  • I like that Firefox exists and I use it and its forks but I really doubt that the aging gecko engine could be made competitive with chromium anytime soon enough to claw back market share to stop google doing shit like web environment integrity. Mozilla stopped work on Servo and they’re also kinda sus in terms of how they seem to be fine with receiving funding from google.

    They implied you shouldn’t use the project based on the author’s opinions.

    that’s what i said??

    Boycotting the software doesn’t infringe on the author’s rights to have a shitty opinion.

    how am i saying this? i’m saying that the guy is shortsighted for telling people to boycott the software just bc of the dev’s opinions

    i’m not arguing about the arbitary rights of authors, i’m just saying that boycotting isn’t an efficient use of resources

    yeah but does that affect the browser development process significantly?

    there are people with differing views in this world and you need to accept that if you want to actually achieve things

    I’m not saying i agree with him bc I don’t, but I wouldn’t base my opinion on the project on the small grievance i have with one dev’s opinions.



  • you can’t convince companies that are profit driven. They follow whatever is the best decision for profit, which is clearly not letting you delete your account because they would’ve done that earlier if it led to profit. This assumes full efficiency on the side of the company but if they are large enough, that means that they are efficient enough to beat the competition already.
