i think this is the literal definition of not uplifting (a laying down person)

thank you

I’ve heard of “pirate radio” since decades ago but never understood what is pirated about it.

are they broadcasting pirated music? broadcasting from ships committing maritime piracy? drinking Captain Morgan?

this is a less apocalyptic version of the starving Palestinian children finally receiving bread.

i.e. justice delayed is justice denied

this Lady deserves damages payments PLUS back wage reparations for 70+/- years of lost working years.

“incredible” ≠ “not credible”

“incredible” = “amazing”

“not credible” = “disreputable”

i hope the "remarkable"ness isn’t because climate change forced herbivores into unfamiliar territory where they are easy to pick off.

i don’t know if deer are overpopulated in NorCal but other herbivore species may already be endangered before encountering new wolf packs.

did anyone rally/gather to help the kangaroo??

that’s really hopeful.

unfortunately, Japan companies notoriously don’t give a shit about earning money by making their fans (especially international fans) happy.

generally Japan companies’ main motivation for fandom is to create niche one-off experiences in inconvenient locations at inconvenient times in a way that only Japan residents with lots of free time and disposable income can participate. because that makes those participants feel special and elite in an exclusive secret “ultra rich aristocratic” feeling club.

Japan society rarely gives residents the feeling of being special and valued in social groups or even family, so they feel strongly enough to spend and charge exorbitantly for the experience.

exactly. thank you. this is the whole impetus for the conversation of what happens to Firefox and consequently its forks.

underlying assumptions:

• many privacy-minded users use Firefox forks on desktop and possibly mobile. Without Mozilla the organization, said forks may or may not be able to continue individually on their own. However, it seems hard to argue that they would fare better if a “main” Firefox continued, possibly under the umbrella of some pre-existing group like Canonical or Linux Foundation. Better yet if Mozilla were to reverse course from its user data cash-in moves and increase its long-term stability.

seems like you’re the one who understood best what I was getting at. thanks for your opinion.

i do hope they have enough budget

i went out of my way to avoid stating any hope of FF becoming the most popular.

like you said, i actually was thinking of them capturing about 5-10% more of the market. i think that would be a significant and worthy goal. it’s enough to increase interest from potential large donors, at least slightly.

I’ve been feeling that they were getting ready to turn FF into something more commercial, and if that didn’t stabilize/increase funding enough, to shut it down entirely. so a slight and sustainable increase of users and funding is the best near term outcome, in my mind.

i went out of my way to avoid stating any hope of FF becoming the most popular. i used “stable” (as in user numbers) multiple times.

true that

i thought Firefox translator didn’t have and East/Southeast Asian languages besides Vietnamese (because of Roman characters) so far
