    I don’t care who will fix it. Yes, I’m entirely egotistical here. I’m a white dude not living in the US. I’ll be one of the last to suffer the consequences. Yes, I totally understand there’ll be consequences. And it’ll suck for everyone, including me. No, I don’t want people to feel sorry for me.

    And yes, I tried to warn people. I tried to stop it. I vote, of course. But guess what? I’m just some random guy. I’m not going to be able to fix the world.

    I’m not going to feel bad about myself because I happen to exist in a world that’s too stupid to understand that they’re actively assisting the people that are trying to fuck them.

    No, I’m not one of them. I’m not part of the problem. I get that I’m not part of the solution either, but that doesn’t mean I’m the problem.

    The people want this. That’s democracy, baby! I’m not going to force anyone to be happy. Go ahead, vote yourself into misery. I’m going to save my own ass for as long as I can.

    Do the same, or don’t, I’m not your mom. I’m enjoying my privileges while I still have them. That’s all I can do.



  • I agree that market share has nothing to do with whether people should care, and I agree that people should care about Firefox and other browser engines like Ladybird.

    But at no point did the author of the article open that can of worms. He simply stated the fact that, in the real world outside of the Fediverse, nobody gives a flying fuck about Firefox. Simple as that. No reason to pull out the pitch forks over it. He stated a fact. Get over it.






  • This might be the dumbest take I’ve heard today.

    Everything your smartphone does your laptop can do, too. Therefore, smartphones are useless!!

    Everything AR can do that your smartphone can do today will be a hundred times more convenient because you don’t have to carry a slab of glass with you all the time. You just have to wear glasses. Like I already do anyway.

    The only reason for smartphones to still exist in a world where AR is compact will be if we can’t figure out a way to efficiently input data without annoying everyone around us. As soon as that problem’s solved, nobody will be using smartphones anymore.

    You can control a million things about life. You can change almost anything. It doesn’t mean you can do anything, let’s be real, but every second of your life you have a choice.

    You can get up tomorrow and be a completely different person. Hate your job? Get rid of it. Hate your friends? Get rid of them. Go to a coffee shop and talk to new people. There is literally nothing stopping you from taking control over your life.

    Yes, there’s limits. You won’t be a millionaire tomorrow. But that doesn’t mean you’re just sitting in the car being driven somewhere. Just get out the fucking car.
