dillo gang?
After skimming a few toots by this guy on mastodon, I think he is a code/FOSS minimalist and dislikes the current javascript-ified heavy web and Firefox by proxy and is willing to accept chud talking points uncritically because they support his argument, not because he himself is a chud.
Also, he’s a pretty good shitposter: https://cmpwn.com/@sir/105076234374526664
LOL he literally posted “kill all landlords” alright he’s OK in my book https://cmpwn.com/@sir/105044916635633449

This fucking shit will be harder to extricate than capitalism
I think the focus on webapps has to be because of 1. the profit motive, and 2. the effects of closed source development.
If libraries, dependencies, and everything was open source and software devs were working on things either in their spare time or owned their own production, I think we’d be trending back towards simple and elegant desktop programs or mobile apps.
Under capitalism? No way, just wrap it in electron and ship it.
Hello mao person, I understand why you’re upset here, but could you please not resort to direct insults. I understand being vocal against chuds and wreckers, but this doesn’t seem to be the case here. There are better ways to voice your discontentment against bad takes. Use them.
a lot of right wingers shit on mozzila constantly and instead use the proprietary brave, or the absolute abortion (both in usability and performance)that is pale moon
the absolute abortion (both in usability and performance)that is pale moon
Everything about Pale Moon is a complete embarrassment. I’m reminded of this fiasco .
The culture wars are so advanced and 3D by now that whenever I see a techbro criticize Firefox, I assume they’re doing it to punish Mozilla EG “go woke go broke” because they fired a homophobic dick and are openly SJW-ish.
Drew is not a right-winger. Assuming so — even when the post doesn’t touch on that at all — is an issue with your intellectual attitude, not anything else.
“Mozilla published a statement siding with Google on anti-trust, failing to disclose the fact that Google pays to keep their lights on” This is so incorrect I’m assuming bad faith. Google is shit but Oracle is triple shit. If the SCOTUS sides with Oracle it will be disastrous for all FOSS development.
How is the antitrust lawsuit related to Oracle v. Google? He is referencing this article which is pure Google bootlicking. Also, it is true that Google mostly bankrolls Mozilla and has for a long time. Their royalties in 2014 were 90% from Google
“Raised executive pay 400% as their market share declined 85%” - this is so incorrect I’m assuming bad faith. Mozilla was paying their execs like 10% of the industry standard, and now pay them 40% of the industry standard. Capitalism is awful but this isn’t an example of incompetence or looting by the ruling class, it was to retain talent.
Talent? At the C-level? :agony-turbo:
At least we can agree that executives, at Mozilla or not, are generally overpaid.
