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"
  • At home, I use PiHole and AdGuard to block ads. I also use Firefox on my desktop with ublock origin plugin. Sites do break sometimes. But here's my thinking. If a site is using or forcing an ad in such a way that the site is broken for me, I go to another site. That one didn't deserve my time or business. My bank website works just fine. So does the power company, gas, etc. The important stuff is fine. The rest has competition.

    I will note that my auto insurance website broke between an email link, the trackers in said link and the website. I messaged their IT dept in a complaint form and they said they would change how the email system tracker works to prevent that in the future.

  • Am I being targetted?
  • hired a new guy and gave it to him

    That is your answer to this entire scenario. That's what they think of you and I'd take it as an invitation to find a new job. Hopefully you'll find a better fit. Currently, it sounds like things are good enough that they'd be a decent reference for your next job.

  • Adobe's Employees Are Just As Upset at the Company As Its Users: Report
  • I want to point out, because I see this chart or something like it a lot. Adobe has an absolute monopoly in the professional design space. None of these programs can remotely come close to the creative suite if you're doing more than tinkering. If you're making memes or doing some personal image manipulation, you can get by with GIMP or something. If you're creating professional art or creating files for print or publication, you need Adobe. It's scary that one corporation holds so much sway over an entire industry but they definitely do.

  • A second Trump term would double down on erasing trans rights. Here’s how advocates are preparing.
  • Some of these articles don't seem to get it. Another Trump term potentially removes all rights for many of us. Trans people won't have to worry about healthcare, bigotry, bathrooms, or anything else that they're facing. They will have to hide who they are or risk being rounded up or killed. It will be open season on women, liberals, feminists, atheists, satanists, muslims, people with dark skin or foreign sounding names. Rights don't matter in a dictatorship. There's only fighting or submitting.

  • i have plans beyond your comprehension
  • Then this must be embarrassing for y'all. Do we have gross processed cheese? Yeah, we do. Do we also make fantastic cheese? Yeah, we make a lot of it. Do we make shit beer? Absolutely. Do we also make some of the best beers in the world? Yeah, we make a fuckton of great beer. I get stereotypes and most of them are funny. The Brits conquering the world for spices and then using none of it in their food. Yeah, there is some truth to that but I do know that you can get some amazing food in the UK. Curry shops are super popular because the lack of spice thing isn't really true for all. Do you understand the same thing about the US or is your ire carrying past reality?

  • How come no true use for recent AI developments has been found yet?
  • I'm not sure it's going to be that. That was the model for the last wave of tech advancement layoffs and job replacements. This one is going to be so much dumber.

    It's no secret that most companies are stagnant or losing money right now across the board. For many reasons, disposable income is way down, COVID mentality change (people decided they wanted to live instead of just consume), and products have just been getting worse. So, CEOs are using AI to replace jobs that AI cannot yet replace. It immediately makes their bottom line look better for investors while doing nothing useful. This will bite them in the ass soon but they'll say AI was oversold and it's not their fault. Meanwhile, they look like the nothing they're doing to improve their company is working and will survive another day.
