Interesting that the same people who think “blacklist” must be deprecated because it has some sort of causal connection to racism also think literal robbery and destruction should go unpunished

I have to admit, that is a mite peculiar.

This extension allows you to find and use most of the old, working extensions (that used XUL/XPCOM) that have been removed from the Firefox add-on site by the utter fucking idiot assclown numpty dipshits at Mozilla.

Install it, click the button, find software that actually works. Note that you must be using an older version of Firefox, Waterfox, Pale Moon, etc. (Back when browsers actually did what the user wanted rather than what corporations want.)

Glad this made the “best scenes” list.

I just have to gush about this opening again. The blocking, the patter, the delivery, the extras and their naturalness, the slightly otherworldly feel while still being perfectly uncontrived and organic at the same time — lord, that’s some feat of filmmaking right there.

That might be my favorite opening 15 minutes of any film I’ve seen in two decades. It’s just so incredibly good and fearless and smart. It demands a lot of the viewer but it also really pays off. Just so lovely, bold, and feels like you are dropped right into real lives and an actual functioning world, rather than observing some actors standing around a stage reciting lines and filling in backstory, as most films feel (even some good ones).

It was a really cool and fun time when the internet was relatively new, computers were still under user control, browsers worked correctly, and I didn’t have to battle to have even a tiny smidgen of control over what I can see, what I can do, and what I can know.

It was a better world, now lost forever. And it was and is all of our faults.
