Didn't they already support all addons a few years ago, and then limited it to the hand-picked ones?

This kind of shit is what made me switch to Linux. I just didn't feel like I owned my computer anymore.

Home to all things “Mildly Infuriating” Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that. I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined.

~~ Literally the community description

I'm not saying "this place has no place on lemmy", I'm saying this is not the sub for that.

 

No, antivaxxers, anti-worker propaganda, climate change and fucking antisemitism aren't "mildly infuriating", this shit is fucking enraging.

Yeah, sure, it's always the same story:

  1. Chrome adds a shitty anti-user "feature"
  2. Firefox users say "no come to firefox we don't have that!"
  3. 3 months pass
  4. Firefox adds the same "feature" because it's the standard now!!

I'm a Firefox user myself but I really hope something new comes along that actually cares about its users

Absolutely not, science has a long history of ignoring and laughing at many new theories. Many of them were later found out to be true, sure, but it's not like religion doesn't change, reinterpret itself etc. along with the changing times.

All the while nowadays pendulum has swinged to the other side, and most of published papers are never peer-reviewed, as "science" working under a capitalist system must abide by its rules, and so quantity and shock value is more important than quality.

So while in theory "being wrong" sounds like something that would be useful for science in practice, no, it always was about being (or at least seeming) right.
