“It doesn’t affect me, so if it affects you, fuck you, I don’t give a fuck.”

A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

I’ve seen some inclusive tech docs in which they (ha!) use “she” instead of “he” or “they.” I thought that was cool.

Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

People don’t need to build model trains either.

The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

Average Linux user > average windows user.

Plus Linux doesn’t track you (depending on distro, I suppose.)

But I kid. People should use whatever the fuck they want.

You’re missing the point, but that’s fine. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll stop things here. Let’s talk about something else.

How’s your day going?

The language is not clear.

" As a vegetarian, which of these three options you want the least and which you want the most? You MUST choose to continue:

1. Chicken sandwich.
2. A kick in the balls.
3. Pork sandwich.

"

You are saying that a reasonable person (vegetarian in this case, and disclaimer: I am not vegetarian) would say “well, I want a kick in the balls the least, so I’ll choose that. Now, fuck, I HATE chicken sandwiches and I HATE pork sandwiches. They both make me puke. But if I have to choose, I guess I’ll go for the chicken sandwich. Hey pollster, I want the chicken sandwich the most.” And the pollster writes “Chester wants the chicken sandwich the most.” Yeah, very clear.

It’s the “most wanted” language. I don’t blame common folks associating “most wanted” with “I want this!” when in fact they don’t mean it.

I don’t know, man. Look at where big projects are at right now. Blender, Gimp, Linux, Inkscape, KDNLive…

It can happen.

But anyway. The day I can’t use a secure, open-source web browser is the day I’ll stop web browsing. Just like when I decided to never buy commercial music, go to the movies or buy a Smart TV.

It was not an argument. Just an observation. And your opinion doesn’t make it less relevant.

As the matter of fact, both can co-exist.

Reddit fucked up Lemmy, and now that they’re here, welp, it’s bullshit.

Eh. Like I said… financial shit I don’t care about.

Spectre wasn’t even Firefox’s fault. It was a CPU vulnerability.

In the end, if an open source browser cannot step up, some other will and take its place. I’m okay with that.

I like operating systems as boring as possible. Let it manage the underlying system while I focus on work. I think you just convinced me to try Arch now.

Thanks for the insight.

Ugh man, that’s true. Would you say that sdf.org offers a better experience content-wise?

I can understand you, friend. We both want the same thing. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to help in that respect, so I’ll help in the ways I can - spreading the word and contributing to code if necessary.

Elaborate.

Got it.

Kinda weird that you focus on the financial side on this site of all places. I thought Lemmy didn’t care too much about that.

But regardless. I don’t care about the financial side. There are several competing open source browsers and any of them can take the helm.

I think you’re assuming too much.

If Firefox disappears overnight, do you think the devs working for it are just going to sit down and twiddle their thumbs? They’ll pick another project and carry on.

There are several examples of this happening. MySQL vs MariaDB, OpenSSL, PDF viewers, hell, even Linux can be included here too.

Ah man, shucks.
