because China has always been oh so welcoming of other religions right? Sources are great but calling this an outrageous claim is a bit much given the historical context.

Would you look at that yet another anti Mozilla post in this community. Go ahead and scroll thru the posts and you’ll find at least 4 from the last week or two alone

Not surprised, this community is terrible for actual technology need and discussion

Please do, that email will totally change everything

Firefox hate has become more and more rampant as Google tries to tighten their fist around chromium challengers

This is such an ignorant take, this preserves privacy, did you even read the fucking article??? Like seriously this comment is purely false assumptions

Chromium shill

and?

side-loading in iOS has been possible for some time now

Absolutely, in addition to this, you can sideload apps as well without issue. I do it all the time

and iOS supports sideloading, don’t twist reality. The elitism is dripping from every word of your comment. It’d be alright if your comments were based in reality but they aren’t :/

is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store

This whole thread is absurd, sideloading is possible on iOS, end of story. As per the original OP, their comment is 100% about sideloading

My message is clearly talking about side loading. Don’t twist my words.

This is why you don’t buy into closed-garden ecosystems like this.

You can absolutely set up a VPN without any app, thus your argument of how this is a reason why the walled-garden concept is flawed. iOS also has side-loading btw :)

There’s really only one choice if you care about freedom.

There really isn’t just one choice if you care about freedom, it’s ironic you think a singular choice is the way forward anyway when talking about freedom. Really interesting how you shape this narrative based on zero facts.

Lastly, I think it’s very funny that you think Google is someone you can trust to give you freedom

they’ve been allowed to do whatever they want for so long they stopped trying to properly hide it very long ago.

now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic

excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you’re talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers…), where are the Ds deciding they don’t like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people’s pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.

Seriously… Who gives a fuck if a good thing is being done because it makes someone money vs making someone happy? At the end of the day, the good thing happened. That’s a win. We live in a capitalist society, this should be a very common concept good or not.

Like seriously, who gives a shit if rainbow capitalism was for making money? It absolutely helped at least some (if not many) people feel seen and accepted.

“I would take this vaccine but someone created it because it would make them money so I’m critical”

In what world does that make sense??? As long as you understand WHY they do what they do (thus keeping yourself from being convinced they actually do care lmao), then its all good and take advantage of the good thing as it happens.

the kids are busy getting their politics from tiktok lmao ain’t no way they understand what’s happening let alone why in relation to what has come before

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like “I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads”, like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol
