is this sub just people unironically taking obvious jokes seriously?

how much do you think chasing the web “standards” set by one of the largest companies on the planet without falling behind costs? ever wonder why nobody else has been able to keep up with chrome? also, do you think it’s not important to ensure web standards are open and having the lawyers and lobbyists to prevent web standards to go to shit? do you think the only important thing is the actual application? firefox doesn’t in a vacuum. if mozilla was just a bunch of computer nerds coding very hard to make a browser, it would’ve gone bankrupt and firefox would’ve died ages ago

i’m not even saying mozilla isn’t doing anything stupid, it’s just that it frustrates me how computer nerds always think the coding is the only thing that matters in a software project

you’re right, that’s why nobody worked until capitalism came along

still, 6 mil is ~10% of their revenue. it’s egregious, but cutting the ceo’s sallary to zero dollars even would solve nothing

The money sources are not the issue

lolwhat

did you miss the part where mozilla depends on mostly google money to survive? which they’ve been trying to correct for years but failed? and now they’re om the verge of losing most of it?

insults can teach shame when necessary. they can also communicate when you’re sharing an opinion that might make people upset and make you mindful of it next time you decide to share your thoughts. in any case, there’s a very relevant difference between a response that communicates “i disagree and here’s why” and a response that communicates “wtf bro”, and that’s not simply self-indulgence

edit: in the case of this thread specifically, the insult is well earned because the post is typical of a gringo gringoing and not being able to accept all the comfort and benefits they’re granted for being gringo. it’s like shaking the poster back to reality and making it clear his line of reasoning is not just incorrect, but also ridiculous

cool story, but is there any data that corroborates that? i’m genuinely asking

i think that’s the crux of the issue when it comes to making core-dwellers understand that they do benefit from imperialism: they think it’s a moral judgement on their character rather than a factual observation

sometimes an insult is well-earned. suck it up and don’t take it too personally

good god, could gringos read one fucking article about dependency theory, please?

it is really concerning to see most commenters taking the claim that autistic people are more likely to commit crime at face value, not only doing so without any data to back it up, but also unaware (or willfully ignorant) that the data says otherwise: autistic people are more likely to be victims of violent crime than allistic people. this is a dangerous narrative fueled by preexisting hatred of neurodivergent people that only serves to further marginalize us.

this kind of narrative is unfortunately the expected anywhere else, but seeing it play out in a forum specifically about autism is particularly upsetting. if you’re neurotypical and you’re spreading this here, kindly go fuck yourself (also go look for actual data, not biased anecdotes by sensationalist media); if you’re autistic, though, please please please do not believe this shit, you are the vulnerable side of autism, not the people around you.

tl;dr

as for the title: yes

[settler colonialism] slows down the centralization of capitalism and allows for the creation of a large petite landowning population

tf lmao

colonialism as whole is a necessary precondition to modern capitalism and imperialism. it is, in absolutely no way, a setback to capitalism and is in fact the only reason global capitalism and western dominance was possible at all

is this what yankee communists actually believe?

I do believe that some traits of Autism could lead to a higher chance to commit some crimes

i’m not sure about that, though. iirc neurodivergent people (including autists) are more likely to be victims of violent crime than neurotypicals

title makes it look like firefox is just removing yet another security feature as part of its enshittification process, but reading the article it looks like it makes sense

• not a lot of websites respect dnt
• it might serve as an identifier, i think

lmao

thank you

this is the second luigi meme in a row. what did i miss?

damn that sucks

hope you manage to get another job soon and that you get the emotional support you need to go through unemployment

tf how did this get into my home

careful! unless i’m absolutely confident i can trust my employer, i wouldn’t trust completely opening up to them. maybe i’d talk to coworkers i trust before i make a decision to open up, and even then, i would just deliver enough information to make them feel some sympathy and maybe take it easier with me
