  • You said we should give our money to the privacy respecting waterfox and librewolf. This is laudable but waterfox is a build of old firefox and librewolf is a build of new firefox. Much like doordash is only a way to get burgers from a grill to your door they are not themselves an alternative to $burger-joint librewolf is only a way to get what ls basically Firefox to your machine without the extra crap you don’t want.

    Even if you support librewolf you won’t have a viable alternative browser because they are functionally incapable of making one and there is no reason to believe making one is even their mission. You aren’t actually replacing firefox just consuming it in a downstream configuration. Furthermore if they die librewolf and waterfox will absolutely cease to be useful because again they are incapable of delivering a browser the same way supporting door dash alone will leave you without anyone to cook your food.

    $burger-joint should have thought about that before making Door Dash the only usable ordering method, cramming AI into their lobby.

    This is basically bullcrap. There is at this point nothing you even need disable. At such time as it exits it will be probably consist of what a setting in config and a toolbar button to remove so hard. Whine harder.






  • You are commenting on an article which is discussing only whether or not AOC could win the presidency years away based entirely on said poll. Are you stupid or did you forget?

    It isn’t that hard to suppose that a substantial minority wont vote for a woman, a person of color, or someone they associate with Muslims (she is actually Catholic).

    We learned that its fatal to put up someone who inspires people to stay home but it is likely worrisome to tick too many boxes as far as implicit bias. Look what they tried to do to Barrack “Husein” Obama. We are if anything else more divided, more ready to believe lies, more susceptible to bias compared to 2008.

    Furthermore Vance is a particularly uninspiring person. He is gross and indeed right up there with Cruz in likeability.

    It is absolutely notable that a competent person with a history of actual competence and decency is barely tied with Vance.



  • What is being communicated is that being a nazi is so inherently abhorrant that its unsafe to express support for nazism in decent places. A nazi may exist in such places but they do so quietly because they risk at minimum getting tossed out.

    Places where its ok to be a nazi loudly end up attracting more because such places are rare and thus attract a disproportionate number of such folks.

    These folks make decent folks not want to come. Now you have a Nazi bar.

    From a broader social standpoint, people adjudge ideas I’m part based on how acceptable they seem to be by their peers.

    Seeing nornal communication alongside nazism reenforces the perceived normalcy of these abhorrent ideas.
