lol.

What in the history of electronic entertainment makes you think that they're done with doing the shitty thing now that they stopped doing it once?

Can I ask what I'm sure everyone is thinking, how are any of those things improved by being tiny?

You're talking about American presidential candidates?

Why would you feel better about the USA when the USA are who have fostered, enabled and defended these attitudes for 70 years now?

The Hobbit ends in a massive battle that seemed made for TV, but Bilbo gets a bonk on the head. I'm sure people don't need to hear about the ebb and flow of the battle. Have King Stannis host a feast afterwards and the few characters left alive can trade highlight stories.

Martin was mostly a Sci Fi author before ASOIAF. Still is, seemingly.

The fediverse also costs someone money to run. If you want to set up a fediverse dating app and have everyone's likes and kinks mirrored to dozens of servers run by people with almost no obligation to keep it private, good luck

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome's, despite Firefox's being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser "just the way I like it" found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.

The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

Firefox breaks...

(Long unnecessary nonsense that isn't applicable to anyone else)

Maybe our developers should make our tools more standard-compliant

lol. So who broke it?
