  • This is absurd.

    This is like saying that if nazi propaganda becomes the main selling point of web browsers, then firefox should add it just to stay relevant.

    The advantage of firefox is (was) that it takes a stance instead of blindly following market trends. Following AI, no matter how immoral and damaging it is, just to avoid a hypothetical loss, is absolute bullshit.

    They are doing it because they lost the will to take a stance, and this is what is killing them. Straying away from the opensouce, privacy centric stance is costing them their user base, and people who weren’t wanting such a stance are not going to move away from their usual browser with AI and whatever.

    It’s exactly the thing that leftist parties do when they try to appeal to the nazis, they just get buried in their own stupidity.

    Why do you think firefox-based browsers are getting more and more popular? It’s because they bring back firefox where it should be, because no one with enough brain to want to use firefox, wants a firefox with data collection and AI slop.










  • But this was long established.

    It feels like the point is simply to make “good citizens” scared because they didn’t find it a problem as long as the ones being horribly treated were filthy immigrants.

    But it confirms the idea that whether the victim is a “citizen” or not is an important point, implying that torturing people is fine as long as they don’t have the right papers. I cannot really accept something like that.

    If you replace “deports” by “shoots in the face”, suddenly most people would think that being a citizen is irrelevant, but because this torture/deportation thing is less " obvious" people delude themselves into tolerating it, as long as they don’t personally feel threatened.
