It is true, though.

The company counts Elon Musk among its cofounders, though he has since cut ties and become a vocal critic of it (while launching his own competitor).

Have you been paying attention? Like, at all? They fundraise on that shit.

They’re afraid of losing their jobs, though. If you can credibly threaten to primary them, they’ll act.

Trump is a lot of things, but he definitely isn’t a status quo politician.

I still remember the full-on panic mode people were in when it looked like Bernie might clinch the nomination in 2020. So absurd, but that’s what happens when the ruling class is afraid that they might have to pay higher taxes.

You mean “greater fool”. As in, you’re looking for somebody who’s a greater fool than you to sell to.

I had a boss who once told me that there are two things you should never force: love and machines. If you have to try that hard, you’re doing it wrong.

Lack of port-forwarding is a deal-breaker, unfortunately.

“Too strict” how? I don’t know what’s “usable” for you.

So, um, which VPN does the bandwagon like?

FireDragon, Zen Browser, and LibreWolf. Zen feels like a streamlined Chrome.

Zen is worth checking out. It isn’t my favorite, but it’s trying to do some cool stuff. It might eventually become my favorite once it becomes more stable.

Right now, I’m digging FireDragon. It has two sidebars: one vertical tab bar and one for gadgets. And the vertical tab bar collapses to icons when you aren’t hovering over it.

And if you don’t like Firefox, use one of the Firefox forks. Some of them are very Chrome-like.

Speaking of Firefox forks… they’re doing some really cool things with FireDragon and Zen Browser.

Kind of, but not really. It’s more like Musk is doing Trump’s dirty work for him so that when the shit hits the fan, he gets the blame instead of Trump.

It’s been an ad company for a long time, though, and blocking ad blockers is new.

It’s called schizophrenia, and there’s medication you can take for it.

Malestorm

Hallelujah! Amen!

In 2025, that’s like saying “Hey, we should go back to Myspace!” Myspace did a complete makeover, too. Does anybody care? No.

With Lemmy, you can defederate.
