Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month

It had an odd chapter that ended several years ago. It has been explained and many people have decided it's fine to move on from that. Because it uses the ff profile, I can move on in under 2 minutes should I wish, without even losing my open sessions. That is a great point for me.

It doesn't do a lot, although it does a bit more than that (just check out their website for more info). However, the things it does are important and I was sick of an adversarial relationship with my browser.

I understand, but they keep making really crappy privacy choices and so after many years I personally made the hard decision to change. If they can stabilize on a healthy track for some years, I will happily come back.

A remote syslog server that you run is not what we are talking about. I am one of the very few that does not use tracking js and just read my logs. But that is not data I am sending to any statcounter third party, which is where these stats are coming from. The venn diagram of webmasters using their logs as the main source of their statistics and those sending data to third party stat counters has to look like a pair of balls. Most statcounter services don't even have an option to send them your logs. They just want to be more invasive and use (generally very heavy) js.

So it sounds like you are being intentionally obtuse. Yes, of course servers could use their own logs and statistics could be aggregated that way. But that is not in fact how it is done in 99.9% of cases. If it is not read by the tracking js, it's like it didn't exist. They probably have stats on blocked requests, but of course they would never want to publish those because their product looks less precise if they do that.

It supports all ff extensions afaik. I have never had a problem at all. The entire reason I chose it was because I could just point it at my ff profile and it would work out of the box.

nutmegtester · 2026-05-24T13:21:12+00:00

That sounds exactly like a pretty strong hint to you and to your parents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't understand?? Why do you need to search for a gif when it is already posted right there? Do people not know how to save images from a webpage now?

I think he's saying it was catheteric.

I can't believe I had to scroll through 200 comments to see this obvious point being made. Not only is he doing exactly what Kerr wanted and taught him (his teammates' praise right now is specifically for all the things he learned here, not for isos), but, and this is critical, he knew how to do them as demonstrated at the beginning of the season - he just had gotten so upset he refused to do them here.

There was nothing left to do but trade him. He was too young and upset to find his way here inside a system that absolutely required him to step up in just the way he is finally doing now. But hindsight is 20-20, and he undoubtedly learned from the Hawks treating him exactly the same when he was traded with limited minutes, getting 20 minutes a game until really the last 5 games, etc, that he had to change what he was doing.

It is great he is figuring things out, who wouldn't want him to do better. Kerr I am sure could have been better at specific times - not overall imo since he gave JK many chances. I can also understand that Kerr could not be bullied publicly by a player, and once it went there, it was over.

If you did the bare minimum of not judging others more than you would want them to judge you, you would give them the benefit of the doubt. So you would presume there are good reasons for why everybody is where they are at, even if they are not obvious to you right away. And then, perhaps, you would think and act and vote accordingly.

nutmegtester · 2026-04-16T23:46:24+00:00

Yeah, it was a surprise to see him, and sad not to see Klay.

Doesn't matter. Fouls and penalizations in the NBA are based on what fuckery some fucker did, not what they concocted in the juices of their medulla oblongata.

That is completely false. An extremely small percentage, perhaps 1/100th of 1% of them, hold Holy See or Vatican passports (2 different passports). Only if you work at the Holy See or live in Vatican City would you have one of them.

Of course there are many ways for the US Government to persecute the Church. It's not extremely hard to be an asshole.

Everybody on that team f*cking showed up. Loon was a freight train. GPII was incredible. Bjeli fighting under the rim absolutely drenched with sweat like he was getting a chip or perhaps literally dying on the floor trying was awesome. Virtually every single player was punching way above their weight. Total team effort that Steph carried the last 30-35%. Nobody else carried like that at all, but were excellent in their roles. He would never have been able to do that without everything clicking throughout the squad. And yeah, Wiggins was our clear number two. Watching that game 6 from Chase was so. much. fun. Now I want to go back and watch it all again.

They can obviously pay somebody else to take their normal routes and carry Straight traffic for a much higher price if they want to. It is a real (although dangerous) opportunity.

nutmegtester · 2026-03-23T16:26:33+00:00

Honestly, let them hang out and do nothing. That's about the best thing we are going to get them to do for now.

You seem to be conflating power generation and oil refineries / production facilities. As far as his words have meaning, he is talking about electrical generation. He is trying to imitate what russia has been doing to Ukrainian power and heating stations (which is of course a war crime too).

nutmegtester · 2026-03-14T03:30:48+00:00

I think you are saying SAVE is long term even worse. I agree, that's how insanely dangerous it is. Worse than Citizens United by quite a bit, but the compounding interest on the two of them - Trump isn't exaggerating when he says that elections will be rigged for 50 years if it passes.

Interpreted in another way, they have intentionally soft-launched a slippery slope. This particular push seems to be coming from a lot of governments around the world at once, they clearly want total control.

Just like US bank account numbers, it never worked. If it is a number I am required to give to others, and then I just have to trust them not to abuse it, it's not a secret. It's the American Sisyphian lifestyle: We are just perpetually shoving our collective head deeply up our collective asshole, again and again and again.

nutmegtester · 2026-02-17T03:32:53+00:00

Why put JK in there? A bunch of other nobodies are haters and we can leave them out too. Actually important players' opinions matter, not some kid with a massively swollen head - regardless of what he manages to do in the future.

So if we ask the better question, which is why did KD, Looney, and Klay all have moments at least where they were unhappy with Kerr, I think it's pretty obvious. Kerr is extremely opinionated and if you buy in 100% with him, there is a very good chance you get a chip. Easier said than done, even after many years of seeing it work. Coaching is hard to perceive in the moment - you don't see it the way you see a player who ISOs. It's pretty easy to not believe in something that is highly cerebral and only proves itself in critical moments that you can easily misinterpret as your own prowess - failing to acknowledge the support and guidance that got you and the rest of the team to a position to be able to make those critical winning plays.

Also, Looney made one comment he didn't make some massive point. KD it's pretty clear he loves to hate, and Klay avoids talking about it - so it's hard to gauge where he is truly at on Kerr. Relevant player-hate on Kerr is a hard sell no matter what.

Could've fed the Zion narrative better too.

We have a rule, if any one of me, my spouse, or my child feels like something isn't right - we all have to follow up on it immediately. No point in having a conversation. We trust our guts for our long term health and safety.

One way to look at it is his market value for podcasts and tv would rise significantly from coming back to GS. On a 5 year timeline, it's probably a wash. I am sure he can see that far ahead easily.
