If you forget the second step, well, that’s what sweet potatoes are.

Yeah, that guy’s not joking.

It’s not some kayfabe act. He is sincere in all of that posturing assholery.

Block and move on.

The userbase’s downvote-happy inability to take criticism barely matters.

The other half of what’s wrong with .ml is the blatant censorship all over the goddamn site.

This is dumb. Corporate divestment, sure, of course, fuck their money and their power structures. But open-source developers are not generally gung-ho about the war effort… let alone propping up their local military-industrial complex.

Open-source is politics.

The FOSS story, yes. But the code is out there. Even the stuff they weren’t supposed to share.

Can you name any userbase more ready to pirate the shit out of a third-party fork? Maybe the people still using Media Player Classic.

“Where’s the Popular People’s ZA/UM?”

“He’s over there.”

Ruffle or whatever seems to work fine.

Homestuck still haunts the internet.

A mistranslation from Latin versus the plain meaning that’s also what everyone intends and infers. Wow. What a dilemma.

Yeah, Bleem won that lawsuit. And the next lawsuit. And the next.

And then they ran out of money.

They sent goons to his house.

What he got out of it is, they left.

I’d appreciate any details on how the fuck.

And the author spent a year hassling Mozilla about how killing XUL plugins would make his wildly popular plugin nearly impossible. Did they move one iota to help that? Nope. Did they adopt DTA functionality natively, like they’d absorbed Pocket? Did they fuck. Their mantra for two straight decades has been “just rewrite!” and they cannot imagine why they kept hemorrhaging devs and plugins and users once Chrome slimed its way into everyone’s options.

There’s a dozen Firefox extensions that really matter, at any given time. Mozilla has never appeared to give a particular shit about any of them. Paying special attention based on popularity wouldn’t be ideal, but for fuck’s sake, their passive-aggressive treatment keeps burning out the developers who fuel their ecosystem, and it would take vanishingly little effort to shield their keystone plugins.

If their active neglect had ruined both uBlock and DownThemAll - I’m not sure I’d be using Firefox anymore, and I’ve been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox. Why the fuck would anyone normal even consider it?
