Shattering the glass ceiling for who’s allowed to be a total piece of shit.

Yeah what’s the big deal about making kids go through the wrong puberty? That’s never life-altering, or life-ending.

Especially when these miserable fucks also shit on trans adults.

Yeah, that guy’s not joking.

It’s not some kayfabe act. He is sincere in all of that posturing assholery.

Block and move on.

Good fucking luck to any landlord looking to be named in a manifesto.

You might get mentioned. You won’t like how.

The userbase’s downvote-happy inability to take criticism barely matters.

The other half of what’s wrong with .ml is the blatant censorship all over the goddamn site.

This is dumb. Corporate divestment, sure, of course, fuck their money and their power structures. But open-source developers are not generally gung-ho about the war effort… let alone propping up their local military-industrial complex.

Open-source is politics.

Putin overthrown by Friday.

See: The Website Obesity Crisis.

The author links their tweet saying “your website should not exceed in file size the major works of Russian literature.” At the time, that page on Twitter was 900 KB. Today it is 11 MB.

Nothing has ever worked less than giving people text and getting mad when they have it. It was a joke on Geocities in the ninteteen goddamn hundreds, and yet people keep fuckin’ trying.

C++'s feature set follows the same rules as the Borg.

The FOSS story, yes. But the code is out there. Even the stuff they weren’t supposed to share.

Can you name any userbase more ready to pirate the shit out of a third-party fork? Maybe the people still using Media Player Classic.

A mistranslation from Latin versus the plain meaning that’s also what everyone intends and infers. Wow. What a dilemma.

Why the fuck would they need to replicate free software? It’s open. Anyone can start doing their own thing with it, independent of external influence.

And the author spent a year hassling Mozilla about how killing XUL plugins would make his wildly popular plugin nearly impossible. Did they move one iota to help that? Nope. Did they adopt DTA functionality natively, like they’d absorbed Pocket? Did they fuck. Their mantra for two straight decades has been “just rewrite!” and they cannot imagine why they kept hemorrhaging devs and plugins and users once Chrome slimed its way into everyone’s options.

There’s a dozen Firefox extensions that really matter, at any given time. Mozilla has never appeared to give a particular shit about any of them. Paying special attention based on popularity wouldn’t be ideal, but for fuck’s sake, their passive-aggressive treatment keeps burning out the developers who fuel their ecosystem, and it would take vanishingly little effort to shield their keystone plugins.

If their active neglect had ruined both uBlock and DownThemAll - I’m not sure I’d be using Firefox anymore, and I’ve been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox. Why the fuck would anyone normal even consider it?

The left has people like this: tankies. Shallow loyalists who don’t really grasp that reality exists beyond who-says. It’s just - people in that mindset are endemic to the right, because a hierarchy-driven worldview maps neatly onto consolidating power and mumble mumble it’ll work out for the best, whereas you have to go pretty far around the bend to make it fit egalitarian self-direction.

Leftists and progressives have their crazies. The right puts them in charge.
