What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it’s working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don’t seem to mind.

That’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so…

Medium has a paywall, which tends to keep me away, but Substack pays Nazis to post there. This makes the Substack platform distasteful for those who dislike fascists.

OK, now I’ve read it, and thanks again, OP. It’s the first and so far only honest assessment of the situation I’ve seen anywhere.

“You’ve landed on an exclusive AlterNet+ article. Subscribe now…”

No, and fuck off, AlterNet. Here’s the article for free.

Haven’t read the article yet, but I’m hopeful it’s worth reading because I strongly agree with OP’s summary.

I’m pushing 70 and exhausted when I get home from picketing at a Tesla dealership for a few hours. I don’t want violence, and certainly I’m too old and weak to participate in violence, but my eyes roll when people say we should write to our Congressional reps, or talk about taking back the House in the midterms or such silliness. Sweet Jeebers, are people completely lost in a sci-fi time warp? Politics as usual is finished in America.

This is my #1 long-running frustration with Lemmy, and what you’ve suggested would be the solution. In the software’s innards, personal blocks should be ignored in the communities a user mods.

I don’t want to bother with creating an alt, then switching back and forth several times daily, which means … I can’t block anyone.

It’s not for me, but it sounds cool for those active on both sites.

Sounds a lot like, “Biden & Harris support genocide, so let’s vote for Trump.”

Google is awful, but any other company that could afford to buy and run Chrome would be worse.

It’s Newsweek.

(: Man, the things I learn from smart folks on Lemmy…

Hello, old timer! Pretty sure it was just plain Netscape when I installed it (not yet called Navigator), but I’d never heard of it as Phoenix. It has served me well for 30 years across a dozen computers, but now it might be time to move on.

That does look intriguing, especially if being a Firefox fork means I can bring my familiar add-ons along. Thank you!

Very, very long-time Firefox user here, now open to suggestions for a replacement. Windows, desktop, and it absolutely must have adblocker capabilities.

Is it even worth clicking? The headline is like, ‘Frozen water can be slippery’…

I’ve been using Firefox since it was Netscape, and I’m ‘concerned’ but not going anywhere yet.

I’m glad I already hate Discord and don’t use it.

I read the article but still don’t understand what this means:

You give Mozilla all rights necessary to operate Firefox, including processing data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice, as well as acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet.

When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

I’ve seen corporate mission statements that were clearer.

Harshly said, but correct. A one-day change in spending is piffle. Anyone participating in this is participating in piffle. Make a serious, long-term change in your spending patterns and it might, arguably, add up to something, but this is … I don’t even know what this is, but I’m not doing it.
