How is this real https://t.co/1TVm0ZbK5g

Not only is it real, I watched this episode when it first aired — because my dad loved the show. Even I thought it was absolutely absurd at the time, and I was seven years old.
So that tells you just how terrible it is.
To this day, only around 10% of the Firefox extensions that I formerly used function. There are no replacements.
That means for me, the browser is about 90% less functional than it was three years ago. There are so many, many things that I can’t do now and what I can do takes 2-10x as much time.
Why did we have to design everything for fucking morons? Firefox’s motto should be, “Designed by fucking morons for fucking morons.”

The momentum is running out, but in many ways we’re still coasting on things done in the 1930s. Many of our parks, protected lands, artistic institutions, even scientific discoveries and technologies, depend directly on the New Deal or the ethos that it instilled.
All over and done, and now we are entering the consequences phase.
