it's good that matt is following the legal advice any lawyer would give you: 'keep posting'
also if we're lucky, he might sign up here and yell at us

Reply to Brazil unbanned twitter by nomorepie
After the platform settled $5.2 million in fines, appointed a legal representative in Brazil and complied with orders to deactivate accounts, the block was lifted on 8 October 2024.[1]
elon did all the things he initially refused to do, and got to pay $5M on top. masterful gambit.

Reply to comment by neku in i deleted my mozilla account by emma
to be clear, i'm not switching browsers over their acquisition of an ad business. all i've done is delete my mozilla account.
i'm preparing to make a switch, because i strongly believe manifest v2 support will be removed in the future, and that the ad business will negatively affect firefox. mozilla has followed google off every cliff, and i'll point towards floc as an example of that, since that's essentially just the deceptively named 'privacy-preserving ad measurement' rebranded.
once v2 support is gone, firefox will be on equal or worse footing compared to chrome with regards to privacy. at that point, i may as well go for chrome, since that doesn't have websites breaking in it for bad reasons. i don't care if david or goliath wins when i find both undesirable.
if "AI" is in chrome, i haven't noticed it. i assume they're just doing what mozilla is doing where it's mostly just vapid marketing nonsense.

google doesn't need to use chrome to push ads and stuff. they have a vast collection of services that are unavoidable and which people actually use. mozilla, on the other hand, has only one product with wide reach: firefox. so it stands to reason that if mozilla's gonna do something nasty with their ad business, it has to be firefox users who become the victims of it.
i believe this is why mozilla builds support for crapgpt into firefox, and google doesn't build it into chrome. people will simply get that when they use google search anyway.

yeah, it's open source in the sense the code is available for everyone to use, but no one would want to.

my perception of brave is very negative due to the people in charge, so i don't think i'll be switching to that.
i've used mozilla browsers since 2003 (mozilla suite, which became seamonkey, then firefox 1.0), and it's very upsetting seeing what we've lost, and all the flavours of chrome we're left with.

i made simple android ones in uni, and i think i could be good at if i wanted. but i just have a complete lack of interest in it.
on the other hand, if i were interested in making any app for anything, then maybe the postmill api wouldn't be so shit.

i use intellij/phpstorm for all my work on postmill. it's great. i think once microsoft buys it and tells everyone to switch to vs code, i'm just done being a developer.

sorry, i was a bit unclear. a user style is a thing you add in your browser. you probably need an extension for that, but i haven't kept up with those in forever, so idk which one.
emma wrote
i think i should just put that straight into postmill, honestly
until then, you could use a custom user style containing:
.submission--has-body .submission__link::after {
content: ' [Aa]';
}
