  • I switched to LibreWolf when the privacy policy fiasco happened a while ago. It’s funny how every few weeks Mozilla manages to demonstrate why I won’t switch back.

    The new CEO has also already lost me with this gem:

    He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.

    Even taking the statement at face value, it’s unacceptable for it to just “feel off-mission”. It should be a clear “no, never” instead of some wishy-washy answer.

    But reading between the lines, such a statement is not just an off-the-cuff remark, but at best a threat to their users, and at worst a way to gauge the blowback of such a decision. They must have already taken it seriously enough to come up with the $150 million.

    If I had to put up a number, I’d guess there’s a 25+% chance that Firefox will drop Manifest V2 in the next few years.






  • I hate that rich people spend their money on making the world worse. If I were rich, my first order of business would be creating & manufacturing artificial squirrel robots, then opening a series of cat amusement parks all over the world where they get to chase the squirrel bots through Christmas trees.




  • Silksong - I had hyped myself up way too much, yet it still delivered. Absolute masterpiece.

    Dispatch - I finally understand why people enjoyed Telltale games so much. The writing is great, the characters are interesting, just all around a great experience.

    Lies of P - Overture - I finally finished Lies of P & played Overture a few weeks back, after dropping off the game twice in the last years. Wow, that was great! And honestly more emotional than I’d expected.









  • Sorry, but that’s not an acceptable answer. If you can’t pivot your campaign even though your polling research shows you that individual, divisive topics are causing you to lose, something is broken enough that you definitely shouldn’t have ever been a valid candidate. How can you expect to win against a populist if it takes years to listen to your voters?!

    I knew that Harris will lose the second she stepped on stage, was asked how things will change with her, and she answered that nothing will fundamentally change if she’s elected. All while the other candidate keeps telling people that he understands they are hurting, and that he’ll improve everything. I don’t care who was responsible for that strategy - everyone involved should be banned from having influence on another campaign.
