TropicalDingdong , to Texas in Texas Republicans Call For Execution of Women Who Receive Abortions, IVF In Horrifying Video

Those downvotes you are recieving: they are the point of all of those Disney and Marvel movies. The good guys win, don’t worry about it. If you just ‘do the right thing’ things will turn out ok. The system works. Justice exists and is inevitable.

It never occurs to them that people have been voting this entire time and the result of that is what we have. Voting isn’t enough, its not enough, and its not clear it has any real impact whatsoever. If all voting gets you is delay and Joe Biden, what then? Its always the same tired “Vote Harder”, “Vote Blue No Matter Who” line of crapola, a line of crapola those espousing don’t really have a critical assessment of. They don’t really have an answer for systematic change, or answers for when institutions like the DNC decide that your vote just shouldn’t matter, as in New Hampshire, or the 2016 primary?

The fact is voting isn’t working and it hasn’t worked since the Supreme Court overturned the 2000 election of Bush V Gore. These strategies aren’t working. If “voting harder” worked, we wouldn’t be here right now. But these debutantes who think they know shit and are clicking the down button can’t imagine another way. So the react, in the same reactionary way the right wing does.

I mean thats what did this, without a doubt.

However, at this point, you need to reinforce the guts. Gluing and pinning are not going to be enough.

Tell me you have no fucking clue about the contents of the constitution or the concept of rule of law without telling me you have no fucking clue about the contents of the constitution or the concept of rule of law.

soft close would hurt but when mine failed, it was the weight of the crap warping the structure of the drawer that stressed the joins ultimately leading to failure. Effectively bowing it out from the inside.

“AI” has been used for many things for many years. The fact that the news is full of machine learning and generative AI doesn’t mean that it’s sensible to condemn anything using it.

Maybe you should move onto Edge. I hear they are big on AI in the browser.

Regardless of what you do to fix the drawer, consider that its the weight of what you’ve got in the drawer that caused the failure. Consider either reinforcing the underside, and or waxing or lubing whatever the roller or mounting hardware is. The heavy weight causing drag is ultimately why this failed (along with it just being cheap as shit particle board).

When I’ve had this issue in the past, I’ve gone ahead and replaced and reinforced the whole thing with 1/4th inch plywood. You can run two dados up the face board and then run the plywood into those, then pin nail and glue.

This is basically saying that states supersede the federal government on border policy, which is patently absurd. You either believe in the rule of law or you don’t. You don’t get to have it both ways. The conversation justices in this case are complete buffoons.

So basically, if Democrats are in office, the Supreme Court has determined the Administrative authority no longer has administrative authority.

Got it.

Its absolutely not my job to protect Firefox from its self.

They are the ones who made the announcement and I could give two wiffs of stinky piss about their image. I only care if they make a good product that serves my needs. The microsecond their product ceases to to be a 'good' product from my personal viewpoint, I'm dropping them and calling them out on it. They've got the best browser in the game rn (imo). Its their game to lose but it looks like they are starting to make some dumb ass choices.

Corporate cheer leading is for sycophants.

Any where? Its a browser not a religion.

You miss the point. This takes away from them actually building and maintaining a browser. If they want to do this as a plug in or something, that's fine. I do not want it and am not interested in anything AI related being built into the browser. Its that toxic, VC mindset around everything having to be everything and following the hype of the moment. Its dumb and the announcement was a redflag warning.

If they want to build extensions that do those things, I fully support them.

I don't need or want my engineering team building my browser doing things other than building my browser. I want them working on the browser. I need AI I didn't ask for in my browser like I need an additional hole in my head.

I want my browser to be a browser and if Firefox isn't focused on just building a great browser, I'm leaving.

The second they start sticking AI bloat in Firefox, I'm out.

That’s like, maybe 1 mid tier thermal unit.

FLIRs practical monopoly is annoying.
