I'd rather have a specific system of rules governing what I can and cannot say than discover post factum that what I said was illegal based on lawyers' consensus. While realistically such consensus is required in some cases anyway

It seems we are sinking ever deeper into the victimised state of mind where any opinion you express may and will under certain circumstances be used against you, even by people from your closest circle. So the best course of action is usual

I did it exactly on time. I'm not sure what's meant by an "interlocking part" of circles in Q30, though.

This is a source of major confusion. Ultimately, it boils down to how one identifies him- or herself or, alternatively, how one is identified by others. Jews in USSR were officially considered an ethnicity like any other, based on blood. Th

Most of the kids applying were atheists or agnostics. They were Jews by ethnicity, not by religion.

Since there are so many of us who decided to stick with Firefox 56... wouldn't it be nice if Mozilla declared 56 as ESR release, so that when the time comes we were not forced to downgrade to the much slower FF 52? Also, I've seen

For me it's DownThemAll, EdgeWise, GMail Notifier, Session Manager, Status-4-Evar, SuperStop. Not upgrading until at least most of them are ported.

Is it now possible to make the title bar blue when the window is active and grey when it's not? The lack of this feature (that once used to be the norm) is one of the most painful things for me.

Not everyone who opposes gay marriage thinks of gays as lesser than them. Some oppose it for religious reasons, for example. Also, what about views on other exclusionary policies? Wherever you live, I'm sure many people in your country

You are mixing up two different things here. It's true that individuals inevitably have complex, multidimensional views on reality and, therefore, need to concentrate on cooperation based on shared interests. An organization, particula

You raise an interesting objection. Some questions in this regard: 1) What does inclusivity have to do with Mozilla's core business, namely open-source Internet software? 2) Can any organization declare inclusivity as one of its core v

Thanks for linking that. I agree that whether or not stepping down was voluntary is an important question. But the answer is right there in your link. That whole memo is nothing else than a manifesto saying "Brendan had to go". Yo

It's funny how you try to spin this around and claim that it's me who lives in an echo chamber, not the extreme-leftist mass media and SJW 'science'. So it's okay from your point of view that major news outlets, suc

I don't need to be an expert on sexism to make judgments on it. This is one benefit we get from science: it allows one to make accurate judgments without becoming an expert. If one had to be an expert to make any judgment at all, one w

You, sir/madam, seem to enjoy making illogical claims. First you link worthless bragging in attempt to prove that a peer-reviewed scientific study is "deeply flawed". Now you proceed to claim that I "never really wanted

Disproving a scientific study with blog and newspaper links?.. Sorry, but you will have to do better than that.

It seems that the most likely explanation for the pay gap is the gap in dedication and energy spent at work. Until recently, many studies had found a bias against hiring women women in education and tech. But once corrected for lifestyle&#x

There is an umbrella issue that aggregates proposed improvements to WebExtensions [1]. If you look at RESOLVED WONTFIX issues linked in that bug, you will find a lot of them are rejected based on political reasons. For example: [2]. So the

I wonder whether the effort in question was scientific. In particular, did it control for life-style (e.g., single without children, married with children)? Sociological results on sex-related biases have been reversed when properly control

Legacy extension system vs WebExtentions is actually a false dichotomy. Mozilla still can develop a low-level API in front of its new and improved subsystems. Yes, that will require more development and will be harder to maintain. But the b

Thanks for that link, now I can clearly see that from the power-user perspective WebExtensions is a dead-end. If you look at the RESOLVED WONTFIX issues linked in that bug, you will find a lot of them are rejected based on political reasons

Your arguments may convince Mozilla not to port these features to WebExtensions, but what are you trying to tell me? To go fuck myself? What you're missing is there are many niches like these, and many people using many niches. It migh

No, like this: https://vgy.me/VBLBYH.jpg And when the FF window is not focused, the title bar is grey. Like it's supposed to be. It's not part of a plugin, though, I had to patch something manually (I never rememb

I know it's not a good way out, but it's something we could at least in theory work with.

Isn't v55 already multiprocess? How are these extensions working right now?

The devs still have a voice in the sense that they can always quit and fork. Or, in case of Firefox, join the Palemoon team.

If it keeps working in FF 57 and won't break after every minor update, I might upgrade. I was actually thinking that providing some kind of officially unsupported backdoor for determined users like us might be a way out of this situati

Then they should bring back the old UI we came to love. I want my blue title bar on Windows, my menu bar, my status bar, my square tabs, etc, etc. Also, I can't imagine living without EdgeWise, so they would have to incorporate that, a
