This title is misleading. I watched the whole 9min and he was calm and collected in his delivery. Was he frustrated at the leading questions? Yes. Was he melting down? Ya no, not even close.

Infinity for reddit mentioned trying to keep developing and if they can't get API access, they said pivoting to a lemmy client is on the table. They posted this in their sub on reddit.

Exciting since I infinity for reddit is a fdroid only client that rawks!

Beseen internet chatrooms, ICQ, every website was someone's personal project, they just made it for fun. Yahoo messenger pool games and online chess. Php message boards and the communities that formed around those.

The early internet was so slow that everything was text based. Talking to other people was the primary form of interaction and nothing was really monetized. Everything was just there because it was nerd shit and people found homes, and communities, and belonging. It was real world values on a screen, not the influencer driven, 30sec video affiliate links shallow, corporate conglomerate that it is now.

That's why I appreciate the fediverse. It feels like real people just playing with technology and talking to each other.

Important context: White male 20something, big expensive sedan, Early 2000s YMMV.

On the highway in the Deep South United States. Pulled over for speeding. Police wanted to search the car. I refused, they called in a K9.

I was pulled to the side of the road and sat down in the grass while we waited for the dog. Bunch of other officers started rolling up and just hanging out expecting what I can only imagine to be the biggest bust in a while.

The K9 got a hit and they searched the entire car. They found a glass pipe buried in an old cigar box in the back of the car in a book bag. The cops were absolutely and completely confused. “There has to be more, the dog woulda never hit on this if there wasn’t more.” The cops kept searching.

I wasn’t handcuffed or anything, someone was just watching me. A pipe was a misdemeanor where I’m from, but jail time/probation where I was stopped.

After an hour of searching they found nothing else and handed me my pipe and box and told me to throw it in the woods and to leave. Wasn’t worth the paperwork.

Give it time. The community was very small for a very long time. There wasn't a big need or push for detailed mobile functionality.

The ruins of Rome are never as cushy as the empire. But give it time. Pizzas on the way brother.

Linux community doesn’t help the user friendly nature of the OS, that’s true. Steam deck runs Linux so if it works on steam deck it will likely work on Linux mint or Ubuntu.

Lots of terminal help and outdated forum posts make it feel difficult to manage Linux, you’re right it is overwhelming and it’s not going to have full software compatibility, but if you spend lots of time in the browser and rely on web services it works fairly well over all and is generally low maintenance if you stick to the App Store and use graphic user interfaces.

Moved to Maine and literally everyone was white.

The states are Arkansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

The U.S. Constitution states in Article 6 that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

In 1961, the Supreme Court ruled in Torcaso v. Watkins that a person could not be denied the office of notary public for not being a believer because it "unconstitutionally invades his freedom of belief and religion guaranteed by the First Amendment and protected by the Fourteenth Amendment from infringement by the States."

You can disconnect them from the WiFi and block their ability to connect and then use a third party device for any apps you want.

Proper font scaling

Cool ass logo. Very modern and more inline with Firefox’s style. It’s a Much improved design across the board.

Open license it and give it to the project. I’d love to be able to use this in the settings.

political parties aren’t real. Their only purpose is market segmentation.

It doesn’t matter which teams win in sports, billionaires own all the leagues.

“One thing Mozilla does have going for it is a lot of money—more than $1 billion in cash reserves, according to its latest financial statement. The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue.”

God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose

You mean the nonprofit company that is dependent completely on a contract with google to stay solvent? Ya, firefox will definitely never be pressured by google... Bruh

That's a good analogy.

Would be nice to get a nhl ticket on Apple TV like they do for mls. “Fuck dem local networks,make it easy to watch” -the entire nhl fan base probably

Mine had the ability to turn of WiFi in settings. I provided it no real information, didn’t create and account, and didn’t use their app or interface.

It was a Samsung. YMMV with other brands.

Where are you going?
