Some of the older stuff is indeed that way, but there are more and more features which Firefox can’t support. Web-based custom keyboard configuration tools, tools to flash phone firmware, and one niche MiniDisc tool all are chrome-only things I’ve had to open Chrome to use

There’s not really much actual solid research which demonstrates that calorie-counting is an effective method of weight loss.

Moreover, there’s not really much solid research which demonstrates that weight loss should even be the focus of improving our health. People who are considered “overweight” based on their BMI score (which is another completely arbitrary and unhelpful metric) should not be focusing on weight loss.

The thing that people should be focusing on is simply any type of regular physical activity. It doesn’t particularly matter much what that activity is, it’s far more effective to choose an activity you enjoy.

But if we bully dorks that means people will bully me as well :(

Yeah, but that’s my point, not everything works in Firefox now - even though admittedly it’s relatively niche stuff - and my prediction is that if we continue on our current course Firefox will either have to compromise their commitment to privacy and security or will become more and more unusable.

calories are an arbitrary metric anyways, wood has a ton of calories but you can’t digest it, so they’re a very vague guideline at the very best, and misleading at worst

We’re going to have a serious problem on our hands soon with compatibility. I’m a software dev and I’m already seeing a few issues here and there where Chrome is being treated as the default expected browser and features don’t work on Firefox.

Firefox doesn’t support a fair few Chrome features because of security and privacy reasons, such as WebHID, WebUSB, etc.

Devs, please stop using those features. I know it’s tempting, but they’re basically bribes to encourage you to sell out to Google. Don’t do it.

That is one of the worst-written things I’ve ever read in my entire life. It reminds me of reading Jordan Peterson, like the author thinks they derive authority from how obtusely they can phrase simple concepts.

Maybe some people think this kind of writing is clever or impressive, but it just reeks of insecurity to me.

I don’t think bullying dorks who cosplay as their cyberpunk OC will help. Bully billionaires instead.

It would be if Mac’s held the dominant market position for computers, yes.

Humans are more co-operative than bees and ants. Bees and ants are very co-operative, sure, but they only co-operate within their own colonies. By contrast, humans will co-operate with complete strangers with which they have nothing in common other than their shared humanity. Humans will help other humans who they have never met before, will never meet again, share no common language with, basically any number of differences you can throw in there, humans will still co-operate. When it comes to the scope, scale and sophistication of co-operation, no other animal comes close to humans.

There is also still a competitive instinct in humans, for sure, but the drive to co-operate is almost always stronger than the competitive urge. This is why all of our sports have rules, why we have laws to prevent unfair competition, and why we consider selfishness to be a negative trait.

I don’t really understand your comment, sorry - I can’t tell what you’re disagreeing with, because the part you quoted was just me expressing my initial emotional reaction to reading a comment, which you wouldn’t necessarily have shared.

I don’t think you can really seriously argue my main point, it’s really not uncommon for leftist movements to collapse from in-fighting

Marxism is literally just an ideological framework which is used to interpret, analyse and critique the socioeconomic conditions we live under. Discussion and implementation of socialism necessarily implies the application of marxism. What you wrote is a bit like saying that women’s rights advocacy is good but feminism is bad.

I’m guessing you may have meant marxism-leninism?
