What the hell is wrong with Canada? Everything I’ve heard out of there for the past year or more has been horrible.

Mozilla is going to kill it too. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxsdmHepmqMNqWM0BmW2RHemnarYeQk0bk?feature=shared

Unibodies do have a frame it’s just not a completely separate assembly like a ladder frame.

As others have said there are lots of places to jack a car. Nobody uses the flange on the rocker panels unless they’re trying to change a tire roadside with the emergency jack.

They would have had to build that infrastructure. I’m not saying fundraising is easy. But it’s possible as proven by wikipedia. They could have cut Google loose 10 years ago and said "we’re going to use our runway to try to put together a wikimedia foundation style fundraising operation. I don’t think they can do it now because the trust, goodwill and quite frankly, userbase is gone.

What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.

My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.

It’s the board and the wider leadership who are controlled by Google and intent on destroying Firefox. The current CEO is pretty new, and replaced a heavily criticized CEO that spent years overseeing the decline of Firefox. The new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Daily reminder that Mozilla’s new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia. Instead they chose the comfortable path of being funded by their biggest competitor, who is an evil monopoly spyware ad business, which has been compelling Mozilla to kill Firefox and become the badies on the way down.

I’ve been voting for a while and never have I seen a candidate on the ballot who was against capitalism.

Man, I’m so glad this shit is illegal on multiple levels in Europe.

Goldbugs have a lot of nostalgia for the Gilded Age, so they put the face value it where it would have been in 1896.

Both CEOs are horrible but the new one is a former McKinsey consultant with a background in finance and the silicon-valley C-suite. According to statements she put out her strategy is: layoffs and AI.

He’s a “free-breathing absolutist.” He thinks everyone should have a supply of oxygen except the people he personally doesn’t like.

I quite frankly flat out do not understand why people on the left are so against space exploration suddenly

Ever heard the song “whitey on the moon?”

Setting that aside, exploring space is not the same thing as building a company town for the world’s least mentally stable pregnancy fetishist oligarch in an unworldly cold desert where everyone is sure to die.

It’s just a suggestion.

Quebec is also where I learned the phrase “No cop, no stop.”

But I think they were arrested for not saying arrêt.

Some of them are flying the Confederate flag in Alberta!

Historically Europe (and the British Empire) sided with the confederacy because they saw a united USA as a potential industrial rival, whereas the south was more of a resource colony. Interestingly there was a major class divide in Europe where the working classes were anti-slavery and therefore anti-confederate wheras the upper classes saw the confederate cause being in their interest. There’s a book about this called A Cause for All Nations by Don Doyle.

My understanding is that nowadays the confederate flag is used by people outside the USA who are on the fascist end of the spectrum for whom Nazi or fascist symbols are too extreme (or just illegal) in their countries.

If they said they didn’t find any, then everyone would know it was a whitewash. So they decided to “find” a small amount and then pat themselves on the back.

Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.

He ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed. That’s for sure. I think the world is gonna roll him. The ice is getting pretty thin, the water’s warm. Do you think he can swim?

I think I’m beginning to understand how Trudeau keeps winning.
