DEI is woke which is sjw which is PC which is just desegregation under a different name.

Like Gavin Newsom said and he woke is just anti-black.

If that makes you uncomfortable, good. Now get out there and enjoy some good trouble.

A lot of people chose Chrome long before this. Back then, the time you were talking about, Firefox while a capable browser ran like absolute dogshit. It was slow to load, slow to render pages, and riddled with memory leaks. That button may have driven a nail into the coffins of the alternatives, but those coffins were built on the back of V8 - a blistering fast Javascript engine which showed the world that it wasn't their modems that were slow, but rather the browsers they were using. It was almost a decade before Firefox even got back into the same league (Firefox's Quantum project in 2017).

Many of us migrated to Chrome long before a nag button appeared on Google's home page.

So please go through Mozilla's financial reports and show us where they are underspending on development. Also show the costing of having an artistic team (which exists and represents a fixed cost, and is a necessary component of any company selling a product) is impacting development ability.

You don't seem to understand how costs or effort is allocated. If you wanted to discuss a development team focusing on item A in the bug tracker instead of item B, then you have a point, that is a zero sum game for fixed developers. But a completely different existing department doing something different has zero impact on development. They not creating a little mascot would result in not one second of extra development time on bug tracking.

What's the point of developing an app if you users don't know about it? Marketing teams exist for a reason.

And have the marketing team do what? Wait ... are you suggesting we should get an expert in Adobe Illustrator to start ... doing ... bug fixes? That would be a disaster.

Fun fact it was created by a marketing person at Mozilla, not by a developer, and not by the community. But they did offer guidelines on how to draw them. Maybe you should pull your weight and start drawing wallpapers of Kit? Seeing how you're so desperate for this community involvement.

And they all have the same ability. Just open up the Windows Volume Mixer to redirect an application to a different output device.

Actually they don't all have this same ability. The "creator's" and "artistic's" OS, the audio engineer's OS of choice, the dominant OS in the music industry in the 90s, ... Mac OS doesn't support this feature. You need a 3rd party app for that.

The person who can't get their parcel doesn't care how many ton-miles an aircraft does. If we follow your logic and assume the mileage on other air frames is higher, and you use a different airframe to replace what the MD-11 was doing then not only is 9% not a "pittance" it would actually be a far bigger impact in capacity loss for UPS than just 9%.

I had to look this up to double check but it would seem that we are currently discussing UPS flight 2976 out of Kentucky in 2025, so yes it very much is off topic.

But the courts are paying more attention now because it's ai and it's bad press.

But I would bet money if you did a exhaustive analysis of court filings you would find plenty of made up citations that nobody ever looked into.

Then again lawyers are famous for their honesty and decency so maybe I shouldn't make assumptions.

Don't reply to trolls. He wants you to reply because your comment gets modded up and that keeps his comment visible. Without your plus three comment keeping his comment visible the idea is he's putting out disappear because his low-modded comment doesn't show up on most people's screens. The mod system hides his comment as the low effort troll post it is.

Wait a little bit and let the mods do their job. Now sometimes the mods failed to do their job and sometimes sock puppets mod things up anyway. If that happens that's when you want to step in.

And remember, DEI is woke which is sjw which is PC which is desegregation.

Bankers in America at least don't really do that. What you're thinking of are large investors. People with net worth over 500 million.

Bankers just loan money. These days they don't give a shit who they loan it to as long as the loan is big and they can justify the loan to shareholders and the government. Which of course is remarkably easy because we don't regulate things properly anymore.

The banks don't care about the quality of the loans because they have set themselves up so that if they go down they take the entire world economy down with them basically meaning we are all in a hostage situation.

The same is true for those ultra wealthy investors by the way.

Thanks though are an institution rather than individuals. That's an important distinction because Banks are, or at least should be, heavily heavily heavily regulated to force them to be run safely and intelligently. The problem is we've gotten so obsessed with free market bullshit that we don't regulate things that we need to be regulating anymore.

Getting back to AI bullshit though that's going to be investors and big shareholders demanding limitless returns and line go up.

That's funny I thought they only did that in there Arcady games like NHL hits.

And you can play it on mame. It didn't get released because they couldn't figure out a way to make baseball profitable in the arcade.

The problem was baseball doesn't break up into easily monetizable chunks like football and especially basketball. So it's hard to get the pacing right where you're getting a user is done before ordering every few minutes. I think older arcade baseball games could be profitable because they were much simpler, usually just boiling down the home run fests. But by the 90s people expected to play a full game.

It's also possible that those older games weren't profitable but operators didn't really notice as much. I won't say that I didn't see the ball games on the floor back in the daydidn't didn't go to arcades very often. Still it was usually football in the '80s and basketball in the 90s

Yes because we all know in a growing world with growing interdependency on trade the most viable step forward is to start by cutting 90% of logistic capacity in new manufacturing?

This. Firefox's commit graph on Github has been perfectly stable at over 1000 commits a week for the past year. At no point in the graph can you see where this mascot was developed. It turns out when you have more than one person you can do more than one thing at a time. For some reason this seems to be a shock repeatedly to some Slashdot users.

TIL Mozilla had a team translating KB articles to Japanese. TIalsoL that Mozilla had KB articles. I honestly thought it was just an automated bot that replied "WONTFIX" to every question.

And what "tech" do you suggest they do? They've been averaging over 1000 commits per week to their code based for the entire year now. You can't pick on the development graph where they have done this "instead" of anything. In fact the Firefox codebase is so actively worked on several of Github's insight tools don't work on it throwing an error saying there are too many changes to analyse.

So please do tell us what the fuck you're talking about.
