I don't really see the problem as long as they're still working because they enjoy doing it, rather than being forced to do it to survive.

If they aren't funding Mozilla, which is a far more significant company with a long history of browser development, the chances they're gonna fund a brand-new browser that very few people have even heard about is next to none.

That's true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

I really don't see how supporting Manifest V3 is a problem. It's still going to be used by many extension developers, and there's no harm in its availability as long as you can still block WebRequest, which is currently the case. On the Mozilla taking Google's money point, sure, that's true, but it doesn't seem to have affected too much of the browser, other than search defaults abd a few other things that can be very easily turned off or removed entirely. I wouldn't say the chances are particularly high for Manifest V2 to be completely removed, personally.

Sounds like the person you're married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn't is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.

That it may well be, but it definitely falls on Cloudflare that they were able to take advantage of this for so long, and that the "unlimited traffic" was displayed as one of the perks in the Business plan (although I haven't seen any evidence that that was listed). The decision to charge $10k a month would seem fairer if they weren't insanely aggressive, and claimed there were violations of ToS where there don't seem to be any.

I wouldn't say that's particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn't really necessarily mean it's an echo chamber though, I've seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don't see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?

(Do note I'm not an astrophysicist, so this may be a bit wrong, but I think the main part of it is right.) Not exactly. Everything in the universe is constantly drifting away from everything else. The reason it is pretty much only visible at the scale of galactic clusters is that literally every force in the universe overpowers this expansion, unless the distances between the objects are truly absurd, in the range of millions or billions of light years.

Breaking petrochemicals is exactly how we got into this mess though.

Unfortunately for us, the sun isn't an egg timer, and it's pretty much completely impossible to determine exactly when and how strong the next solar flare is until it's hurtling through space and potentially in our direction (beyond general trends like solar cycles and such). Would be great if it worked like that though.
