Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla's HQ. It's insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU's agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn't really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

Isn't the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court's jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I'm not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

To be fair, I'd be absolutely vibing in a room like this. Probably wouldn't help a panic attack though.

Lula's always been pretty good with calling out other people's bullshit around Latin America, it isn't particularly surprising that he'd do that (and the same applies to Biden). Shame that he doesn't have the courage to do the same with Russia though, even if that's more because Russia has held Brazil's agricultural market by the balls for a while now.

That's true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

I really don't see how supporting Manifest V3 is a problem. It's still going to be used by many extension developers, and there's no harm in its availability as long as you can still block WebRequest, which is currently the case. On the Mozilla taking Google's money point, sure, that's true, but it doesn't seem to have affected too much of the browser, other than search defaults abd a few other things that can be very easily turned off or removed entirely. I wouldn't say the chances are particularly high for Manifest V2 to be completely removed, personally.

Sounds like the person you're married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn't is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.

That it may well be, but it definitely falls on Cloudflare that they were able to take advantage of this for so long, and that the "unlimited traffic" was displayed as one of the perks in the Business plan (although I haven't seen any evidence that that was listed). The decision to charge $10k a month would seem fairer if they weren't insanely aggressive, and claimed there were violations of ToS where there don't seem to be any.

I wouldn't say that's particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn't really necessarily mean it's an echo chamber though, I've seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don't see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?
