  • Or, you know.

    Humans are a bunch of savage monkeys, and it’s up to them to make up rules that enforce what is best for everyone, and morals do that. And if you sacrifice morals to follow an illusion of success, then that’s a problem and I’m going to call you on it.

    I don’t believe in the idea that “if most people want shit then let them have it”.

    Kids want to eat kilos of candies, yet you don’t let them eat it and die. Well it’s the same with humans. If a majority is having shit values or morals, then you need to educate them, not let them be. The idea of letting things be is what led to things like the nazis, where no one wanted to oppose them until half of their country was invaded.

    And understanding things without experiencing is called empathy, and it’s a trainable skill. Which also needs to be enforced upon people. It’s crazy to me that prehistoric humans were having more empathy than current humans, even though we now have thousands of years of philosophy behind us.

    All in all, we need to stop being so complacent about others being shitty, and start enforcing rules and safeguard that force people to be held to a certain moral standard. That’s how we’ll evolve.













  • This is absurd.

    This is like saying that if nazi propaganda becomes the main selling point of web browsers, then firefox should add it just to stay relevant.

    The advantage of firefox is (was) that it takes a stance instead of blindly following market trends. Following AI, no matter how immoral and damaging it is, just to avoid a hypothetical loss, is absolute bullshit.

    They are doing it because they lost the will to take a stance, and this is what is killing them. Straying away from the opensouce, privacy centric stance is costing them their user base, and people who weren’t wanting such a stance are not going to move away from their usual browser with AI and whatever.

    It’s exactly the thing that leftist parties do when they try to appeal to the nazis, they just get buried in their own stupidity.

    Why do you think firefox-based browsers are getting more and more popular? It’s because they bring back firefox where it should be, because no one with enough brain to want to use firefox, wants a firefox with data collection and AI slop.
