  • Agreed. A real PITA to organize, some unintuitive and hidden options, but very basic. I've used sync and organized on desktop. (But now I do NOT sync desktop bookmarks at all, it has messed them up too many times.)

    Not a huge problem, but annoying. Like some newer non-removable toolbar buttons on desktop. Lack of JXL support. I'm a huge Firefox and Mozilla fan, used non-stop for years, but it has annoyances. The team also used to quickly cater to user feedback, but that seems to have slowed.

  • Trigger warning, please. Many of us survived the internet's tragic Compression Artifact Wars. I know that some pockets of less fortunate areas still fight on, but we should not help spread their ignorance or nostalgic afflictions. Let us destroy this scourge once and for all. Modern and lossless formats for all!

    ^(This message is sponsored by JPEG XL. If you would like to help, contact Mozilla and urge them to fully support the format. Thanks to Apple for their support. Google is evil.)

  • "You can't fire me, I quit!"
    "Sir, this is a Wendy's San Francisco. Please just leave." "You'll be hearing from my lawyers!"

  • Russia deserves to be booted from the internet at this point. A glorified gas station, home to massive numbers of bots and agitators, allowed to undermine democracies worldwide. Cut the cables. (Install a quick-disconnect? It's like a series of pipes, right? /s)

    Then we need to deal with poorly moderated sites (like Elon's) that encourage dis/misinfo and hate to spread, under the guise of "freeze peach".

  • That's a surprisingly in-depth analysis, appreciated. Donnie's brain has been rotting for almost seven additional years now, and the loud noises coming out of his face hole have only become less impressive. It's safe to say he never made it out of middle school.

  • They're all easy to avoid giving money to. That said, all of those things would be much improved, virtually overnight, if he were to just... spontaneously combust. (Or, even less probable, seek psychological help.)

    It's amazing how much damage a few men (Putin, Trump, Musk...) are allowed to do. History indicates this has always been the case, but at least we didn't have a live feed of their every deranged thought or desperate cry for attention.

  • Donnie's insults are noticeably lacking lately. And insults are 97.3% of what he uses his brain cell for. Maybe he's depressed, because he knows he's going to be the biggest fucking loser (again).

  • Yup. It's not worth any time trying to figure out their "rules", because there are none, and they don't need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It's just business.

  • Oh no. What kind of outrageous scandal forced you to "resign and spend more time with family"? Wait, it's just cats, it actually sounds nice.

  • "Conservatives" have a very important choice to make this November. They could've ended this insanity a while ago, but keep choosing their old team instead (who barely bother anymore with traditionally conservative legislation).

    The T**** cult looks more like the Taliban (religious fundamentalists, extremists... terrorists) with every new revelation we non-weirdos learn (from the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer Vance, Project 2025, etc). I would not doubt a bunch of them have now actually embraced The Handmaid's Tale. They are more dangerous than ever, and are one election away from achieving their goals, against the will of the majority of the country. It will be devastating.

  • This is a very good point. If she ever ends up on Fox (hope not), it would be negligent not to use this attack. T**** lost, and he still can't admit this basic, important fact. A fact his lawyers, all around the country, could not escape, in even the most friendly jurisdiction. Some of them are now disbarred because of this. Fox News paid an incredible sum (and lost Cucker) because of this.

  • NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. "Updated" headline (not joking):

    Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

  • I hate everyone

    Yup. I think I'll generally agree with this sentiment, every day until the end of my existence. Humanity is very disappointing. Observing news, elections and social media has poisoned my soul. ^ftge

  • There are so many factors. I think raw polling numbers and single polls are problematic , and definitely need to be deciphered, unbiased, combined and aggregated by reputable pros (like Nate Silver and others). Then they actually gain value and accuracy.

  • There's some value versus knowing nothing. But until October early voting actually begins, not worth obsessing over. To be fair, their forecast was still one of the better ones for that infamous election, dropping around 60-40 Clinton during election day (NYT was still 90-10). And I'm sure many things were learned from it, maybe even over-corrected, based on '20-22. I'll be following Nate's Silver Bulletin this year (he left 538 and took his algorithms).

  • Maybe the EU should just fight the (typically Russian) passive aggression with some of their own. "Delay" this asshole's funding, while denying it. Ignore their requests, give them the runaround. Be a complete pain in the ass at every opportunity. Let Hungary pick themselves up by the bootstraps. Maybe they should vote for a better leader next time.

  • It's almost the least someone at the campaign could do. I'll donate eventually (they seem to be doing fine for now!), but it would be great to see them show some love for the superior principled social media outcasts of the fediverse and Mastodon.

  • Sounds a lot like Obama. High quality human, unwilling to get too dirty battling human sewage, bad faith tactics, delays, obstructions, etc. Gave up a supreme court nominee due to... "norms". To be fair, nobody imagined a clown/wannabe-dictator and his three (!?) SCOTUS picks to quickly reshape the presidency into a monarchy with infinite powers.

  • POTUS says no, and the Texas attorney general should respectfully go fuck himself. Thousands of miles and billions of dollars of easily surmounted walls is not a real plan for border security.
