So much flak for an open source product that is able to run nearly everything i throw at it (after some tweaking)... Is this windows hate by proxy?

I second this. You have to get used to the way you have to design websites to make them functional if javascript is turned off, but it is worth it.

Noscript users will second that websites that are completely non-functional ("whitescreen") without javascript are useless.

I could never see any morale in what the NSA does. Another case of a Pandoras box opened with grim consequences for everyone.

Instead of a Information network contributing to human kind we now have a weapons platform that allows to kill without a trace.

I found the lag between jumping and the avatar jumping very noticeable, but it created some entertaining evenings.

It is obvious to me that such a move (installing a piece of software without asking the user) is a breach of trust.

Why did they do it? Are they THAT stupid? Or was the sum payed to Firefox THAT big?

Absolute brilliant answer.

Yeah, here too. I never use journalctl because of its noisy output, when something failed i mostly tail the logfile of the application itself, with the added bonus of not having to deal with a binary log (gawd what a bad idea!)

google does not spy on your life AND internet is free and uncensored, everywhere.

this would free us from the need of another google "invention" that goes down the drain in one or two years.

Chrome "APPS" are just that: Not real apps. More like normal Websites.

Chrome Apps: useless.

AMP: useless.

"progressive" apps: useless.

Googles own fault for coming up with such crap.

If Mozilla continues alienating their loyal user base by changing the gui every release without fixing the abysmal multicore performance i guarantee that the user base won't jump on the firefoxOS bandwagon.

Patent stealing scum with bad hardware and abysmal support... i don't think makerbot will survive the next to years.

And then all makerbot owners have those very expensive machines that constantly break and no spare parts available.
