Is there a /c/nothingeverhappens over here?

Sometimes 14-year-olds have in-jokes, too.

This isn't dunking on anyone or harming anyone. It's not punching down. It's making fun of Cinnabon (and of marketing), not plane crashes. I think your comment is a bit over-the-top.

Loops is coming soon, and it's federated!

A lot of times, the manager that caused all that trouble by firing you doesn't get to be a manager anymore.

Trump 2016: "When I'm elected, I'm going to be 100% bad."

MAGAs 2016: "Nuh-uh, what he means is that he's going to be -100% bad!"

Me 2016: "Actually I think he means he's going to be 100% bad."

MAGAs 2016: "LOL TRIGGERED MUCH STUPID LIB OWNED TDS TDS TDS TDS"

Trump 2016-2020: <is 95% bad (the other 5% is ineptitude)>

MAGAs 2016-2020: "We didn't think it would be that bad!"

Me 2016-2020: "I mean, he told you he would."

MAGAs 2016-2020: "Well yeah but you said he was going to be 100% bad so you were wrong too! LOL TRIGGERED MUCH STUPID LIB OWNED TDS TDS TDS TDS"

Trump 2024: "When I'm re-elected, I'm going to be 125% bad."

MAGAs 2024: "Nuh-uh, what he means is that he's going to be -200% bad, just like he was in his first term!"

Me 2024: "...your blindness to history you actually lived through aside, actually I think he means he's going to be 150% bad."

MAGAs 2024: "That doesn't even make mathematical sense! LOL TRIGGERED MUCH STUPID LIB OWNED TDS TDS TDS TDS"

Trump 2025: <is 125% bad (the ineptitude has also somehow grown)>

MAGAs 2025: "We didn't think it would be that bad!"

Are we doomed to this stupid, stupid dance until Trump finally succumbs to his arteries?

We should sack those responsible for sacking those responsible.

This is true! Just chop off the "-dia" and you'll hear how it came to be "envy." Hence Nvidia's staring eye logo, and their green (with envy) color.

At least on desktop, it would be like fighting over an entire cookie. Still low, but not as low as this.

On Android? They think that Firefox is a significant competitor on Android?

This is like fighting another kid over a single chocolate chip while some guy is sitting on the other side of the room chowing down on an entire cookie cake. Ridiculous.

In fairness, Brave does have a built-in ad blocker that (at least years ago) did an acceptable job and is a part of the binary, so is not impacted by Chromium's Manifest V3 rug pull.

If you decide that's the way you want to go, though, you're (1) trusting their promise to never remove it or degrade its effectiveness, (2) reducing your choice about how you experience ads, and (3) contributing to Google's browser hegemony. So I definitely don't recommend it.

But technically it does have adblock.

For sure, though at some point you still hit the centralization of DNS. There are distributed DNS resolvers, but you're still going to be a little bit beholden to domain name authorities. So with that backstop as a given, sometimes it's better to just live with the hosting company but be as platform-agnostic as possible so that you can jump ship to another one if needed—unless you're willing to go full TOR, I suppose.

Interesting idea. I don't know if we have a robust enough infrastructure for that right now, but it's conceptually interesting.
