  • My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for

    Most of those new features are absolutely amazing, like the instant translation of almost any page,
    Creating tags for images that don’t have them for blind people, is an amazing feature for blind people.
    If you don’t like them you don’t have to use them. You don’t get to dictate that others shouldn’t have them on false accusations.
    Some of us like a feature-full high quality browser, that respect our privacy.

    their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain,

    OK and which functions are that?
    You’re just riding the AI hate train and think that’s the default correct position. And sometimes it is, but not in this case.
    And guess again, because Mozilla is actually using AI for things that are both useful and noninvasive.
    So why don’t you piss off and go use a terminal browser instead if that’s what you want.
    Alternatively there are a lot of decent open source browsers you can use, that don’t have the advanced features of Firefox.







  • Except it’s not, all the complaints about Firefox are moronic, none of them have any merit.
    Don’t fall for the false propaganda or morons who think they found a problem when they have no understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
    I’ve seen dozens of claims about bad things Mozilla does, and every time I investigate the issue, it turns out there is nothing there, or at most some sort of misunderstanding that is blown out of proportions.

    You can dislike Firefox as much as you want as a use case. But Firefox is still 100% above board with everything they do, there are zero shenanigans, but there is insane propaganda against them.

    Firefox has some crazy cool new functions IMO, and they are generally completely non invasive.






  • a cap on wealth is necessary for social cohesion.

    Billionaires are undermining democracy, which already is a huge problem and against the values of a country that wants to be democratic.
    Yes most billionaires end up wackos, which makes it even worse that they have so much power.
    IMO you can add an extra zero to the decimal places to make it 300 million. 1 billion is IMO already to much.
    But I wouldn’t make it a hard limit, just incrementally bigger tax percentage the higher you get.



  • I think that’s a wise choice, Denmark is not perfect, but at least we are considerate to Greenland as an independent self governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, that consist of Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Island.
    Greenland is not treated as a minority population of Denmark, but as an independent population with a right to self determination over themselves as a people and Greenland as their country.
    They are also allowed AFAIK even guaranteed complete sovereignty if and when they want, but they are dependent on economic aid from Denmark, and Denmark has the standpoint that they can’t have both, which IMO is fair.
    By what logic should we give them money if they are not part of the kingdom?

    Greenland also has 2 members in the parliament of Denmark, which reflect the size of their population proportionally. Faroe Islands has the same. So they are both an equal part of our democracy with proportional representation.
