>Firefox has nothing

Not only that, but for a time, Firefox seemed to be copying everything Chrome did, maybe as a way to stop the exodus of users. But people who wanted Chrome-y things were already using it, and people who didn't might as well, because Firefox was becoming indistinguishable from it.

God I wish Mozilla would be made great again. It's tragic how mismanaged it is.


There is no dark side of the moon really

Matter of fact, it's all dark

*heartbeats*



Fair enough.

But, there's a chance this might happen though!


That site absolutely murders my CPU by... drawing vector graphics. This one displays basically the same info and is made by someone competent: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/

Its the opposite for me. NASA site is unusable for me in Firefox while above one works without hitch.

This is an entire Unity project that won't load due to however many content blockers I've got running on my phone. The incompetent one loads instantly, though it's admittedly laggy.

It would be nice if DDG made even a token attempt at making their search not shit. I still use it, but mostly out of habit and because I suspect every alternative is also shit.

>Stop using Google

I've been using DuckDuckGo for years now, but their search results have now become so terrible, it's nearly unusable. And I have to "quote" every word, otherwise it just randomly omits it from search for no reason. Honestly it's so bad I wonder if all the developers left, and the site is just coasting along.

Maybe I'll try Kagi, but it's not something I can pitch to normies.


Franks diary was edited, both by herself and later publishers.

Some argue that her father’s editing was detrimental, that it removed some of her voice and her experience. I think there’s something to editing out the more… problematic parts of a pubescent child’s diary. I would have been mortified if my thoughts of that nature were published, and the censorship allowed the diary to reach a more broad audience in e.g. grade schools. But at the same time, I do understand the wish to see the full, authentic story.

By her father, not herself. She sort of died before she had an opportunity to edit her writings for publication.

> But the manuscript that Otto Frank pitched to Dutch editors didn’t contain his daughter’s entire diary. Anne herself had begun editing large swathes of her diary with publication in mind after hearing a radio broadcast that called on Dutch people to preserve diaries and other war documents. Otto respected some of those editorial decisions, but overlooked others ­– for example, he included material about Anne’s crush on annexe dweller Peter van Pels.

> Frank’s candid words on sex didn’t make it into the first published diary, which appeared in English in 1952. Though Anne herself edited her diary with an eye to publication, the book—released eight years after her death from typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 15—contained additional cuts. These were only partially restored in 1986, when a critical edition of her diary was published. Then, in 1995, an even less censored version, including a passage on Frank’s own body previously withheld by her father, was published.

> In response to Minister Bolkestein's appeal on 28 March 1944 on Radio Oranje to keep wartime diaries and letters, Anne Frank decided to rewrite her diary into a novel: "Imagine how interesting it would be if I published a novel of the Secret Annex, from the title alone people would think it was a detective novel."

> Anne rewrote and edited her diary on loose sheets of duplicator paper. On Saturday 20 May 1944, she wrote: "Dear Kitty, At last after much contemplation I have begun my 'the Secret Annex', in my head it is already as finished as it can be, but in reality it will be a lot slower, if it ever gets finished at all." Anne's rewritten version, known as Version B, ends with the diary entry of 29 March 1944.


Thank you, I remember reading this background as well.

There is no 'unedited' version of Anne's diary, as Anne herself intentionally edited and re-edited her work during her time in the Annex. A remarkable young woman. What was published to readers are various versions that have additionally been further somewhat edited by others and in places censored, with the trend being towards gradually less censorship over time.


Sure, it was edited. The point is, there exist those of us who have desire to read the unedited version.

No. CD audio is 1,4 mbit. Even increasing the temporal and spatial resolution beyond that, which is audiophile nonsense, will never even approach USB 2 speeds.

I've lived in this apartment for about a year and a half. It took me until last week to put up lights over the stairs. I've been walking on the stairs in the dark, some times using my phone as a light.

I'm an electrician.


Physician, heal thyself. The cobbler's children have no shoes.

Also "ICE separate[s] families" is such a ridiculous mischaracterization it makes me question all their other arguments.

> ICE separate[s] families" is such a ridiculous mischaracterization

It's accurate. They do separate families. How or why doesn't matter, the fact stands in its own. It's not a "mischaracterization", it's a fact.


If context is irrelevant then every country in Europe already separates families, and thus how can this be a complaint?

Believe it or not, it's possible for more than one person or entity to do something. I know, it's really incredible to think about! John and Bill can both scam Elizabeth, even though they live in different countries!

But apparently I can't complain because they're both criminals and I can only complain about one! It says in the rulebook!


I'm not sure you've quite understood the conversation.

I'm not sure you understand what an objective truth is, so anything else is really irrelevant.

So do the police/courts if your dad goes to jail. It's incidental to their purpose.

"The purpose of a system is what it does"

So... what exactly is your argument here? The children of a man who is convicted and sent to prison should also go to prison, so as to avoid separation? Or that we just don't send men to prison if they have children?
