getting people fired for their opinions is how we sell ourselves the idea that our opinions matter worth a rat’s ass

Expect much more of this, because it’s how we generate meaning from nothing given the absence of any other form of viable meaning-making.
The only feature I care about on a phone is that it has Google Maps or a similar program. It’s the only app I use and the only one I will likely ever use on a phone. The rest are worthless garbage that work far better on anything with a larger screen.
If someone would make a flip phone that has Google Maps and a headphone jack, I’d pay up to a grand for that.
When liberals hear “socially constructed” I think they hear “changeable on a whim” and “reasonlessly capricious” whereas I understand how the entire weight of history and inculcation obstructs their easily-imagined alterations and rearrangements of a cultural imperative.
Relatedly, when liberals hear “genetic” I think they imagine that anyone who says that means “eugenics, exterminate all the undesirables immediately” and they also have some sort of idea that anything genetic is ever-ineluctable and cannot be altered by any means at all.
In reality, it’s probably easier to mitigate, alter, or re-direct most genetic human tendencies (though not all) while it’s much harder to change culture.
As usual, they have everything exactly backwards.
With Google’s decision to de facto kill ad blocking in Chrome, if Mozilla hadn’t been so utterly and completely clueless about their Firefox’s greatest strengths they would now be in a position to rule the browser market once gain.
Due to Mozilla’s contempt toward their product-differentiating add-on ecosystem and their utter arrogant disregard of their best proponents and advocates, they will deservedly remain an also-ran and decline into irrelevance despite being offered this perfect opportunity for a resurgence — had they not made a string of poor decisions stretching back many years.
If I’d been the Mozilla CEO, market share would’ve never dipped below 25%, and we’d now be in a position to really batter Chrome. With the past and current leadership, that did not and now will never happen. Utter fools.
This guy is usually smarter than this. I can’t believe the extreme naïveté here.
I’m reason behind several news stories on Chrome’s problems with extension security, and have lauded Chrome for pushing through innovations despite developer backlash, but I’m concerned their change with APIs used by adblockers has not been adequately explained to public.

So you think that Google wants to mostly-negate ad-blocking because of security? Yeah, right, and I want to fill my bank account up because I really love how zeroes look. Makes total sense.
If you assume the good faith of a large corporation, you will almost certainly be wrong about 99.99% of the time. Why assume Google’s good faith here? When would you ever have been correct about that?
It’s amazing that someone can work in the IT field for so long and still be so clueless about so much. How does that happen? How does it keep happening?
So, who’s cancelled today? Oh wait, I don’t give a crap because I refuse to pay any attention to liberal virtue signaling in the service of ego, vanity and moral preening.
