to collect to provide existing services, they are now putting it in black on white. I don't really care what the "general opinion" is, opinions do not automatically become facts once sufficient people hold them.

I've seen Mozilla do bad stuff, this is just a very standard privacy policy update. Let's criticize them when they actually deserve it, and encourage them the rest of the time.

Also, nice strawman instead of simply answering my question. 🥰

Can you be more specific than pointing in a vague direction?

Article seems to have a hard paywall? Even 12ft.io can't bypass it.

Exactly, reading is almost always more convenient and faster.

You know what you said, we know what your goal is. Let's not confuse the multiple meanings of the word "state" here.

I personally generally much prefer text content, and get disappointed when I click and get a video or audio instead

Fuck you and your unprompted attack on neurodivergent people, and fuck your "oh I ruffled a few feathers" when you directly and objectively insult and generalize an entire group of people.

You sound insufferable, this is is not how you get help nor make friends. Too bad for you, but a large amount of people in tech are neurodivergent, and your post is gonna make sure that all those knowledgeable people now won't want to help you.

Impossible, their username is joyjoy!

Their domain name should really have been madein.ca, because now it says made in caca

Curry ice cream is so fucking good tho!

Absolutely, I'm not stating that the US' water is undrinkable, simply that enough municipalities have poor quality or non-drinkable water that it's easier for companies to market water bottles to people.

Stories like Flint, Mi. go international, and its crisis lasted for a really long time, despite being mostly the exception (see the other commenter's Wikipedia link). And public access water fountains are not a thing in many cities, leading to an even greater perceived scarcity by consumers.

My point above was that enough municipalities have a drinking water quality problem to drive sales of water bottles across the country, the US' drinking water is not bad across the world stage, but probably worse than most western European countries.

The solution should be either a water filter, or a filtered water dispenser from a refillable jug. Not disposable water bottles.

I love the smell of electronics! What I'm referencing is indeed the bitter compound they put on Switch cartridges, it tastes really bad and you taste it for a really long time, a stern warning to would-be choking children.

That's how you state a fact, not an opinion.
