There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income
Definitely. I don’t know where the quote came from, but it always sits in the back of my head: “you’re always two steps away from losing all your stability.” No matter your lot in life, you’ve probably built a routine. That routine can always be destroyed by something in a flash.
Everyone has a spot on the big food pyramid of the socio-political hierarchy. Good, smart, and hardworking people of merit make their way to the top. Bad, dumb, and lazy people go to the bottom. For convenience sake, this hierarchy is color-coded. In a zero-sum world, everyone who gets to the top has to knock someone down a rung to make room.
I would argue this is how republican voters think. That they’re in the right because they are voting for the right of the individual. But on the other hand I think Republican policy makers give zero shits about a person’s self worth and actualization but rather they know that they need to feed the machine and we need the poor babies born to do so, and on the other hand they can demonstrate some form of moral high ground by deciding life and death.
There’s no death penalty for defrauding elections, molding the healthcare (or really any corporate) system to work for harm and profit, avoiding taxation through infinite shell companies and offshore bank accounts. Those things are celebrated as “beating the system”
Still to this day everyone that claims “Plandemic” is chasing some invisible elite power structure that somehow only includes democrats, without ever getting mad at the corporations that profited immensely off developing covid vaccines and charging market price for them as a portion of the world was dying.
As someone who uses Vivaldi, which has a significant number of power user and customization features, the fact this is no longer a thing is fucking bonkers to me
I can turn on an unsupported flag to make the UI a little cleaner for me
To me, it’s wild that the browser for the user decided to deprecate an option like that. Since they dropped XUL support I have very few options on customizing my browser outside of a theme or just writing my own CSS
From there, I’d just point to:
Firefox pulls in like 500 million dollars a year from Google. Barely any of those features exist in Firefox
I started with Firefox. I used it from day one, when it was an experiment coming out of the Mozilla suite.
I want to use it day to day so bad
But it’s become “how do we chase chrome”
And occasionally they get wins like this. And it no longer feels like
“How can we be best?”
This is a shit take. Manifest v3 is like activex. As of right now, it shuts down extensions they don’t want. Going forward, it sets up a system for extensions that are publisher-approved. When internet explorer took over the market I could still use Netscape until I couldn’t. I’m hoping Firefox doesn’t reach the same end
Why the LMAO?
Firefox was and still is recently vulnerable to a massive zero day:
Mozilla is now using users for their new AI focus.
We need to support continuous competition in the browser market through enhanced support and integration of W3C standards. And at the most important, decoupling corporations from the browsers. At the moment, it seems Google is being actively defensive (see manifest v3) against that while Firefox (Mozilla corporate) is just sort of moot on the issue, more concerned with AI.
As soon as you think it’s “us vs them” and your browser is also owned by a for profit company, we’ve lost
The geopolitical meta is strong here
Yeah that’s a huge part of it. Few Americans (me included) frequently walk outdoors on anything but sidewalks or paved roads in their normal day to day travels. When I go hiking I take those shoes off before I get back into the car, but my daily driver boat shoes which rarely touch actual dirt? I don’t have a problem leaving those on in most places, my house included. Same I imagine for Americans where their job is construction or something where your shoes are dirtied, take the work shoes off when you get home, but it’s fine to wear more casual shoes
Edit: what a strange thing to get downvoted about
Double edit: I guess the first downvotes were just from people who very much don’t like shoes in the house under any circumstances. That’s ok. If I come to your house my shoes will come off. If you come to mine, feel free to leave them on if they aren’t muddy.
Yeah he basically can go to China and North Korea, which, surprise, are also swimming in trade deals by providing fuel and military supplies
Can you explain? I’m unsure what you mean by this
But even NATO doesn’t like it if some nation goes above and beyond, provoking hostilities from the US means potential unwanted conflict from others, and the nations supplying oil and / or weapons to Russia feel the same way. The world is a big shitty political stage where every time an actor moves people die
I imagine if the legacy silicon hardware is straight from the factory the shape of the plastic doesn’t really matter too much
In all seriousness, afaik not unless they can replicate the wobble groove pressed into the discs, which is possible if they can press their own discs in bulk, but probably more expensive than it’s worth unless they are selling a ton of these
It’s also really heavily about tribalism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism
Because people like to be part of a specific group and feel like the goals of said group are their goals, regardless of the reality of the thing
No no you don’t understand. Every children’s story is about beating your competition in the market and how regulation doesn’t actually support competition because it’s on you to analyze and prepare for market forces. Also my billion dollar vehicle company is failing because I didn’t properly prepare, I’m gonna need a major government bailout
Well with infinite access to resources the pigs should have been stockpiling and starting to build businesses in the expectation that they would have needed to protect their property and could have hired a bigger, badder wolf at an acceptable market rate to ensure a minimal loss
/s in case that wasn’t clear
Yes that’s in both my comments about making the comment distinguished and adding the shield being a deliberate act
Agreed, but any admin or mod ever posting will have that tag next to their name. The deliberate act was making their comment distinguished and using their power in their own interests. I’m merely pointing out that calling out an admin or mod tag in the UI has nothing to do with the admin abusing power, and in fact is probably better considering you immediately know said user is an admin and using their power to support their own views rather than purely as an admin trying to ensure the rules are followed.
We should call out the shield icon as a deliberate act but afaik admins or moderators always have a tag if they are part of said groups next to their name in the default lemmy UI, so if that’s a concern it should be raised with the lemmy dev team, not specifically lemmy.world
Edit: specifically the mod/admin tag thing has already been an open issue for over a year, so it’s certainly a lemmy UI dev discussion
