the truth must be told: Firefox is not as optimized as Chrome

what are you talking about? my desktop pc is amd fx4300. definition of old and subpar - https://i.imgur.com/WBm5Ub1.png - and i have 313 open tabs right now.

granted, that is slightly more affected by memory, before i updated from 8 to 32 gb recently, it was admittedly slightly more sluggish.

but at the same time normal people don’t really have 300 open tabs at once and also you have to ask what is the threshold where you are willing to sacrifice your privacy for slight speed increase.

do you have some numbers to support that speed difference, or is it just your feeling, or anecdote that is being passed around and everyone repeats it and everyone believes it, because everyone says so?

what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

what?

unfortunately czechs dropped from 3 to just 1 seat 😒

so, all hopes on her. but definitely no pressure 😂

(…) are among thousands of other employee-reported privacy incidents, according to a copy of an internal Google database which tracks six years worth of potential privacy and security issues obtained by 404 Media.

So is leak of that database going to be next record in it? :D

Except this “routine” is word for word clone. It is more like people retelling the same political joke with only difference being the politician’s name… No one calls it new joke, or “homage”. We call it “yes, this joke was given to Moses on stone tablet” 😊

Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/

we are talking about cheap home dsl routers here. i think that extent of the damage here is that someone has to revert to offline porn.

which would be bad for the world if people in the competing nations didn’t have internet access

these people would find out that there is such thing as fm radio. and that lot of their phones is capable of receiving it.

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.

The Atlantic | Neal Stephenson’s Most Stunning Prediction

The sci-fi legend coined the term metaverse. But he was most prescient about our AI age. By Matteo Wong

If you are a troll, well done. If you are really that dellusional, please get help.

Didn’t happen.

do some red circles and arrows help?

Also didn’t happen.

Why are you asking me?

because you are the one who started it. people usually contribute information into public discussion with hope it will be useful to other readers.

I’m not the one accusing others of “nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn”.

no, you are the one AsKIng rHETOrIcal qUEsTioN 🤣

No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.

you were pointed to the fact that your questions were already answered and you can easily read these answers. that is as on topic as it can get.

you chose weird hill to die on.

Your “rhetorical question” and objections you raised were already answered in this thread before you raised them.

You might have found out if you bothered to read the discussion before sharing your opinion.

So the guy died and decomposed in 10 minutes and somehow it mysql’s fault?

That is increasingly not true, which is why there is so many different platforms - every rights owner rather starts their own platform, than licensing to someone else and sharing the profit.

that theory doesn’t really work here, because you don’t have what they have.

if someone makes bread, you can also start making bread and people don’t care, it is still a bread.

if someone has and sells game of thrones, you can’t just make your own game of thrones with blackjack and hookers. you can make something similar, but it is not going to be the same and some people will still want to see game of thrones, which is why the market is so fragmented.

it is not about plagiarism as in “stealing someone’s ip” but about the fact that being a repost is in itself a proof that is not not really that hot take.
