If Trump wins, which would be awful, I doubt he would survive as President. That is more upsetting knowing his Vice President pick, JD Vance, is worse than Donald Trump. 😱
The guy who put in the countless, long, exhausting, stressful hours of sweat and tears. The guy who did so much, for so many, without ever needing to be asked, or ever once making a big deal out of it. The guy who made sure everyone's wants and needs were generally taken care of and who held things together, whenever shit hit the fan, and someone needed to make everyone's world right again.
Only for some random to basically walk through the door and be like, "sup?" and somehow gain the credit and notoriety and even respect, for doing nothing, other than just walking through the door.
That is why I don't care whether the CEO of WordPress is losing his cool right now. I can truly understand what it is like to experience someone come in on your "coattails". WordPress Engine is an awful company, run by awful people, and should WordPress come to an abrupt end, I will truly understand and respect as to why.
* No spyware. * No ad-ware. * Not owned by an advertising company. * Built in ad-blocker * Backed in support for uBlock functionality (since v6.9) * Great extension support. * Works on any website. * Available for Windows, Apple macOS, Linux, Android, and Apple iOS * Friendly community. * Vivaldi (the company) is part of the Fediverse (social dot Vivaldi dot net)
Although, I have never experienced anything positive when being part of a union (as a previous union worker) -- I will not stand in the way of others forming unions if they feel it could benefit them and others.
The war on drugs was lost a long time ago and making something illegal will not stop people from using if they wish to use. It will however, often discourage those who may need help from seeking help, fearing criminal prosecution. Furthermore, previously legalizing marijuana has brought in billions while also creating jobs.
There are no more reasons to use, Mozilla Firefox.
Better Privacy?
Mozilla is working closely with Facebook, Google, and is now a market research and advertising company. Furthermore, they're now including every possible AI in their web browser, which calls out even when disabled.
Better Ad blocking?
Mozilla is an ad company and recently gave the uBlock development team a hard time. uBlock Lite is not coming back to Firefox, and the uBlock developer is considering not to develop two builds in the future. Furthermore, even with an ad-blocker, by default, Firefox now monitors ad performance.
Better web browsing?
With a single digit market share, even governments are forgetting about Firefox. The United States, tax office (IRS), not so recently, experienced issues when loaded with Firefox.
It's the principle?
As we have established, there is no principle. Firefox is no different from Chromium and Mozilla, no better than Google or Microsoft.
Vivaldi web browser is everything Firefox should have been the last decade or more.
Yes, Vivaldi Browser is based off of the open source code, chromium, but it does not follow Google's lead, supporting both v2 and v3 browser extensions (meaning uBlock will still work). Vivaldi, includes their own ad and tracker blocker, is not owned and managed by an ad company, and is the ONLY web browser to be A.I. free (does not include an AI).
The latest version, 6.9, even added support to ensure uBlock will continue to work.
The Sharkey bug, that sometimes causes post to go "poof" if you attempt to "delete and edit", but mistakenly click anywhere outside the overlay --- Yea, that is getting on my nerves.
I have not been able to reproduce that bug in Misskey or CherryPick. It seems to be exclusive to Sharkey. Thank goodness for that fact. I am truly looking forward to our move to Cherry Pick.
