If you have the money to go in on a lawsuit solo, you have the money to retain a local lawyer and probably travel costs.

Otherwise, you’ll have to get a class action going which in that case, a local lawyer is still retained but the cost is spread out and for class actions only 1 person of the party needs to be present (if at all)

Wow reading through it certainly sounds like it’s the plaintiff law firm that’s being scummy, predatory and even funded by some VC company “Black Diamond”

I don’t quite see the point they’re making, I’m assuming by “massive arbitration lawsuit” they mean they’re being sued because of and to get rid of the arbitration clause?

I don’t see how it’s a win for them in either case tbh, maybe they’re trying to avoid having a precedent set is all that I can think of

Keep in mind, should Mozilla/FF go full tilt enshittification all the FF forks will eventually be like Chromium forks today.

Unable to do much, if anything, to the actual engine itself. So if/when FF has their very own Manifest v3 moment, all those forks will unlikely be able to do much about it just like the Chromium forks.

Sooo who wants to crowdfund an auction!

This is a 100% handmade meme by me lol

I actually did consider putting IE, but then I realized IE never went through enshittification it was just always shit lmao so it didn’t fit

I’m just following the warning signs, in the last year:

There’s the news of the opt-out only on tracking as you brought up. Then they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer. Then they acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”. Then the AI shit oh and ofc the news where they almost sucked Putin’s dick and pulled FF from being accessible in Russia for a day or 2

And a bunch of other stuff that I’m probably forgetting about. And that’s just within the last year.

Google and Chrome were great to! Until they weren’t. FF probably won’t ever actually die, not for a while at least. But the User and Privacy first aspects certainly will. They’ll probably succumb to enshittification and become like any other corporate browser like Chrome or Edge for years to come.

There’s also the news of them forcing opt-out only on tracking today or yesterday

Then there was the news that they fired one of their open source executives because he had the audacity to get cancer

Then the news that they (Mozilla) acquired an ad company because “we’re built different and we can fix her and totally not get corrupted by ads in the process”

Also the AI shit as commented

Oh and then the news where they almost sucked Putins dick and pulled FF from being accessible in Russia for a day or 2

How’s life as a hurricane?

Ladybird! Though it’s not slated to be fully ready till 2026

Yea if nothing else hopefully it’ll at least point you in the right direction

LMAO, you use “woke” unironically. “Woke” is nothing but a right-wing dog whistle against everything they don’t like, like the LGBTQ+ community

You can’t be “anti-woke” and left wing at the same time, it’s paradoxical.

Its a besties thing, I could easily be on either side of this convo with mine LMAO

🪑

IYKYK

Why not just hire cyber ninjas?

Because they require payment upfront lmao

Somebody forward this to Neil and get Netflix on the line

I need 8 seasons and a movie of this!

1 day old account and already ousted yourself as a right-wing nutjob, good job! You’ve been tagged.

Ya know, I’ve heard of all this before but all the vape shops I’ve been to have been… practically unaffected, with all the flavors and mods, coils and such one wants. Are they all just running until they get shutdown? Lol

In the aftermath of World War III, Earth found itself in a period of profound reconstruction. Amidst the rebuilding of infrastructure and reestablishment of global communication networks, a significant technological shift occurred—a transition that would eventually shape the future of computing across the United Federation of Planets. The proprietary operating systems that once dominated the computing landscape, Windows and macOS, had their development and support structures irrevocably damaged during the conflicts. Their closed-source nature meant that without the original companies and their specific infrastructure, recovery and continuation of their use became impractical.

In the vacuum left by these giants, Linux, an open-source operating system kernel developed in the early 1990s by Linus Torvalds, began to flourish. The collaborative and transparent nature of Linux’s development made it not only possible but practical for a disparate and recovering world to adopt and adapt it to their needs. Volunteers from enclaves of survivors and later, from emerging new governance bodies, contributed to the Linux kernel, ensuring its evolution and relevance in a rapidly changing world.

As the decades passed, Linux became more than just a stopgap solution; it became the backbone of the new world’s computing infrastructure. The open-source ethos that defined its development paved the way for an era of unparalleled innovation in software. By the 22nd century, Linux had evolved far beyond its initial kernel beginnings into a sophisticated operating system known for its reliability, adaptability, and security.

It was this Linux, enriched by over a century of global collaborative development, that laid the groundwork for what would become the Library Computer Access/Retrieval System (LCARS). LCARS, with its distinctive interface and advanced computational capabilities, became synonymous with the technology of the Star Trek era, used extensively throughout Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. The principles of openness, collaboration, and adaptability that were integral to Linux’s success were also embedded in the core of LCARS, allowing it to evolve and meet the needs of a vast and diverse galaxy.

Thus, Linux is not merely an ancestor of LCARS; it is its foundation. The journey from the post-war world to the era of starships and space exploration was made possible by the resilience and innovation inherent in the Linux operating system. This legacy of collaboration and openness continues to define the technological landscape of the Star Trek universe, embodying the spirit of exploration and unity that characterizes the Federation itself.
