This is not just unreasonable, it’s delusional

“unreasonable” is a choice of words… russia invaded a sovereign state; that was their choice… i’d say it’s very reasonable for russia to fuck right off and fix the damages, which is to say nothing of the lives ukraine lost because of that choice - anything less is unreasonable

whether that’s realistic or not is another question, but fair and reasonable are not realistic because the world is not fair, especially when it comes to the bullshit bullying that happens with all major military powers

i went to the mozilla donation page and sent a contact request about wanting to financially support firefox but not giving a damn about the rest of the AI and adtech slop that mozilla is doing

here’s the response, for anyone that’s interested

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We genuinely value hearing from our supporters, as your insights help us understand what matters most to the Mozilla community.

It’s important to note that the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation are two separate entities within the Mozilla umbrella - Mozilla Corporation is responsible for developing and maintaining Firefox and other software products, and they are continuously working on improving the user experience, including addressing compatibility issues and promoting the browser to a wider audience.

The Mozilla Foundation, on the other hand, focuses on broader internet health and advocacy work. Our mission is to ensure the internet remains open and accessible for everyone, and this includes issues related to privacy, digital rights, and equity. To confirm, the survey that you had received was from the Mozilla Foundation.

With that being said, Firefox is funded by revenue generated through the product rather than donations. At the moment, there is no way for supporters to make a donation that will be designated to the development of Firefox. Have no fear, things are looking good for Firefox’s future and they plan to be around a long time, supporting folks with the most secure browser experience! Continuing to use Firefox, and recommending it to others, is the best way to support this project.

We truly appreciate your concerns about Firefox and their top priorities - We on the Mozilla Foundation strongly believe that issues such as privacy, online safety, and data security are connected to the products and services we all use every day. The work we do in these areas complements Mozilla Corporation’s focus on building better, more secure software like Firefox, and w encourage you to participate in our survey!

If you would like to input some of your thoughts and ideas into our Ideas discussion forum regarding Firefox and other Mozilla products, please visit: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas

We thank you again for reaching out to our Mozilla Foundation Donor Care team, and please let us know if we can support your further!

certainly not saying you’re wrong, but the base load problem is still a problem afaik… storage solves some of it, but i think storage isn’t a full solution - we’d still need some other 24/7 generation capacity

that… is unlikely… they took 7 years to migrate TO AWS, and the last i heard they completed a massive migration to IPv6 on AWS in 2021… it’d take them a massive amount of engineering and time to migrate off AWS

also it’d be massive news… netflix is basically THE number 1 AWS “success” story

oooh i have that exact espresso machine (except they’ve mirrored it)! it’s a rancilio silivia… i use fedora and debian with a pinch of al2

blockchain as a core technology isn’t user-friendly… it should be hidden, and you’ll never know when it’s doing interesting things. it was never going to revolutionise the world, but that doesn’t invalidate its usefulness in niche situations

… it shouldn’t be used for 95% of the garbage people have built with it - and for NFTs that’s more like 99%

the way people use NFTs with art are certainly absurd, but even the core technology of NFTs is actually excellent

a gift, or a test?

that’s not at all the intention of the comment - simply that when i make a comment directly related to my personal sex life, you’re aware that there are no women involved, thus the comment eliminates misogyny from the equation in that specific case. i’m sorry for not being clearer on that. i’ve added an edit to my comment so that it’s more apparent

believe what you want, but as a gay man (i say this so you’re aware that there’s no misogyny involved edit: and by which i mean my personal sex life does not involve women so gender does not come into play in this specific situation), i’d never date someone where sex was off the table… i wouldn’t force it on anyone of course, but we fuck or we break up - sex is too important for my mental health to deny myself

the comment isn’t saying women can’t make their own decisions… the comment is saying that the guy wants to have sex, and if he can’t then they’re incompatible partners right now… women are allowed to make choices about their bodies, and men are allowed to make choices about activities they’d like to have in their lives

the reply comment implies that he only thinks about using a woman for sex, which is not what he’s saying at all

another example would be if 1 person wanted to live in the city and the other wanted to live in a farm: likely a deal-breaker, just like not having sex

it’s called accelerationism

and even the biden win was just stupidly close given trump literally drove your whole country head first into the top “fucked up the pandemic” spot

and you’re never going to be able to stop that, so you need to give the left who stayed home (as fucking stupid as that was) someone to be excited about

this is very very wrong. the sound quality was a dumpster fire

that’s… not a great argument though… plenty of people didn’t think their phones were missing anything and then the iphone came along

Adding my +1 for I ate the onion

irrelevant - everyone knows and agrees. that doesn’t change that this election you have exactly 1 choice

politics is shit. until you have other options, you have to live in the world you live in and not a fantasy

that doesn’t mean that you haven’t internalised what a typical british tabloid looks like - they have a very specific style, and it’s replicated in pop culture and news quite a bit

it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive
