What are your thoughts on this? "How did Mozilla Firefox go from being the best and most beloved browser to suddenly the worst company and browser according to Reddit"
  • Firefox and it's forks are the best browsers. They are still not very good. There are a ton of bad decisions and poor code. From old legacy stuff like how user profiles are stored to closed source shit like pocket.

    The mozilla foundation has been on a downhill slide since google hired the skilled programmers to make chrome. Bad leadership,poor spending, and stupid priorities.

    So yes firefox is the best browser. But that's kind of like being the best cable company. Not exactly a great thing.

  • A realistic future
  • To be fair the safety screen is like sunglasses. Sometimes you need them and sometimes it makes things hard to see. But yeah he should have just hit the button or dived under three desk.

    RTD Doctor Who usually operates on cartoon logic. The Doctor is smart and can do clever things sure. But pushing radiation from his body into his shoe and tossing it in the garbage. That's Bugs Bunny stuff.

  • Supreme Court overturns ex-mayor’s bribery conviction, narrowing the scope of public corruption law
  • Not exactly the AP article is bad. You still can't make an agreement before the act and get paid latter or ask for a payment latter.

    However as long as you keep it sufficiently wink wink nudge nudge you are fine as intent now has to be proven.

  • What do you think the Great Filter is?
  • An alternative is we are among the first. Third generation stars are the ones that have planets with enough heavy elements to allow for complex chemistry. Sol (our star) is thought to be among the first batch of third generation stars in our gallexy.

    Light speed does seem to be the upper speed limit for the universe. Talking that into account we probably haven't had a chance to see other early life as it would likely be spread pretty thin right now.

  • Judge in Trump Documents Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside
  • She is a federal judge. The only way to remove her is impeachment it's the exact same process as removing the president.

    If she is not impeached she can sit on bench the rest of her life even if every ruling she makes is overturned by higher courts.

  • He deserves better
  • Which is odd that some people care so much about this. Games Workshop used to make female space marine models but stopped because they didn't sell well.

    My head canon is that with all the hormones to boost mucles, organs changed out, bones merged with ceramics, extra heart, special space marine reproductive organ in the chest, black carapace, acid spit, memory eating organ, etc. Doesn't matter if you start with Judy Garland or Arnold Schwarzenegger you get Lou Ferrigno at the end.

  • What does the world think of India?
  • So from the perspective of being in the United States. Remote Indian work it's cheap but of extremely low quality. This ranges from call center workers to programming and engineering work.

    This is usually a sign of the company trying to cheap out and having poor products in general. So it's kind of a compounding problem.

    Politically India seemes racist, nationalist, and terrible on climate change. I'm from the USA so yes I know we are not great on these topics as well.

    Having been to India a few times from inside here it's what I've noticed in the country.

    The poverty and wealth gap between Indians and westerners means almost everybody wants money from you and to up charge you. From beggars, to chai vendors, to high end stores and hotels. They also love hidden fees and you have to be vigilant about details. This puts me on a constant tense alertness when dealing with people that gets very draining.

    I've also spent time with an indian family during holy. My western friend was dating a member of the family and we went for a visit. The family was very generous and welcoming. It was the only time in India when I was relaxed and able to chat and enjoy the company.

    Racism and classism abound. The ways different ethnic groups treat each other and try to force the use of their language on the other group. For example a Hindi and Malayalam language standoff when I was in Kerala.

    Or when at a store that sells stone art has two clearly miserable lower cast people working a human powered cutting tool for the tourists when you can hear the sound of high speed electric tools from the back room.

    Animals other then cows are treated horribly. Elephants in particular always looked miserable and broken.

    People with government jobs are arrogant and lazy. From customs and immigration to the national parks. I arrived 20 min before closing at a national park to buy tickets for a late night tour that was latter that evening. The ticket both was empty with one other person waiting. Two minutes before closing the guy came to the window in a towel because he had been showing before getting off work.

    The belief in crap science abounds. I got an ayurvedic massage that wasn't a very skilled massage and then the guy tried to give me medical advice. Several people tried to explain that the ayurvedic guys were just as good as doctors. On way out another of the ayurvedic "doctors" tried to sell me a medicine that he assured would remove belly fat and regrow hair. This from a fat bald man.

    The fiet time I was in India Modi had just won his first term as Prime Minister while I was there. There was a huge procession of angry young men yelling and pushing people out of the way. I assumed they were from the losing party. My driver informed me that no they had just won the election.

    It was clear that this wasn't a jubilant celebration of success. It was a angry group that now had the power to do what they wanted.

    I know i've been negative and there is a fair amount of nice things in India but they always are fleeting and overshadowed by something. In the multiple times i've been to India i've never had a bad meal and there are a lot of nice people. I just think they are constantly at odds with each other.

    The most Indian moment I had was drinking tea while enjoying the smell of the spice fields. Then the wind shifted and all I could smell was the stench of shit and diesel from the cesspool over the hill.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • Frequency folding is the term used in DSP no need for quotes. The Nyquist frequency is commonly referred to as the folding frequency.

    And yes frequencies above the Nyquist folding frequency alias into lower frequencies. A simple low pass filter prevents this however.

    Properly filtered digital sampling produced a more accurate reproduction of the frequency range with less distortion then an analog signal.

  • Florida just got its first LGBTQ+ Latino state senator
  • He is always furious. But this is what he wanted. The gerrymandered districts he forced through pushed a bunch of swing districts into comfortably R at the expense of some extremely D districts.

    So yeah it's great to see increased glbt representation (there is another gay senator) and latino representation but it's not because we are becoming more tolerant. It's because republicans have solidified control of the state legislature.

    I like Smith and am glad he won. But it's unfortunately the byproduct of losing one or two other democrat seats in the legislature. That's not Smith's fault it's the republicans fault.

    Mayor says rescue efforts continuing after cargo vessel hit Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending vehicles into the water

    Baltimore bridge collapse: at least six missing as Biden laments ‘terrible accident’

    A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

    At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

    “All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

    Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
