I don't watch the news, because it's not like you get unbiased facts - it's the entire behavior of the news anchors and the people, and the editing, that creates a form of programming of people's minds.

It's also almost 100% negative. And you can't affect anything.

I guess people watch it because they are scared of not knowing what's going on? I don't need to know what's going on. If I lived in Thailand, I would miss all western news and it wouldn't matter at all. So why not act like I live in Thailand.

Let me know if the news ever help someone feel better about themselves, or how to get better relationships, how to love people more. Because that's what my life is about. And how to have fun. :)

People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.

If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.

I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.

The word consumer is so demeaning... But yes.

Humans are actually the only real producers in the world if you think about it. Everything around you is built by other humans.

We rarely think about that.

It's great how people are gathering and having discussions under heavily censored platforms owned by billionaries, just amazing.

I watched The Day of the Jackal - very good.

It's more like they don't make fun games.

It's a failure of leadership, as usual.

Classy to blame Firefox for bugs in their code :)

If devs write code for Chrome, yeah, maybe then it doesn't work in Firefox guys....

We had exactly this situation in the 90s with internet Explorer.... But new devs need to relearn lessons of course.

The internet archive is becoming one of the most valuable sites on the web, specially to avoid paywalled corpo pages.

I actually don't agree, and the reason is - non tech people. You and me can install plugins but ordinary people don't do that. So the default experience must be good, offering improvements to the experience over Google Chrome.

Otherwise all privacy features could also be plugins. Imagine if that was true. Firefox would have no identity and you would have to install plugins and make it your own.

So some features should be built in. Maybe the ability to get pop-ups about false reviews will actually make users go "wow that is so useful".

It's disgusting. Users browser history is private, just like their search history. Fuck Google.

Companies are often insane. I'm working in one who has this one guy build a super complicated architecture, because he don't know aws. So instead of just using a message queue on aws, he is building Java programs and tons of software and containers to try and send messages in a reliable way. Costs the company huge money, but they don't care, since he is some old timer who has been there for like 10 years and everyone let's him do what he wants.

Google "Only spy the web" is highly inaccurate...they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps...

Anyways... I will calm down now. :)
