Really?

My laptop only supports expanding the RAM up to 12 GB IIRC. ~Red

Wow, I’m pretty sure my laptop has less RAM than that. ~Cherri

So nothing?.. ~Strawberry

Is there anything that can be done to make content moderation less traumatizing? ~Strawberry

I don’t mean pedophilia specifically. I mean the sort of people who think screaming at and hitting their kids is discipline for some reason as well, or the sort of people who deliberately deny necessary healthcare and education to their trans kid, etc. ~Strawberry

Does the calculation showing that it’s cheaper when accounting for inflation also account for wage stagnation? ~Strawberry

Not quite. The main groups who push this crap, IIRC, tend to be the same groups of far-right evangelicals who insist on homeschooling their children because “public schools are liberal indoctrination” and totally not because they’re trying to isolate their child so it’s easier to abuse them. ~Strawberry

I mean they can make up as many bullshit justifications as they want, but what they’re doing is abuse and they’re trying to make it easier to do. ~Strawberry

But why do they come up with stuff that kills people like this? ~Strawberry

I thought that the “drink bleach” thing was a joke. ~Strawberry

Wouldn’t that effectively restrict a lot of platforms to people age 16 or older? I am a bit worried that such an id law could cut off younger queer teens dealing with abuse that’s severe enough to qualify as abuse in the academic sense, but not in the eyes of the law, from vital community… ~Strawberry

Because they’re only a minority so they don’t count! /s ~Strawberry

IIRC I2P can’t access the clear net and Tor is still absurdly slow. I’m not sure what to do there. ~Strawberry

It’s not like there aren’t already a lot of people trying to vote better people in, it just never seems to be enough… ~Strawberry

When you put it that way, it does actually sound interesting, though I’m still a bit skeptical of its lack of open sourcing. In addition, unmodified Chromium phones home to Google a lot IIRC. There’s a reason Ungoogled Chromium exists. If there’s a way to use Ungoogled Chromium with it or even Gecko, it’d be a bit more compelling for me. I’m not quite sure if I see Chromium’s extension library as a positive. I get that it’s larger than Firefox’s library, and I’m sure there are plenty of interesting ones that aren’t on Firefox but are on Chromium. However, a lot of those extensions are either pretty low quality or are straight-up malware (I’m more concerned with the latter, the former can just be disregarded). It seems like every couple of months or so, a new article comes out about a bunch of malware being found on the Chrome Web Store. Even accounting for Firefox’s smaller userbase, there are very few articles about such incidents happening on Mozilla’s extension repository. And I’ve noticed that Mozilla tends to respond more quickly to reports of malware than Google does. CWS has also had a problem with survey scam extensions that blatantly impersonated various companies in the past, though I’m not sure if that’s still a problem. I’ve recently found that FVD Speed Dial intercepts search queries that are supposed to go to Bing or Yahoo when you use the search bar added by their new tab page before redirecting you to Bing or Yahoo when it’s not supposed to do that. Essentially an MITM attack. This behavior has gotten them banned from Mozilla’s extension repository in the past, but despite the fact that they’re still doing it, Google has featured the extension on CWS. ~Strawberry

I hate it already! ~Strawberry

If this browser is as slow as their website, I can’t say it’s looking too good. It also appears to be just another Chromium browser, because I guess we needed more of those. And it appears to be closed source. Hard pass. ~Strawberry

Edit: No plans for a Linux port and they’re planning on shoehorning A"I" into it. I hate it already.

This is your brain on Great Man Theory. ~Strawberry

Any info on how this applies to trans people? ~Strawberry
