OT 19/3: Majorana's Mask

[EmptyNetAssassin]

I don't know if anyone remembers but I was going through some dark places with IVF and miscarriages with my wife. I would like to report that my wife is officially 5 weeks pregnant. I haven't told any of my IRL family or friends, but I can't keep this in. This is the first time we have gotten this far, and I am pumped but still afraid of it all crashing down around me. But for now I am going to enjoy this moment.

Congratulations man. Now coach that kid up to be the next kucherov.

The doom posting about Firefox feels overblown. Mozilla could definitely do better communicating things, and the internet was right to get on their case about it, but a segment of the internet is flipping out about them removing some language because the definition was proving a bit legally hazy.

They're comparing FF dropping 'not selling your data' to be the equivalent of Google removing 'Don't be evil', like that's some sort of legal precedent. Mozilla has gone overtly evil. They don't even make Marvel characters knowingly, intentionally, evil anymore. They're just the heroes of their own story.

A small non-profit, like Mozilla, doesn't use the same wording as Apple. They must be up to something.

The most proposed alternative, LibreWolf, at least on default settings, isn't really that viable as a daily driver browser. It's a fork of Firefox, but one that, at default, will delete all your cookies and temp files when you close the browser. That would mean that you'd have to sign back in to everything, potentially with 2FA, every time you open it back up.

Think about how quick Majorana 1 dropped out of consciousness. Microsoft said they discovered a new form of matter. Quantum computing.

Barely lasted 24 hours.
