As in, desgined to fail early? I highly doubt that.
Even if it were true, lightbulbs still last longer and are way cheaper. Whether I have to replace them every six years or every five years doesn't matter as much.

You could just google it-

[W]atching atrocities, whoever commits them, is not something most people would want to do.
This is the part about it that upsets me most. Propaganda is bad enough, but propaganda through attempting to force people to watch atrocities?
I personally value being informed, but there is a limit to how much I can take before it becomes second-hand trauma. I can fault nobody for looking away from some of the cruel shit humans can do to each other.
Don't the news feed us too much violence, suffering and death already? Forcing people to watch even more would be heartless without the propaganda angle while propaganda without inflicting psychological trauma would be despicable; combined, they're nothing short of disgusting and despicable.
No bad friends! Focus on the upsides
Eh, I'll worry about that if and when we get to that point. Who knows, maybe they turn out really fuckable.
Sparta couldn't even conquer more than their own backyard. They'd overrun Messenia and enslaved the lot, then spent a few centuries bickering with the rest of Greece, until Persia financed them to claim hegemony. That hegemony lasted 33 years, then they bickered with Thebes for a while, took losses, never quite recovered and eventually got subjugated first by the Macedonians, then by the Romans.
Really, Rule 2 should be enough. Inanimate objects can't give consent.
Plus there's this.
What the fuck? I was expecting that link to be one singular failing, not ten. Holy shit.
Wait, people have religious objections to vaccines? Do they worship St. Influenza or what? Is this the Church of Virus Christus? Latter Day Plagues? Cough-olic? Je-fever's Witnesses?
Clearly if you arnt building your own web browser from the ground up, your a sheep. This is the only logical conclusion!!1!1!
Obviously. It's the only way to be sure it has exactly the features I want and nothing else. Anyone recommending anything else has clearly been deluded to accept mediocrity. How else could they think something other than my exact tastes is decent?
Lol, but seriously every modern browser is basically crap ran or controlled by a large company that does fucked up or less then ideal things.
Yeah, it's fucked that we basically have to pick what flavour of shit we'd hate least. And once we're all settled in with our least disgusting brand, we obviously don't want to move anymore. I'm sticking with Firefox and probably will for some time to come. Adjusting to a different UI, migrating all my bookmarks and finding equivalents for my extensions is an effort.
Maybe some alternative will eventually entice me enough to overcome my reluctance to mix up my digital environment. I just hope it'll be by actually being good, rather than just "not as bad".
From the devs' perspective, the relevant question will be this: How hard is it to map out all the lookalikes, and just how important is it to render foreign domains properly?"
