The cognitive dissonance of people eschewing Mozilla cos of AI and big salaries and a problematic CEO And suggesting people move to Brave The crypto browser that also does AI The browser who is available through Epic Games Store Taking some share of ad revenue for itself instead of giving it to who it’s supposed to Suggesting affiliate links in the address bar The browser that’s installing pay to use software on Windows machines without asking for consent Helmed by Brendan Eich You know, the JavaScript creator Oh but he’s also the guy ousted as Mozilla’s CEO for donating to anti lgtbq propositions the same guy who seems to hold Covid conspiracy theories in his head Please use a fucking search engine some time 🤡

If you are unhappy with using Firefox OR Chrome, there is a perfectly also-problematic-as-hell browser owned by a homophobe, crypto-twat, and Covid denier right there waiting. You're welcome.

As someone coming off a decade of working there, I can tell you with some confidence that “you should use Firefox despite Mozilla’s leadership” is far more true and has been true far longer than you realize. But you should also understand that original market-share vs ceo salary meme is a creation of Brendan Eich, presumably born of a grudge, and notably elided his tenure as CTO, during which the worst of that decline happened. You should still use Firefox though.

Can’t believe they’re going to roll 2024 out to Production late on a Sunday, right before a public holiday, without testing it in Staging, and without fixing any of the bugs in 2023.

It's really inspiring to hear about massive tech companies that started as two guys in a garage. Just think: all you'd need is a time machine and a bug bomb

welcome to the week after Christmas, the date is sometime between Tuesday and August, a handful of cheese at 4pm counts as a meal, Irish Cream can be consumed between 6am and January and putting on your high school band shirt from your parents’ closet counts as “getting dressed”

@april@macaw.social "If you don't pay for the product, you are the product" is such a quaint thought in 2023; they're going to make you product even if you pay. Capitalism doesn't leave money on the table.

If a cisgender person gets upsetti spaghetti because you used the Latin prefix cis- to describe them, I think the best thing to do is comply with their request and use the Greek synonyms homo- (same) and hetero- (different) instead. Problemo solved, my homogender buddy.

Bring back self-hosted blogs, reinstall a feed reader, make your feed icon prominent on your blog. Blogs + Atom/RSS is the best decentralized social media system we've ever had! And yes I am saying that as co-author of ActivityPub: self hosted blogs is the best decentralized social networking we've had

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared. So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world. 10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet. She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!" #microfiction

When straight men say that they are feeling uncomfortable in the presence of gay men (because they assume the gays will be ogling them or chatting them up, even if the gays don't do anything remotely like that), the only thing I can think is this: The straight guys are basically assuming that gays will behave in exactly the same creepy and unacceptable ways in which they themselves tend to behave towards women (or people they think are women). But in my experience, the gays usually do not. So, sorry, straight guys, you still have the monopoly on creepiness 😜

Trans. People. Don't. Owe. You. Anything. They don't owe you tiptoeing around your "concerns" about women in restrooms or girls in sports or women's prisons or trans kids who might detransition or someone "having it too easy". They don't owe you dressing or performing their gender in any particular way. Not masculinity nor femininity nor androgyny. They don't owe you "passing" or information about their bodies or surgeries or stories about what signs there were when they were young. They don't owe you being courteous and graciously accepting your apologies when you hurt them by misgendering them or deadnaming them. They don't owe you gratitude for "being so understanding". Trans. People. Don't. Owe. You. Jack. Shit.

Don't make fun of kids who still believe in Father Christmas, there are adults out there who think trickle-down economics is real...

*"no one ever got fired for choosing React"* is, AFAICT, not true today, and never has been. I've witnessed entire teams get flushed and VPs get unceremoniously booted on the other side of grand React redesigns tanking revenue and conversions. None of those folks talk publicly about how it went down because doing so would simultaneously devalue the thing they've invested in and hurt their own employability within that world. And so we bumble on, omerta in tact.

Hi. Can I have a word? When you use a #Hashtag could you capitalise each word please? That way, people using screen readers will hear each individual word, which means they'll get more useful context as a result. When you don't capitalise hashtags the words string together and make no sense. For example #ThisIsHow would read as "This Is How" while #thisishow would sound something like "thissy show". A small change for you but a game changer for many people. Be nice; get good karma. Thanks.

If you want to become rich and powerful you’re part of the problem. The problem isn’t that some other people are rich and powerful and you’re not. The problem is we have a system where some people are rich and powerful while others are denied even basic human dignity.

Legally Binding would make a great title for a movie about a transmasc lawyer.

I always struggle when groups fundraise with urgency. Like Wikipedia, we need your money now!!!! And all I can think is, Jimmy I recognise you’re a not for profit but you do this every year, with the same messages about how you simply cannot continue your work if you don’t get money. And I get distracted because all I think of is the dril budgeting tweet. If I could see the numbers in the same line as your urgency message, I’d understand more and are thus more likely to donate. “We have X money left which our accountants say we will no longer be able to pay our stuff after the following date” Shouting “urgent!” Every time I open the page for the last two decades, with no numbers in the sentence, stops being urgent and is just something I gloss over against my better judgement

Remember when we talked about "herd immunity"?

People who say they don’t like nazis, but turn around and take money from nazis, and give money to nazis, do in fact like nazis. #Substack

TLDR; “Yes, if you let Nazis get on stage, there will be less Nazis. We’ll simply out talk them. That definitely works every time! Anyway, here’s a pile of money someone unspecified gave me.” Fuck Substack and fuck every “moderate” bagging for “civil discourse” with genocidal maniacs. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24011232/substack-nazi-moderation-demonetization-hamish-mckenzie
