Which version are you on, out of curiosity? Wondering if you might be on an earlier version that hasn’t updated yet or if they might be doing A/B testing or something.

It takes up space on the screen, which I know for some folks makes it a worthless/intrusive addition. IIRC it was also the case early on in the nightly builds that there was no way to turn it off either, which bothered people as well.

Everyone has “modes” they get used to using their apps with (and I am no exception in that regard, which is why I am here with this question in the first place), and when something new is added which disrupts someone’s usual mode, that causes friction and a negative impression.

I know my experience is niche, being that I am a relatively newer Firefox mobile user who liked having that feature precisely because it more closely resembled the non-Firefox experience that was more familiar to me. So to an extent, I understand this decision that was made to avoid alienating the core user, even if that means potentially dissatisfying fringe users like myself. I also can’t complain because this is the nightly build, where things change on a whim and there are no guarantees that any feature makes the cut (I would have been on stable build if this feature existed in the stable build at all).

Not to mention that Mozilla also isn’t rolling in cash, especially with their future income model uncertain as the US government continues to go after Google’s partner agreements that are currently propping Mozilla up, so they have to make difficult decisions about which features to spend time and resources supporting and which to cut.

But it still stinks, y’know?

This “news” site appears to be artificially promoted using vote manipulation:

I think it’s unfair to say that the US is what dictates the direction and usage of the English language. It contributed, sure, but it’s not because of the US that English is so widely-spoken in the first place. We have Britain to thank for that.

If the US ever adopts a second language to use for trade, it will be Spanish, just by virtue of who its neighbors are and how many native Spanish speakers live in the US already.

It’s basically a reflection of global power. Before English had that standard in Europe, it was French. We still describe such languages as a “lingua franca” even in contexts where that lingua isn’t franca anymore.

Esperanto isn’t anyone’s native language by design, but it meant that there was no major global power which necessitated its use. So it fell by the wayside, which is why English is spoken around the world instead despite being such a poorly-constructed option.

Ori is very good.

Would recommend playing Ori and the Blind Forest before Will of the Wisps though, the plot might seem a bit confusing if you don’t.

Even then, though, this shit doesn’t fly here.

Shouldn’t have happened at all, but at least the hotel fired the shitfucker and tried to make this right, while in other parts of the country this behavior would have been celebrated.

Why do I have a feeling the administration would still try to find ways to not pay nonwhite families having kids?

Trump was propped up by people who believe this bogus “Great Replacement” theory and I don’t think they would be willing to back down from that stance on account of a generally declining population.

Right, I just mean the concept of “courtship” (if broken down to the basic concept of starting a long-term romantic relationship) has evolved to the point that it is dated to even refer to dating as “courtship” anymore. I would take any dating advice from someone considerably older with a hefty grain of salt. Sex is human nature, but dating is a constantly-evolving system of social norms that most people won’t experience outside of their own generation.

Davel’s here, though.

At first I was like “Why would anyone want to change OoT’s art and mess with perfection?”, but I do have to admit that I have really been craving a modern Zelda game in the vein of the N64 releases, which is a formula they haven’t touched since Skyward Sword in 2011. And Oblivion just recently showed me that sometimes a new coat of paint really is all you need.

Wind Waker at least is a game that (visually) aged very gracefully and I think can still stand against newer games even now, but I’ve played it to death and just wish we had something new.

Also not to discredit BotW/TotK or anything, I think they are still great games and I also really enjoyed them, but they’re just built different. Zelda is now a franchise of 3 distinct styles, but only two of them (2D and open world) are still getting new releases.

I dunno, this may just be my own sensibilities clouding reality, but I don’t think the “onus” should be on anyone.

The process of “courtship”, if you want to call it that, is definitely something that has changed dramatically between generations.

Your parents never had to bother with things like a woman specifying a time to “debut”, meeting with suitors under the supervision of an elder, the taboo of an unmarried couple being alone before marriage, the obligation for a woman’s family to put together a dowry, etc.

I mean, women in most of the west have only had political agency for just shy of 100 years, and even less than that as “equal” members of the workforce. Social dynamics have radically changed over the past several generations, and are continuing to change even now.

There was some indeterminate point in western society when advice like “You know what would really win her over? Duel her most eligible suitor” universally stopped being good advice, and the same is happening today with many of the dating strategies our parents grew up with.

I do want to be sympathetic, but I have to be honest in that this seems like incel rhetoric to me.

Women are under no obligation to accept the advances of any random person in public, and framing that as a “them” problem is super disrespectful.

This is the video I didn’t know I was looking for in life.

I’ve been very into Zelda rando stuff lately, but the mod support shown here just seems above and beyond what I’ve seen so far from my limited experience with Ship/2Ship.

Elon Musk is definitely the kind of person to look at Rapture and think “Hey that looks like a great idea” while missing the point entirely.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I had thought Ship was decompiling and recompiling it into its own package, but what you describe makes more sense.

Is this similar to the Ship of Harkinian recompiles, just as a different project?

What, you don’t remember that part of the Bible?

Mozilla 11:28 - “Come to me, all of you who have 87 tabs open, and I will give you grouping.”

I have to imagine competing with a de-Googled Chrome is also a concern. I wouldn’t think this apples to the majority of users, but a lot of people currently using Firefox today are only doing so because of a dislike of Google (and Microsoft), who might be willing to go back to a responsibly managed/truly FOSS Chrome.
