they've been allowed to do whatever they want for so long they stopped trying to properly hide it very long ago.

now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic

excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you're talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers....), where are the Ds deciding they don't like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people's pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.

This could have been an internet search engine job, literally just type "define cognitive dissonance" and it will be explained. Why do we need an entire post for this??

Seriously.... Who gives a fuck if a good thing is being done because it makes someone money vs making someone happy? At the end of the day, the good thing happened. That's a win. We live in a capitalist society, this should be a very common concept good or not.

Like seriously, who gives a shit if rainbow capitalism was for making money? It absolutely helped at least some (if not many) people feel seen and accepted.

"I would take this vaccine but someone created it because it would make them money so I'm critical"

In what world does that make sense??? As long as you understand WHY they do what they do (thus keeping yourself from being convinced they actually do care lmao), then its all good and take advantage of the good thing as it happens.

the kids are busy getting their politics from tiktok lmao ain't no way they understand what's happening let alone why in relation to what has come before

Brave = chromium, ain't no fuckin way Brave performs better than Firefox or Waterfox

Every single anti-Mozilla post OP has posted recently (I've seen 4 of them just today in my feed) is extremely misleading. Strange pattern...

OP, can we fuck off with the Mozilla hate? How much is Google paying you to cry?

You're absolutely right, I checked all of the Mozilla hate posts I commented on today and they are all posted by OP (101@feddit.org)

270 active users for a mastodon instance

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like "I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads", like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol

this post is about Stein and the Green party, nobody asked for your literal whataboutism. Shows just how effective geekwithsoul's comment is that you couldn't muster a single word in response and instead turned to "b-b-b-but democrats!!!!!!"

That last sentence with 'blue maga' says everything about what you support, no surprise all you have are whatabouts.

how many Ds have eaten with Putin personally btw?

According to various sources, Ukraine attacked an ammunition depot in the city of Toropets of Tver region, with more than 100 UAVs last night. The explosion occurred in an area where "Tochka-U" and "Iskander" missile systems were located. Residents are being relocated to the neighboring town of Western Dvina, where kindergartens and schools have also been shut down.

I've also heard that the losses may potentially also include S300 missiles, grad rockets, and the recently delivered Iranian SRBMs

Bulgakov noted that the full load of each storage facility is up to 240 tons, and met "the highest world standards".

damn gab still exists??

This is just AI fear mongering. There is no meme here.

the underlying purpose to AI

Say no more, nothing valuable can follow this set up.

Like seriously, are we to believe that AIs purpose of existence is just one singular thing?? You could say the almost or not the same bullshit about computers or even machines in general or anything else that shifts the dynamic of where labor is needed.

“AI only exists so wealth can steal from you!!!!!” It’s like those lies people would throw around to create fear like fascists do with minority groups.

Like bro, the wealthy are already stealing from us this doesn’t move the needle a cm. At the same time AI can be a huge help to disabled and elderly, how does that fit into the ultimate purpose of the wealthy removing skilled workers access to wealth.

This shit is a fever dream of weird propaganda

I wouldn’t say wrong do much as call them shared experiences that are not unique to adhd

HAHAHAHAHAH no. Google Search has gotten so much worse in the last couple of YEARS more like.

The reason behind this is not a bug but a feature. Google wants the trip from search to result to take longer as they can show you more ads that way.

Waking up everyday wondering what batshit crazy thing he had either just said or was going to say that day. It was exhausting.

For you? Yeah it was exhausting, you poor piece of shit. For the media? It was the best goddamn four years of their lives. Every morning the people would rush to see what insane shit he did that day and the news media farmed the FUCK outta them clicks.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.

“Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

• Leslie Moonves CBS CEO at the time

They desperately want to drag us back

First off, keep in mind the post we're all responding to is trying to use these listings to paint the entire focus/future of this company with a single brushstroke, as that is relevant context.

I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads

that statement right there.

Basically at least 1/3 of the jobs they’re advertising that have a specific team mentioned are AI or ads jobs.

oh, but they had 9 open listings for AI!!!!!! THat's a THIRD of the cOmPaNy's listings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you not aware of how big Mozilla is? https://leadiq.com/c/mozilla/5a1d88fe2400002400628c85/employee-directory

N. America: 1.5k Asia: 468 Europe: 378 Africa: 86 South Africa:44 Oceania: 25

That alone shows how insane this take is. Mozilla dipping their toes into the water with a handful of roles doesn't mean mozilla is focused on it alone (or even at all!). Secondly, there is a lot of value that can be taken from AI (both server and client-side), without even touching the subject of generating images/video/text/etc. Things like auto-transcriptions, summaries for the seeing impaired, etc.

But then we get these posts essentially fear mongering any perceived interest as slight as it may be into AI. Absurd.

The correct number of ads people working at Firefox is 0.

Here you are telling on yourself. Ads, whether you like it or not, are a huge piece of how the internet funds itself. As Mozilla is essentially the second largest browser after chromium-based ones, you absolutely need someone managing how ads integrate with your browser.

For example, there is a HUGE amount of people that don't want to mess with ad blockers and such and want a browser to protect them outright, Mozilla can do this with things like privacy-preserving attribution to protect user data while still serving ads in good faith.

Yes, it is so very easy to say FUCK ads, they don't belong on the internet.... until you want to host something and suddenly the costs can get real big real fast.

And another thing, you say "correct number of ads people working at firefox is 0"

You can’t do this with any company.

by this, do you mean cherry pick open listings by a company and pretend that those open listings are indicative of not only the companies focus but also their general distribution of efforts? Because that's all you're doing with this comment.

This is such a braindead fucking take. Companies should explore new technology not just take a look at the current popular opinion and run with it as absolute fact. The majority of this post is literally just using AI as a boogieman, oh no they're creating jobs that relate to AI! The company is over!!!

They saw three roles that mentioned AI and took that as absolute proof that Mozilla has "fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads". Grow the fuck up. The internet takes money to run, ads are an inevitability so no shit a major browser company has someone managing that aspect of their browser.....

I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads

oh, but they had 9 open listings for AI!!!!!! THat's a THIRD of the cOmPaNy's listings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would absolutely love to see that happen

Exactly what I suspected. How could you even truly prove such a thing

More accurately Feige resumed his larger role in Marvel’s direction. A big part of this whole quality degradation was due to Feige stepping back and allowing others to come in which clearly had some focus on quantity.

People forget that after endgame Feige became Marvel's Chief Creative Officer, which changed how he looked after the MCU

I can’t wait!!!! No surprise Hahn is still killin’ it

The legal system here is one big fucking clown show these days. Far too many cowards too scared to do their job and hold powerful people accountable, which leaves a disturbing amount of judges to be opportunistic corrupted assholes that enrich themselves by enabling and protecting fascist resources.

The coup never ended.

straphangers

What the hell, I've NEVER heard or read this word in my entire life.

The first known use of straphanger was in 1896. Defined as a standing passenger in a subway, streetcar, bus, or train who clings for support to one of the short straps or similar devices placed along the aisle

I guess that might explain part of that... but I'm seeing consisntent uses from merriam webster's recent examples on the web for the word.

Strangely enough there is a military alternative definition:

"Straphanger" seems to have a different, and negative connotation in current US military parlance. Since this is a militarily-oriented movie, it is probably the definition that applies.

In an article unrelated to Zero Dark Thirty, I found a reference to strap hangers.

"We have a saying in the SEAL Teams about the 90-10 rule. It goes: 90% of the guys that make it through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training are solid Operators and go on to do great things. The other 10% are constantly bringing the community and their team down. We are always trying to cull the 10% out of the herd. In the military these guys are commonly referred to as “strap hangers”....grabbing at the straps of the good men that participated in this operation."

How fucking pathetic must you be to go out of your way to suck DonOld's dick just to spit it out when he misgenders you lmao

They were roommates 🥺😍

Fuck yeah James Acaster is great

Ah yes a lot of bad history happened so more bad history is simply meh and not a threat. You’re truly saying that a narcissistic dementia patient who dreams of being Putin with an out of control biased Supreme Court and full immunity is not a notable threat?

pretend a facist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.

This has never happened in US history and that is notable given what the US can accomplish these days (and consider it won’t just be the US when Trump teams up with his dictator lovers). You think it was bad before? Does it make you feel good to paint this threat as just more of the same?

What a take, especially since this article is simply talking about how the ramifications will spread to generations, nobody is saying how this is THE greatest threat ever and anything else wasn’t shit.

Who are you even responding to

Astrogoblin just finished a playthru of this classic

I’d he didn’t Sauron would have

Okay 👍

If I can’t shoot these superbugs I’m taking myself out

Wandavision def holds up well even if the mystery aspect isn’t there

I liked Wanda from the beginning but Wandavision made her one of my absolute favorites. Since that show I have been dying for more, and while Multiverse of Madness scratched that itch some (loved the movie, love Sam Raimi horror + strange and Wanda duo (and Wong!))

With Agatha All Along we get the rest of WV back. Hahn was a highlight of WV so I have high expectations for this one.

Lastly, we’ll be seeing the reintroduction of another Young Avenger for Kamala’s team 😎

A discussion thread would be fun!
