Surprise! Advertising is evil as an industry and violates the few good pieces of law we have to benefit everyone, not just those in power!

I sincerely hope you are wrong, even if I understand your point. On the other hand, the case would still be just as open-and-shut. Violating both the law and EEOC regulation doesn't matter if you're doing it for one side or the

No, because the point is that "most readers" are male. The advertisement should be unisex. If a woman picks up that journal - whether just looking for want ads or because they are legitimately interested in the topic - they shoul

It has nothing to do with virtue, it's a matter of Facebook and its advertisers violating the written law. EEOC exists due to law, and all employers are required to abide by it. If you violate equal opportunity employment by discrimin

I don't mind a wait if it means competent service on the most essential part of our society. I've called them for both business and personal issues with taxes and while it was by no means 'fun', they were both willing a

As a user of some of those "legacy" addons, I sincerely don't care about the upstream friction. I care that Mozilla has tried to cut my user experience off at the ankles more than once. The burden of having a thriving commun

I disagree. Cutting away from, and taking an adversarial stance toward, Google is probably the only thing that would keep Firefox relevant in the future. If Mozilla Corp didn't exist as-is, I believe that Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbi

That's a recent part of it. Pocket integration, removal of about:config entries, moving to WebExtensions so that the user has less control over their browser both in terms of appearance and function, changing the appearance in a way th

Mozilla was also committed to a good browser experience that looked and felt like something that was not Chrome or Safari. Then Australis happened. And Mozilla was committed to XUL. Then WebExtensions happened. Mozilla is committed to G

Do more to show it then. Firefox has consistently been clamping down on user freedom and aping Chrome as closely as possible, instead of actually focusing on doing the right thing. Google is not the health of the web. Helping Google is co

For me, I want to download and install everything. I want every small thing I do to be its own program, with its own name. I want to be able to remove my network card and still have programs which work. I want to own everything about my o

Part of the problem with research as it stands is that the software tools have become bloated, and are doing too much at once by having to be "commercial" and profit-motivated. If the tools were being made to do one thing well wi

Illegal? No. Immoral? Also no. Will they try to stop you? Probably. If you can figure out how to beat their Captcha, you're golden.

I will admit that I don't have a "desktop" as such, I have a laptop. Whenever I'm not worried about privacy (i.e. in the privacy of my own room with the AC, air filter, etc running, I run the built-in system speakers at

I haven't found it to be untenable. Then again, it seems that you're worried about maintaining the bleeding edge, and I'm, well, the exact opposite of that. My mantra in terms of technology has been "If it ain't b

Other operating systems certainly could. Work from the minimum set of tools you need to create the OS, and allow users to either build those tools they need or have them ready to build quickly. Keep the resolution small and the color dept

I'm also a user and not a programmer. There are things I use a browser for, and things I use proper programs for. There is some overlap, in the space of email, video watching (I'm entirely too lazy to stream every video I watch

Stop trying to do things in your browser that should be their own independent programs.

No, it's not understandable at all. It might be understandable to have an option to display descriptions or not, but not remove altogether. Frankly, Firefox was, for a long time, the only major privacy-respecting browser. Heck, Tor Bro

With each new Firefox release, it gets farther and farther away from what the browser once was. I started using Firefox over a decade ago, now it's become just a different version of awful. I don't know exactly happened when Moz

I don't know if I could use this as an everyday OS, but I can see so much good coming from it. Stop thinking about the newest, latest, and greatest. Stop taking control away from the user. These things, and more, we should learn from

It's a great Hail Mary play and I appreciate how well it works. I remember an LPer or reviewer (much the same honestly) was able to use L Mag-RF and Triple Triad to get Raise at that point, and that worked out pretty much the same. I

For clarification to slightly younger readers who may not immediately think of it, unless this same boss style is repeated (which I don't believe is the case), you're talking about North America's original FF2 / Japan an
