Are you shitposting, I can’t tell

I need to start using negative numbers to refer to BC years

I’m in the 1%

They’re job providers, we need to give them all the tax breaks

Why? The fat used is sausage drippings. I can’t see how that doesn’t count is a gravy, even if you’re being very pedantic about it (which you are).

Honestly why? I’ve actually been seeing too much generic boring meme content on here and if anything I want to see less of it.

The way allah intended

What a weird post to get upset and offended over

I get the sentiment, but most places don’t have even halfway decent coffee shops. Everyone gives starbucks shit (rightfully so), but the fact is if you walk into a random cafe in America, it will most likely be inferior to starbucks. The level of quality in American coffee is just abysmal. And if you’re traveling, you won’t know if the cafe you take a chance on is a hidden gem (spoiler, it never is). I was in Austin one time and I found this hipster place that had great reviews on google. The interior was really nice, nice place to work, spacious, etc. The coffee tasted like dog water. It wasn’t mediocre, it was trash. I’m sure Austin has great cafes, but unless you live there how will you know? Starbucks is a consistent mediocre coffee.

Perhaps he was an Italian fascist instead

Whichever your favorite one is, that’s the most overrated one

I agree! Let me know when you find an uncorrupt government or uncorrupt corporation.

What is why? What is the solution we’re trying to solve?

Lemmy being imperfect doesn’t change the fact that it does solve one big problem: it takes the big corporation and its influences out of the equation. It is not possible for a centralized solution to do this.

Right but it would be an even better alternative if you had the choice who to block.

Btw blocking instances at the user level is a feature that will be coming to lemmy soon.

I’m not sure what you mean exactly but I think you might be missing the point. Google is using chromium’s ubiquity to exert control over how the internet works. Chromium being so ubiquitous makes it so web servers can lock out other web browsers.

If you want the entire internet to work like an adobe product, where one company has absolute control over it, then yeah your analogy works. But the whole point is people don’t want that.

Okay. But google controls chromium, and everything that goes in it. And they’re using that control to change how the internet works. So just saying that “chromium is a problem” can be considered a useful shorthand so you don’t have to explain that every time.

Yes but it was changed quite a bit, it supported way more standards and was getting way more updates to keep it up to date. The issue is that was expensive and also people complained that it some websites didn’t work on it, so it made more economical sense to switch it to chromium. I really wish they had kept it though.

In this thread lots of uninformed people rationalizing why it’s actually okay to use chromium.

It would be a monumental effort for smaller browsers to keep chromium extensions working, while the rest of the ecosystem moves to the new APIs. The only way that could work is if they all fork chromium and base their browsers on this new fork, and even then it’s not guaranteed to develop a real ecosystem of plugins since chrome has more users than all of those other chromium browsers combined.

So yeah you have to use Firefox if you want to avoid that, at least for now.

That’s fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it’s implemented it’s likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.
