I’m talking about the fact that it ever happened, at all, anywhere. In this sense and in this spirit that I say “the historical existence of snow.” It’s not about a particular place or amount.

I’m absolutely okay with vilifying people asking for sources on the historical existence of snow.
I bet they saw the source and said “oh, yes, thank you for the source, I have updated my opinion based on this new information.”
I was using them interchangeably. I guess one is understood to be kind of a general foundation or overall company, whereas Firefox is just the browser itself
I’m honestly not sure.

I don’t think throwing a fit and it being a hissy fit are the same thing.
the things people will debate online
edit: I beefed it on this one. They were being normal and I misunderstood. Note to self to think before typing in the future.
It’s probably a coincidence that shortly after Mozilla acquires an ad company, they “accidentally” remove an ad blocker.
I mean I’m of two minds here. One, there’s an epidemic of intellectually lazy, kneejerk Mozilla hate and it’s time to turn the tide on that.
But on the other hand, even as a Mozilla fanboy I can see how this is a really bad look, and really indefensible. I think it’s more of a huge error of judgment, and if there are other huge errors, I can begin to see a problem, but I think they have too much of a positive track record in their history to just go reaching for the tinfoil hats so quickly.
I thought that was the shit Chrome was doing to block adblockers and antimalware plugins, if Firefox is doing the same thing what browser do we use now? :-(
They’re doing a modified version of V3 that they changed to restore ad-blocking functionality.

It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong
Good to know! I wasn’t sure if it was automated or not. That’s rough.
Firefox will be adopting Manifest V3, but a modded version that enables ad blocking.
The best I can think of is that the explainer language used to justify the extension’s removal was just boilerplate language that got copy+pasted here because someone clicked the wrong button. But even that makes a mockery of the review process.
I think “oops clicked wrong button” would be slightly more defensible, but not by much. If they truly rejected the extension for content in it that it does not have, it’s hard to see how a human could make that mistake even accidentally. But maybe there’s something I’m missing.
Being open minded in response to new information is an automatic upvote from me
I had an alienware Steam Machine and it was perfectly fine.
I think the criticisms of the Steam Machine suffered from what I would call the Verge Syndrome, which is only being able to comprehend things in a binary of instant success or failure, with no in between and no comprehension of other definitions of success.
Steam Machines were a low risk initiative that were fine for what the were. They did not have a ring of death, they didn’t have a blue screen, the OS itself was not glitchy, they didn’t lose money, and they didn’t fail any stated goals. They got the Proton ecosystem up and running, and got the ball rolling on hardware partnerships, which led to the smash success of the Steam Deck which would not have been otherwise possible.
I understand that argument, but to me that departs from normal parlance of the kind that would ever be used in a meme.
I think the meme is suggesting that they were literally made by “the West” but maybe I’m missing something
and go to collage.
This is who I want telling me reading is bad
I know this is not the point, but “begs this question” is the oddest construction of that phrase I’ve heard yet.
