Smashing is pretty humane, since you’re taking out their whole distributed nervous system simultaneously. With roaches I tend to smash with my foot and then smear them. The shearing action helps break apart nerve endings that might still be working if they were just compressed

I get what you’re saying, but it’s suspicious how averse they are to other revenue sources. They allowed their subscription offerings to wither away over the years (I should know, I was a big enough sucker to stick with them as they let them rot with no new features), and do not take donations for their browser. They were also sitting on a billion in assets in 2023, so I’m not clear where the money has been going other than executive pay. Meanwhile, Thunderbird was given more autonomy and is thriving with record donation revenue. In fact, several projects that suffered under Mozilla found a second wind as soon as Mozilla gave up management, like Rust, Servo, Firefox OS (now KaiOS). Mozilla really should be totally reconstituted. Something is deeply wrong in the organization

Oh the Germanity

A couple others tried, but it’s Juma’s thing

Cognitive decline leading them to adopt ideologies that don’t require them to think too hard

For those saying Figure or it didn’t happen, from the paper

Changed :)

“each increase of 10 µg per deciliter in the lifetime average blood lead concentration was associated with a 4.6-point decrease in IQ” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4046839/

“cities/towns with more firearms had higher pediatric blood lead levels (highest quartile fully adjusted prevalence ratio ((aPR) = 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09, 1.30) with a significant increase in pediatric blood lead per increase in firearms” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S001393512300511X

Who’s asking for legalization of civilian use of uranium ammunition?

Oh cool, now do lost IQ points in children per gram

Handy in disasters

Building a browser engine is expensive. That’s why almost all other browser engined other than Apple’s have joined the Chromium Borg and gone extinct.

Just one more lane bro

When they advocated for Google in the search antitrust case, that was powerful evidence of how captured the board has become. They care more about their fat paychecks

I have Boost which tells me when it’s been cross posted. It says 3 times.

Why is it trash? And it hasn’t been posted on this community before

Yes, politicians were afraid to do anything about it for decades. It was a wink wink arrangement. Now it will be more official

Unfortunately we’ve seen over and over again that they are very narrow in what they accept as protected religious belief. Because they don’t really care about freedom or the first amendment, just coercing their particular beliefs on others

Buzzkrieg

It is classic tech company strategy.

We saw it with Amazon offering suspicious deals for years on name brand stuff to kill competitors. Uber offering subsidized rides to kill taxis. Google Photos offering unlimited free storage

If it seems too good to be true, check under your feet and see if there’s a rug there.
