I mean, Jesus famously overcharged on delivery and transaction fees when feeding the masses with all that miraculously created bread and fish while also losing 13 billion dollars in the process, somehow, right?

No, wait, I’m thinking of a different guy…

The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies. Almost every “alternative” browser is chromium under the hood. Google’s next big plan is basically constructing a walled garden around the internet (at least the HTTP part) via complex DRM. Eventually, if you want to access an actual web page, it’ll have to be via a Chromium browser. Hell, even today a shitload of websites I visit on FF just don’t fucking render correctly and I’ll have to fire up a chromium instance just to access them. That’s only going to get worse with time.

Yeah, I remembered that, as well. I have an HD album that I bought a while ago and downloaded as a zip file. I looked again just now and it only gives you the ability to download file by file unless you use their client. That’s remarkably shitty.

Let’s not be hyperbolic. It’s not the end of all civilization. It’s just the decline of ours. We all learned about stuff like this in history class in high school and college. The Roman Empire declined and fell. Tons of others did the same. It’s just our turn. We’re not special or exempt from annihilation. Time catches up to everyone.

It would be so funny if America re-elected Trump after everything. Like, 4 years of tragic, all consuming incompetence, with millions dead from covid. A literal attempted coup after a lost election. And then after 4 years of a milquetoast geriatric Democrat, the country’s like the kid who stuck a fork in the outlet to see what would happen and then a few days later thinks to himself “yeah, it fucking hurt like a sonofabitch last time, but this time if I use TWO forks, something different might happen.”
