Most people do, they are just comparing themselves with models, celebs or influencers, people that earn a living out of being pretty.

Windows is frustrating for average people, the thing is that they get used to ms bullshit because they think there are no other way.

Dinosaurs will die - NOFX

They put up guard rails to protect the ego of facists from developed countries only.

Maintaining a browser is crazy hard. If Firefox goes to shit, it would require some serious foundation to maintain a good fork.

Next step is selling recaptcha for phones.

Some require kernel level access, which is a big security risk.

As a single person, most of it comes down to what you support, avoid consuming things that rely on cruelty and slavery to be produced, study to be more aware of what is actually happening, and don’t panic, there’s very little a person alone can do.

Joining groups with similar minds can help you make more, but groups can be very hard, people have different views on things, and radicalism can make some good willed people do pretty terrible things.

I hope that shit spark interest in decoupling things, your whole project depending on a single tool is very dangerous, and foss engines should try to agree on some standards to discourage vendor lock-in.

I almost got it, but gave up because of the CEO being the way he is. It’s very likely that they will raise prices or add a lot of bullshit restrictions after initial adoption, and the dish is kind of expensive to buy and cancel once the bullshit starts.

Choosing the gender of the driver won’t give men any more safety, but it will make a lot of difference for women.

Don’t this mess with consumer laws ? People who had paid for this should definitely sue.

In US workers pay for commuting to work ?

Back when IE was on top and Firefox was the best browser, firefox started to put a lot of bad updates, then chrome came, it was faster and firefox started to lose its marketshare, for while firefox only peformed well on linux, by the time quantum came out and it’s performance was good on windows again, Chrome was already the new IE, but Google is way better at managing this leadership it than Microsoft ever was, the only technical problem it has is devouring RAM.

In my opinion, gecko being so tied to the browser is also a problem. There’s a ton of browsers using Blink, that gives google a lot of control over how the web will evolve. Having other browsers using gecko that aren’t Firefox forks would be great.

It’s not only supply and demand, on some countries there’s more empty houses than homeless people, rich people and banks rather leave the houses empty than lower rent or price, governments should step in and tax empty houses.

Marketing, and the fact that phones are now super boring, everything is web based, there’s no more cool apps, everything is just a frontend for some web service, or a damn webview.

The historical feature gap between Androids and iPhones is mostly gone, and since the tech doesn’t matter anymore, marketing can go a long way.

The article is also very us centric, in places where cost matters more, the iPhone is seen as a status symbol, just like every other thing that costs a lot for no reason.

I dont really like android. Symbian and even windows phones performed better on inferior hardware. Their weird lifecycle seems to me wasteful and blurs the line between what’s running or not. It only became stable once hardware got way better. It’s a shame that every other option failed. because the only thing worse than android is an apple controlled environment.

Nobody should trust companies with their privacy, especially when they always get away with lying and their tools are in no way auditable.
