1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to...

That’s cool but I only use a few on the mobile. Adblock origin and Bitwarden. Guess I should check out what else is out there.

I wouldn’t want to work making games. Very difficult to get a good game going and very much competition.

This week in gnome : Send Money :)

24 years later, Warren Spector offers more details about Deus Ex's cut 'Denver airport conspiracy' mission that was 'so crazy no one would believe it' (www.pcgamer.com)

Just something from one of the creators of a game that I love. The podcast episode linked was great too of you want to hear the perspective from the people who made your games your come back to.

I don’t know about the game but the airport is really spooky.

That one was really good. I’m impressed by the level of insight here. Feels like we were a smarter species back in 2000.

There is a lot of weird things about that airport, but the murals and the statues are probably the most interesting.

Yep, stay away from it, could be dangerous for you. :)

US is scared now of someone making better and cheaper cars. :)

Also it’s super plastic and feels cheap. I was disappointed in it and went for xc40 instead with higher quality feeling.

They saved too much on it. Even volvo itself said that they make almost 20% profit on it which is much higher than their other cars.

I wouldn’t want to associate this place with the garbage social media pits like Facebook and Instagram…

I liked the idea of calling it antisocial media, because it really is about building the opposite of what Facebook and Instagram is about.

Could be fixed by countries adding tax funded discount on leasing electric cars, since fossil fuel consumption is the largest source.

Make it possible for everyone to lease a new, modern electric car with a large discount.

Perfect is the enemy of progress. Since there are no silver bullets, I would go for a solution that helps instead of being passive. But that’s me. :)

This sounds like written by an Ai or some marketing person…

Ordinary people don’t use phrases like “box maker System 76” or “highly anticipated by the Linux community”…:)

Unsure of the future with my current fiance.

So I’m not sure if I can or should continue my relationship with my fiance or try to fix things. We’ve been together for two years now. When we first started dating they said that they were working on finishing their masters degree but they have not done so. They also said they’d be going back to work after they finished...

Are you having two fiances? Why do you say they? Is it to not show gender?

I think it’s funny how it becomes intentionally confusing and unclear who you are talking about. :)

I’m still on a computer that is seen as old I guess but I’ve upgraded the graphics card and the memory over the years. It still feels as fast as it always has. Of course I’m on Linux, not Windows with its eternal slowness.

I want to upgrade the cpu too but there is no point really. Everything is fast already.

Does it matter what they admit? These companies always wait for many years to admit anything. By then the damage to people is done.

Of course one could argue that if everyone would vaccinate, almost everyone would be better off, except people with side effects. But I can absolutely understand why people don’t want to risk being that person getting side effects. There is no help to be had if you are that person.

Your attention is the new economy.

So you are literally giving the guy money by thinking and talking about him. I wish everyone would just turn off their TVs and stop visiting news sites. Imagine the calm and peace.

Yup can confirm. Leased a new car six month ago. Wanted to get an electric, but the downsides of electric cars just didn’t make sense. Much more expensive, and worse in winter. Cheaper to charge, but not at all enough to make up the huge extra cost.

When the Chinese make a cheap ev that is better than fuel cars, it’s going to become more profitable than Tesla.

1984,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I can’t believe it’s still at 170+. People must really not realize that the first mover advantage is over, and Tesla has had their moment already. They are not going to lead this change to evs. Most manufacturers have good or better electric cars now.

Also people can’t afford them. Current prices are ridiculous. The company that brings low price evs that are good enough will dominate the market the next 5 years. It won’t be Tesla.

Another reason to work from home! Not that we need any more.

All of this is the opposite of being real. People who are actually real have no attraction to publishing what they are doing to their friends at random times.

Wait until they start with the “Chinese cars spy on you”. It was the entire argument why Huawei phones couldn’t even be sold in the US. Despite no evidence at all.

America has the largest spy network on the planet, and all electric cars spy on where we drive, how fast we drive, what we listen to etc. Some even film us while driving for “safety”. But appearently that’s OK, as long as the Chinese are not doing it. :)

Is there any country that is not seen as hostile to the US?
