start putting up the money to make their support no longer required

There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.

Mozilla doesn’t even ask for donations from users a whole lot, and the money they receive mostly doesn’t go into development of the browser:

These funds directly support advocacy campaigns (i.e. asking big tech companies to protect your privacy), research and publications like the *Privacy Not Included buyer’s guide and Internet Health Report, and covers a portion of our annual MozFest gathering.

That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job.

Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.

Actually “fuck off” to the above statement as well in many cases. “I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.” Fuck off. Where I live (Croatia) pharmacies can refuse to sell you contraceptive pills if the person on the counter says it disagrees with their religion. Fuck off.

People’s values are never a purely private matter.

They’re literally using people’s shitting and pissing to train AI.

But isn’t AI already shitty enough by itself??

Well, db0 isn’t strictly anarchist, I joined because it’s a pro-piracy instance (and also have no essential problems with the other important positions of the instance, i.e. anarchism and being pro-AI). So it’s unavoidable that some non-anarchists join as well. I’ve seen some - but still very few - db0 users who do come off as tankies. Either way even if there was more of them it still makes no sense to me why the above user would find it relevant to shit on db0 in this thread.

Now it’s updated, you’re human again :)

True, though it’s not a very funny shitpost, if that’s the case. I’m failing to see any irony there, unless the sheer childishness is meant to be a giveaway.

Tf does db0 even have to do with this? Are you ok?

Also OP:

Where can I call women sl*ts and wh#res when they disagree with me on opinion?

Where can I call men bitch*s, when they try to correct me?

Where do femcels, Andrew Tates and wizards talk here?

Strong “14-year-old discovers /b/” vibes there.

Hmm, you’re still marked as a bot on my end. Maybe it takes a while to update outside of your native instance.

My impression is that for ordinary non-power users it was supported from the start (i.e. the commonplace image viewers and editors could open it - at least I personally had no issues), it just felt annoying at first because it seemed forced upon the user.

That’s some pretty nice moiré you got on the pillow

This sort of advice would be more useful 200 pages ago… but anyway it’s always good to search for an annotated edition. I read Norton critical edition,* it was really good, had diagrams showing what the different parts of the boat are called, a glossary, supplementary essays, and throughout the text all sorts of footnotes (some of them maybe too explicitly interpretative, but oh well). But I believe even the slightly more modest but still seriously prepared editions such as Oxford World Classics would do the job.

* a critical edition means the editors didn’t just reproduce an existing text, but worked off the most “original” materials available, such as the first edition or the author’s own manuscripts

Writing? Queequeg-Ishmael yaoi shows up on Google Images, this stuff is way beyond just dark corners.

Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.

Yes. It’s probably my favourite book ever. No need for it to be a page-turner if each page is interesting by itself.

Changed it, a bit long now but I guess it’s ok?
