I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • I never fully did, but I did end up using Chromium more than I wanted to:

    1. Some poorly written sites refuse to work with FF. My water company, for example. They eventually fixed it after I complained multiple times. Now they display a warning that it’s “Optimized for Chrome” but no longer flat out prevent FF from logging in (you know, to pay bills and such).
    2. FF Desktop still doesn’t support PWAs, and their recent update says they’re working on it, but they’re half-assing it (installed web apps will still have the menu bars, address, bar etc). I self-host a lot of web applications and want them to appear like native apps. Hence, Chromium.
    3. There was some recent ToS / Privacy Policy change, and everyone was knee-jerking “time to abandon Firefox” as if there’s anywhere better to go. (This is probably what you’re thinking of)
    4. A good while back, Chrom(ium) was just flat-out faster. That’s been a while, and I think when FF’s “Quantum” update (or whatever it was called) came out in like 2016 or 2017, it put it back on par.

  • I don’t see any threads recently nuked in News, and no recent modlog entries for you specifically (except an old one from 6 months ago where you called someone a pedo, and nope, I’m not digging up a slapfight thread that starts/ends there). You might also want to clarify which “news” community; I was only looking at the modlog within the last hour as described in the post here.

    The post I think you’re talking about, “Cocaine ‘no worse than whiskey,’ would be ‘sold like wine’ if legalized worldwide, Colombia’s president says” was removed because it was old news (rule 5: Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days). That’s a long-established community rule, and it was properly enforced.

    The only comment I see removed in c/News in the last hour isn’t from that post or by you, and was removed for “What the fuck?”. Considering the comment in question is:

    NSFL

    She was enjoying the dead babies a bit too much

    …I think the mod made the right call.

    Edit: Put quoted removed comment into spoiler tag with NSFL warning.
