If you're already running an unverified third-party installer, your system is gone. There's nothing Firefox addon signing can do to save you at that moment. You are already at the "running arbitrary code" stage.

It is a fact that twitter is less censored that it were before Musk. It's not 100% censorship free, but less censored. The fact that you think some of the things that aren't censored anymore should be, because you disagree with t

Nobody pays ang income tax on loans, it's not unique to Musk. And loans need to be returned, usually.

Does anybody remember mega bailouts of 2008 still? There are so many companies that arguably won't exist without those. And that's only one example, there are massive subsidies, tax breaks, preferences, etc in a ton of industries

Normies don't know what the "addon" is and likely would have IT to install them anyway.

What's strange in it? I've been using macs and android phones for over a decade. And a lot of tech savvy people do the same. Macbooks have been a solid dev platform for a while, and do not really require any mobile platform prefer

No Linux or Android, which makes it useless for anybody having any devices running those. And since nobody wants to use two password managers, it remains a better solution to use a truly multi-platform one.

I think we're at the point where we need to ask, how the fsck supposedly "open browser" prohibits their own users from installing extensions they want to install? I mean, I get signing - if you want signing, you can use it. I

I am wondering about the Autodesk example. If they suck so much and the users hate them so much, why no competition have arisen? Are there some government induced barriers? We saw Microsoft has been an unassailable incumbent on browser mark

Does Mozilla have any assets or workers located in Russia? If yes, this could be the reason, as the censors won't hesitate to go after them, and the law in Russia is whatever Kremlin says it is. If there aren't then it's just

That's why you always have people to either copy-paste error messages or send screenshots. Because people are terrible at reading and even worse at reproducing what they read.

There were - and are - a lot of companies vying for those sweet subsidies. And most of them can't make it work even with subsidies. Maybe Toyota with their prius is getting anywhere, the rest are mostly a footnote. And yet, Musk comes

You are implying that the company that seeks less regulation necessarily does it because it's of lesser quality and this is the reason they can not abide by stricter regulations. I don't think this assumption is true.

Most buyers would require mortgage or another kind of loan. For a loan holder, the question is monthly payment, not price. Higher interest means higher payments, thus negating the decrease in prices. Of course, for cash buyers high interest

The problem is they have zero incentive to make for-fee service to be any better than the free service. What are you gonna do, turn to somebody else for the same service?

It doesn't. Even with insurance, etc. I doubt they spend this much. They pay below market for most positions I've seen (though their benefits are on a good level) so even with taxes, overheads and all I don't see where 500k w

This just shows how broken and insanely anti-consumer Big Tech is. You have to pay 200 bucks for somebody to look on the down low into your account being randomly disabled... and everybody pretty much accepts it as normal. Very dystopian.

That happens anyway - nobody's payroll dataabse is running on leetcode puzzles, so if you hire somebody, they must spend time - sometimes months - on learning the new systems and getting the lay of the land and how the things are done.

It's not the skills problem. Looking for a job, I know that my skillset would match the employer - in fact, thousands of employers likely - because I have successfully done such jobs in the past. But I have no way to prove it to a pote

It's not a head poll, it's who has influence. One NYT columnist has more influence on the politics of the society than 1000 people in rural Appalachia. Influence is not distributed equally, it's very heavily skewed.

So, you extend the definition of a religion to "everything a lot of people support" and then declare that it needs to be "brought down". How does it work for you - you plan to ban people from agreeing on anything, and th
