From your ugly ass mother. Why the fuck do you care? Different countries have different threats and enemies. Most of Europe has Russia, a bunch of Asian countries have China and North Korea, etc.

I am so fucking tired of these people honestly. I'm at the point where I want "progressives" either homeless on the streets, in jail, or straight up... no longer existing.

@PalePimp @ForbiddenDreamer
So US can't defend it's allies because it annoys your brother Putin? Though luck. Go away now.

Not wanting DEI is probably an ideology for them. They likely associate a distaste for progressivism, marxism, socialism, communism, etc., with conservatism (which in their view is fascism of course). So for them not liking DEI=fascist. That's the ideology they proclaim to oppose.

The most stupid take I've read all year. Good to know you people are complete idiots on things beyond "muh jews".
All countries constantly develop military tech, especially those that declared you as their enemies. It doesn't take flying planes or drones over them to get them motivated.

Don't talk to me, or my zero point energy field manipulator, ever again.

@ForbiddenDreamer Is he not allowed a sense of humor? It also makes a good piece of threatening propaganda towards Iran. The message to the ayatollah is simple: "look, we still have plenty of planes and bombs, we did it once, we can do it again, and it's so easy, that it's like playing a game. If anything, we have fun by bombing you. So do you really want to piss us off?".

I knew Firefox was kinda bad, but I didn't know it was THIS bad. What the fuck happened? The meme was that Chrome was eating all your ram. When did the situation switch around this badly?

@mushroom_soup I should have started by reading the reddit community this was posted in.

I wonder if we might need to start building and using freemium internet browsers, if we really want to have online privacy.

If you look at something like Firefox, it generally has a pro-privacy stance, but at the same time, they take massive donations from Google, to make their search engine the default. They literally can't survive without the biggest threat to online privacy. So why the hell are people trusting Mozilla here, when Mozilla is literally throwing any beginner user to the wolves with this move? What, doesn't your grandma also have a right to her data privacy? Just because someone doesn't know technology well enough to change a search engine, it doesn't make it right for Mozilla to essentially profit from their ignorance.
And this does not even get into the issue that we ultimately don't know what Mozilla does with some of your data, like bookmarks that you can sync with their server. If they're cash strapped, why wouldn't they make some extra money by secretly giving that away?

A freemium model might help a browser sustain itself without being dependent on donations from big tech companies that have ulterior motives and goals.

Gacha gaming has unfortunately shown that the 80-20 rule is strong. You can have 80% of the people using a product for free, while 20% are more than able and willing to whale like crazy and sustain the developer of the product.
It doesn't need to be as exploitative as the average gacha game, but what if a similar model could be made to work for other software? A crazy good browser that gets it's money from selling themes? People are perfectly willing to spend money for game cosmetics, you think someone wouldn't spend money for a nice browser theme?

It's a crazy idea, an insane one even. But is it any crazier than expecting the people who take money from the companies that threaten your privacy, to protect your privacy? Isn't that a conflict of interest? I don't even know why I didn't think about this before (the conflict of interest thing).
