I didn’t know about otter, I was just starting to look for more since I miss the days of uzbl and all its inspirations. As far as I can tell, qute is the only one that survived

FYI, the new midori looks like a shameless clone of floorp. The only differences I can find are the default bookmarks and that floorp updates faster.

If anything, I would guess probably reddit since it kind of evolved from the early forums where it came from. Twitter has (had?) a much larger userbase though, so that’s not a bad guess either. 🤷‍♂️

Where the hell did you get HTML from? /s is a tag literally made to denote that a given text is sarcastic. It’s one of the few good things to come out of Twitter?

…that is much older than Twitter:

This symbol is an abbreviated version of the earlier /sarcasm, itself a simplification of <\sarcasm>, the form of a humorous XML closing tag marking the end of a “sarcasm” block.

It’s so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.

Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as “eye rolling?”

You only interpret ‘\s’ as sarcasm because of html and sarcasm beginning with the letter ‘s’. If you don’t think pictorial eye-rolling ‘looks’ like sarcasm, just consider it almost like hieroglyphs.

There is no monopoly in video streaming. Not even close.

Ah, you’re one of those people. Okay.

wut

Public services aren’t efficient, but they can surely change themselves more efficiently than they can force a multi billion dollar company to change its ways.

[citation needed]

I’m surprised you’re not more worried about the government outsourcing its functions to a company you seem very suspicious of.

You’re the one talking about all the alternate video services you use. I just dont want a monopoly.

If the government decided to have vital public meetings only in a private venue you have to be a member of or something, the proper fix is not to force the club to accept everyone, it’s to have the government stop having vital meetings in private places.

wut. Not having meetings in private places literally is making sure the ‘place’ accepts everyone. Do you even read what you’re saying?

I also don’t see a problem because everything of value these video streaming services offer is replaceable by one of the many other streaming services. The fact that YouTube is the biggest or most recognized does not change anything for me. The fact that there is some content that is only on YouTube doesn’t, either.

Well, you totally missed the point then.

The efficient solution to that problem is governments using a different platform that’s actually neutral.

First time I’ve heard public services called efficient, but ok.

I’m not being disingenuous. I watch videos on a bunch of platforms. It’s easy.

We’re not talking about you here. You’re purposely ignoring the problem, and therefore being disingenuous.

There are countless other video streaming services.

There are government websites - including my state’s dmv - that exclusively use youtube. You’re being disingenuous when you’re saying you can just use another streaming service (and I don’t believe you don’t know it).

Is it more anti competitive than McDonald’s only selling McDonald’s burgers

Yeah, it’s more like the next time you go to Wendy’s, McDonald’s will follow you and try to lock the doors before you go in.

Whereas Android phones tend to have sharper corners, for whatever reason.

Because Apple has design patents on those corners. Samsung lost a lawsuit about it and almost had to pay out a billion dollars.

Only because he’ll get a ticket if he’s caught not wearing his seatbelt.

They only mention “open extension ecosystem”

• The title: “Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release”
• End of the first paragraph: “Here’s everything developers need to know to get their Firefox desktop extensions ready for Android usage and discoverability on AMO…”
• End of the second paragraph: “so why not start optimizing your desktop extension for mobile-use right away?”

also I haven’t found an extension not working on mine yet I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games on my browser so no opinion on those statements

And those were installed from the mozilla addon library? With full support for a mobile interface? And you tried every extension available?

I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games

Flash used to be a mobile extension…

It’s desktop extensions. Most mobile browsers only support a subset of all available extensions (including Firefox!). Now, Firefox will support its whole library of extensions.
