Most users nowadays don't even know what file extension is .

- get rid of the suggested, stories, news feeds, widgets

So only get funding from the search deals? Also a lot of users love widgets.

- fix the update schedule so it doesn't brick randomly during the day until I restart it

Agree on this one

- get rid of accounts, ship a password manager extension by default if people can't be bothered to use one (I know accounts are here to stay, just make them... less)

There is a built in password manager without the need of accounts, I agree that accounts are pushed a little bit too much.

- When I download a browser I don't want 20 forced popups/check boxes asking me to import this, import that, sign in, improve my experience, make default, get rid of all of it

Because you know what you are doing. This doesn't apply to 98% of tech illiterate users, who won't know how to access the settings to import/change stuff later.

You are in the web right now.

Enable background updates when Firefox is not running[1]. This way it will be ready to launch anytime.

Also Vangelis was pretty much inspired by Byzantine Greek Music which was inspired by Ancient Greek music which was played in the ancient theater 2 millennia ago.

100% higher up decision, I bet they loose more on this than the powerpoint slide says they are earning.

> Vote in a literal tyrant.

Tyrant? You may disagree with him, but he got in through the system. Now if he doesn't get out that is another story.

While income taxes are low for the majority ( the salaries are low anyway) the indirect taxing is the way the Greek Goverment managed to recover.

The prices of everyday goods rose (sometimes more than double) and the profits from VAT(24%) with them.

High duties on fuel + fuel price went up, combined with rent prices (living far away from your workplace) => longer work commute, bad infrastructure and older vehicles ( no money to buy a fuel efficient one when you are poor)

Liberalization of the energy market forced by EU which lead to extreme prices. (new companies that don't produce anything got in the middleman position with only goal higher profits)

In summary, everything has been and continues to be done at the expense of the majority (low-wage earners), while making them even poorer.

I like your corner of the internet

So we should strive to maximize companies profits over the citizens?

For χ - χελιδόνι (swallow) with X tail-wings is the best

Just use the well know script to activate it and send a donation to MS or something. The margin of profit from individual keys is nothing.

(Can I post the link, to the open source repo? Is it against the rules? I mean MS owns github and has no problem hosting it)

Seems the poster is the one fooled by the AI more than anything, because most likely the bulk of the replies are bots, so you got AI to criticize AI.

This seems like a tiny percent of userbase if not personal issue. This can happen to any software for a specific config. Disabling hardware acceleration would most likely fix your issue but this is not a true solution. Also try forcing alternative encodings in youtube. Sadly if the issue is not widespread a fix from any company is not a priority.

json.loads is something you don't want to use in a loop if you care for performance at all. Just simple using orjson can give you 3x speed without the need to change anything.

The power struggle of global corps and old world Countries are a fine spectacle for us, who have lost our placement in the food chain to the man-made giants.

And another one! How long will it last? All bets on the table.

> No wonder people claim typing speed doesn't matter - they can barely think ahead one token, nevermind a statement or function, much less the whole design! Ideally your typing speed should become the bottleneck and you should be able to code "blind", without looking at the screen but merely outputting the code in your mind into the machine as fast as humanly possible. Instead we have barely-"developers" constantly chasing that next tiny dopamine hit of picking from an autocomplete menu. WTF!?

If writing code is an automated process for you, you are also begging for AI to be replace you. Just a more advanced one than the code-monkey in the OP.

The pandemic showed that govs can push what they want with minimal resistance and having the public on each other throats. People are also fatigued and isolated more than ever, perfect time to seize total control.

A lot of actual pedophiles will be exposed if it was used on politicians, we don't want that.

I refreshed the page, enabled js, refreshed again and again and finally I gave up thinking it is not loading because it was hugged to death. While reading the comments here it dawned on me that it was just a black background because it is night outside and the paged worked fine from the start...

The Glitch Mob?

Until you have to charge your phone.

It is a Greek word, used for Saints Icons painting, Agio (Saint) + Graphi (Writing down).

Painting in Greek is zographia, Zoi ( life/living) + Graphi. The use case in the Article and English is mostly from "intellectuals" who like to use cool words without even knowing their meaning.

I think Baker is now gone gone.

I agree, I am not saying that it is not nurture, in fact the opposite. Hyper focused on "human way of thinking" is not something you are born with, you adapt to it. In fact if you don't do it early you will never be able to 100%, in a way we rewire our brain to cope with how we want it to operate to be able fit in.

Our language for example, requires to be "forced on us" from early stages or you will never be able to "get it" [1]

> Most humans simply ignore animals when they communicate. Both because they're ignorant and because they won't bother to listen. You can't expect an animal to talk with human words, but they talk all the time. Pets actively have conversations with us.

With my dog I can understand angry/playful/sad/afraid/(give me food) barking/sounds and especially body language. But hearing "dog words" in random barking? Impossible.

While Humans can be seen as the most intelligent, we are hyper focused on "human way of thinking" in a way that we lose our "basic" instincts and abilities that other animal have.

My dog can understand my voice tone and emotions way better than I can understand hers, also animals can understand the difference sounds we make (words) that affect them, way better than our understanding of animals sounds.

Don't get me wrong we can make tools and we can experiment and be able to suppress all other animals. But a solo, "naked" human is like an office worker in world of manual labor.

Actually I had set a policy to block automatic updates. Sometimes they break things, and having a profile backup before updating to roll back in case of breakage is a must. So it is a win win for me.

If you can't do that maybe you shouldn't install custom extensions. (Joking, but maybe mozilla thinks that way?)

Anyway if you want to be able to run normal Firefox version (no beta,developer or esr) and want to install custom extensions there is an easier way but not well know.

Firefox Unbranded

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded...

It works fine expect for the "ugly" icon, but it is possible to modify it.

Does everything need to be signed? Use a tool to much and you end up becoming it's slave.

For a long time a had problems with some websites not loading videos when opened in background because I had an addon which disabled the page visibility api. So I download the source of the addon ( straight from the addons store right click the install button and save as..) changed the manifest to exclude the said sites, zip it back and install it again?

Well your addon needs to be signed to be installed permanent even when you manualy install it. I understand that this is to keep tech-illiterate users safe from malicious addons. So is there a flag/about:config setting for advanced users to enable which skips the check? Nope, there was one but not anymore. So what options do I have? Either use beta version of Firefox as my main browser (no thanks). Or create an account as a developer, upload my addon and wait for Mozzila to check and sign my addon (that I created for myself).
