As someone with a 20 year old Reddit account, I have to say I agree. The character of Reddit did change noticeably when digg users came over. And that’s fine. But it definitely happened.

Set up your own emergency grid. I’ve got a couple solar powered nodes around so I can contact my wife even from the villages that aren’t in mobile coverage.

You’d be surprised.

So you could in Delphi’s VCL and that compiled to every platform too. And that in the early 90s.

That was en IE tag. I still used it all the time.

Isn’t this all marketing mumbo jumbo by now?

Yes I know what’s on a SIM card. But if it’s physical I can move it to another phone in a flash. With an eSIM I had to ask pretty please of the phone companies.

I can move my phone number to another phone in 2 minutes without involving the phone company. The same is definitely not true with an eSIM.

In a world of corporate control over everything, I’ll take my globally defined, physical interface standard thank you.

Lingonberries don’t grow in Denmark, only in Sweden and Norway. I personally think you might be a Sweden sympathiser and we all know how Danes treat those.

You’re not wrong. But I’m not on social media so have no channels to shout on. I doubt any newspaper would accept a reader contribution about this.

This article was last updated in 2022. I wonder how much of it is still true.

I’ve been on Firefox since the very, very, very earliest days, back from when it started as Phoenix. I’ve been diehard believer in Firefox from Day 1.

But as usage has declined (and declined), many websites that I actually need to use no longer test for Firefox. A key website I use doesn’t allow me to log in with Firefox. Not as a “we don’t support Firefox” but quite literally it doesn’t work.

I’m all for flying the banner but I can’t live with a browser that no longer works on the websites I need. And yes, I’ve filed a bug, but because it relates to a login Mozilla closed it (they can’t verify logging in to this website).

I happen to be moving my account to a different website so I may be able to dodge it this time but Firefox really is sinking and at what point does one choose to abandon the ship?

That’s a hell of a lot better than most other systems. If true, and if scalable, this is a huge innovation.

And if there is a known high wind coming, the plant can forcefully go through the compression cycle to remove the bubble.

Depending on where you are in China, I agree. But the benefits are very unevenly distributed.

They’re like kids trying to dam up a stream in the forest. They’re all enthusiastic at the start and then they realise the power of water and quickly give up. Still, for a few moments, it gives them a sense of control.

Yes but all of these depend on the development team at Firefox. I don’t know what the solution is, but I do know that those three browsers would not continue if Firefox didn’t also continue. There’s still a lot of development work from Firefox.

At this point I think the safer route would be to just accept the Chromium hegemony and build a free browser from that.

In a personal context, agreed. In a business context, I completely disagree. Analysts, finance, operations etc all have much more complex requirements.
