I agree with you on everything, other than
I legitimately want to scream sometimes as I feel the continual death of local computing and actual software
…it seems to me that it’s never been better, there’s free software for everything, osm data for mapping, it’s just that our expectations have shifted.
Fuck you, Mozilla. I’ll turn off any option you expose and run away to Librewolf or Fennec as soon as you cross the line. And the line is ublock origin, make no mistake about that. Here’s a tip: Raymond Hill is the most valuable asset Mozilla has and, here’s the kicker – YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE HIM.
Disney’s milking made the licence really unappealing and Ubisoft’s open worlds were unappealing even back when they had some quality control and graphics had to look good. Now it’s just smear this unplausible cutesy mammal sidekick with some temporal antialiasing and also no one on our team knows how to make enemies exhibit any behavior. Fucking die, Ubisoft. I told you in 2012. when you made uplay it would end like this.
Good luck selling your $700 locked-down computer with no gaems but enshittified to hell and back.
My shit-flinging catapult flinging shit onto your house is a bug, it was meant to stay still, peacefully targeting it with a huge load of shit and never firing.
Really jamming that stick in the old spokes
What’s going on? I feel he does the same music he’s always done, but he lost the room. Some drama?
Thanks, I’ll peruse this. Dare To Be Stupid is my favorite song by both him and one of top Devo songs.
Imma block you for this, it’s not personal tho
The new album “Vandalist” is really great.
It is a good game IMO, but they will have completely missed the hype train by November.
Interesting, I’d say it’s incredibly badly designed and executed given Ubisoft’s resources and the open world games they can make. The lack of danger and enemy awareness, the perfunctory stealth that barely works, the mostly empty open world and floaty speeder, the formulaic story…
Now, the one thing we learned from Ubi’s mistakes is that there’s no second chance for a first impression. They added a completely new and rather good campaign to try and fix Breakpoint, making all the looter tropes optional and it works great, it’s a good open world game after that, but I haven’t seen an influx of new players.
You’re right, it was rude. Sorry.
User JohnFen on ycombinator’s hacker news said it nicely and I’m lazy, so:
PPA means that my browser is doing the spying instead of a third party directly. That’s certainly a privacy improvement, but I don’t consider it sufficient.
“Sufficiently private” is a subjective call. I don’t want to be spied on. Whether or not there are technological “privacy preserving” features baked into it doesn’t alter that fundamental fact.
All that said, this isn’t a bad enough move to get me to stop using Firefox, as long as I can keep it disabled. It does mean that I have to view Firefox with suspicion, though. I can’t consider the browser to be my “user agent” anymore.

Has Mozilla done sometime to deserve this skepticism?
Yes, their “privacy friendly ad measurement” that’s opt out is a faux pas that I just can’t forgive. I used to donate to the fuckers.
now the game requires a PSN account on PC
I gladly would have paid 10 €bucks for the upgrade as I really enjoyed the game, but Sony can get fucked, it’s a singleplayer game.
Hopefully this makes some of the Firefox shills finally realize it’s time to change our recommendations.
There’s still nothing better, you just have to be careful to block all their moneymaking bullshit attempts like save-your-shit-into-our-pocket and virginity-preserving assfucking. I use Fennec on android, though.
talking to Mozilla directly and advocating for them to do the right thing going for a legal complaint as the final nuclear option
Fuck that, they know what they’re doing and they know what the right thing is. Mozilla is the enemy for some time now, Firefox’s development is basically held hostage by a shitty corporation and a toothless foundation.
High five! I’ve posted a couple of their songs here, they’re a real gift to old Tinariwen fans.
I am really enjoying this downfall of Bethesda, Blizzard, Ubisoft and EA, more than I enjoyed anything they published in half a decade. I wish death also to Gearbox. It’s coming and after Randy bought and promptly ruined RoR2, my schadenfreude is tingling.
