I have no sympathy for GAFAM, but Mozilla sucks even more and you can't convince me otherwise.

  • Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

    Jump

  • My Microsoft 365 subscription is expiring and will not be renewed thanks to you lovely people getting me on the Proton family of software and obsidian for note taking.

    I mean... Why would you ditch a service you evidently NEED just because some stranger on the internet told you so?

    That said, there's plenty of offline programs that can work on .dock files, such as OnlyOffice and LIbreoffice (with varying degrees of compatibility with existing files). Good luck!

    How cute people who sincerely believe the fairy tales Mozilla tells...

  • Alternate push notifications on unrooted device?

  • NP, man. Never heard of it. Now I have something else to waste my time on! 🙃

  • Wouldn't you need root for lsposed anyway?

  • Mozilla, Thunderbird, and/or the EFF,

    Do you know that donation to Mozilla don't (and can't legally) fund Firefox development, right? (opposite to what happens for Thunderbird, actually).

    But, hey, you can guarantee Mozilla's CEO a better retirement:

    Thus, your money are better spent donating to Thunderbird or EFF or whatever other foundation that does something actually useful.

  • I understand. I just feel it's quite arrogant ans annoying to be (indirectly) schooled by strangers on the internet who think they know better.

  • I won't prevent anyone from using FF, either. I just think that the "obligatory use Firefox" is quite arrogant, to say the least. And, to be honest, I'm quite happy it's not going to happen until FF is managed by Mozilla and their poor choices.

  • I surely deserve death for using a browser you don't like. Jeez, people can be so obtuse sometimes...

  • Nice to know that you downvoted me for no actual reason, as I didn't make any "case". Have a candy.

  • The ceo raising his salary is a problem for you

    It's not for me (anymore). It should be for you. She was raising her salary while firing devs... But whatever. Mozillians are seldom rational.

  • "inhuman immorality" LOL

    Listen, man... I'm all for LBGT+ people rights, but let's be real donating few thousands on a campaign is far from "inhuman immorality".

  • Moreover, Firefox’s UI is incomparably superior to that of Chrome.

    No. It's crap. Utter crap.

    without considering the infinite userchrome.css customisations.

    "Unsupported" and surely an incentive for less tech-savvy people to look elewhere. But whatever. I' won't bother to reply to anything else, as you're statistically one of these persons that spend their life watching crappy youtube videos and buying shit on Amazon.

  • Someone just insulted me and called me "alt-right" person or "crypto bro" (I'm neither of both). So, do you really think that I'm the pathetic one?

    And... Which "claims", by the way? I just said that I'm annoyed by people telling me "I should" do something and that I'll decide by myself. Full stop. Coherently, I'm not giving you alternatives nor have I to disclose anything.

    Sometimes it looks like one has to apologize for using Brave or Vivaldi or any other shit that didn't come out from Mozilla's ass. Keep using FF if this makes you happy. It made me happy for 20 years, but then I got fed up by 1) Mozilla, 2) Mozilla's community 3) The browser itself.

    Don't worry. One day Mozillians will receive a reality bath and realise the farce they have supported.

  • Cool. On my part I, as a non crypto-bro, don't want to be friends with stupid people. So, I'll ignore you from now on.

  • that is a funny graph. Even assuming the data is true, it deliberately missrepresents market share as usage. Which pretty much neglects the fact hat maybe a person or two and a device with a browser or two have entered the market since then.

    Fine, so on the same basis we can also reject the "chromium dominance" argument, which is the main selling point of Mozilla.

  • Indeed, I'd love Seamonkey to be a viable alternative, for instance.

    LPT: disable "Show Scores" in your settings. Score is useless, is often lazily used just to silence unpopular opinions and reduces engagement and reasoned arguments.
