How much do you think their market share dropped last night and today alone? I imagine at least 1% will never come back

>How much do you think their market share dropped last night and today alone? I imagine at least 1% will never come back hundreds of thousands of people will never come back. most don't even know how to fix this issue. the fix itself is not even automatic and you have to wait hours for hotfix to update.
it's a massive fail.
and imagine how many Tor people got fucked because Noscript stopped running.

Probably very significantly. Add-ons have been a huge part of their platform and browsing the internet without them is absolutely cancerous, the only people who tolerate it are normies that already use Chrome. They probably just bumped off a pretty large group of long term users who were complacent enough to stay and loyal to a degree from the old days when Firefox was good. With how they've eroded the good will of their user base over time I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them never came back.
I seen a buncha threads about this hear allday.Fucking tranneys broke firefox fuck firefox. Pol alway write.

Its preference, most like chrome because its fast and everything works. dillo is nice offbyone is nice in a vm, download streams lynx is nice (ungoogled) chromium/iridium are nice ie11 is nice edge is nice
I never like firefox after trying it on Ubuntu so I haven't tried forks. Ubuntu is poop.

The word 'meritocracy' was coined by a man who thought it was a bad thing to begin with. It's a perverse irony that everyone has described it as a goal. Meritocracy creates a new social class of meritocrats with no limit to their greed and vanity. In the old days, successful lords recognised they owed their position to their fathers, the successful and rising middle classes knew they owed it to their families and institutions, and those members of the working class who made it to university and succeeded knew and cared for their community links. All of these people appreciated they owed things to other people, that no man is an island. With the rise of the meritocracy you lose this and get an insufferable clique of people quite apart from the rest of us in positions of power.
You aren't in the meritocracy either. The bay area chic design cultist furry trust-fund kids? The bland, homogeneous machine-politicians? They're the meritocracy. They get to define merit. All the laughter in the world at their ridiculous behaviour doesn't change that they're the group who hold power. If it's any consolation, the guy who coined the term did so in a book that ends with the fall of the meritocracy and the rise of a better form of social organisation.

I dont want to be a pol lord here, but can someone please explain the logic behind this shit?
I mean at first glance this looks absolutely retarded. Sure, meritocracy has it limits, it cannot optimize for personality traits, appearance, health issues, etc. outside of what more or less directly increases performance / skill in the particular field of interest. But why the fuck would you care about any of that when jobs are so specialized in the modern world?
Yes, meritocracy can be corruptes by nepotism and false testimony / documents, but at the end of the day what regime does not suffer from this?
As an example lets take the profession of an actor. It is obvious you want someone who is good at acting for an important role. To prove that, they have to show education and/or previous experience coupled with testimony that confirms this , i.e merit. If they are attractive and charismatic too that is likely too make their acting more believable, for whatever reason, through people enjoying looking at them on screen and hearing their voice. If they are white and a straight male that is likely to go well with most box offices. This is simple statistics and reasoning. Do you care about the drinking problems, insane ego, drug abuse, hollywood rape circles if you just want a good actor? Not if it doesnt interfere with the task they were set to do. Merit provides evidence that they are qualified, it says little about morals, or deep personal issues, because it is not supposed to, unless those have particular qualifications. You need a black guy you hire a black actor, you need a woman you dont hire a man. Its fucking simple logic, and it works for the most part even when the industry is deeply fucked to the core with nepotism.
So whats the fucking deal? What is the counter argument? If you hire bad actors, if you dont prioritize based on what you need and what they can do, your company goes bankrupt, your movie goes to shit, your software falls apart.
The GPL, and other free licenses, are revocable. If you have "contributed" to projects, and haven't singed over your copyrights, you can revoke. Do it. They hate "Y" boys, hate them right back. (And yes: I know mozilla doesn't take contribs, and for this reason) lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/3/698

Free/Opensource software was a "boys club" because only men bothered to release software under libre licenses, and create software as a hobby.
America couldn't countenance a bunch of "Y" males creating a society not dominated by women (men being slaves to women is the foundation stone of the American society and non-war economy), so it cracked the consensus in an intellegence operation.
It was fairly easy and started in 2007. We white boys are socially idiots.

Abortion tech is as old as humanity. Women only care about controlling their slaves resources, and making sure their slaves can't organize or create societies where they may do things without the woman's consent or profit.

Surely the point isn't even that you owe people anything material, just that you owe your position to the actions of other people so you shouldn't be an arrogant, delusional weirdo.
So, isn't it more likely that a bunch of big, powerful tech companies just want open source gone? A few decades ago they would've probably called open source communist garbage >(men being slaves to women is the foundation stone of the American society and non-war economy), so it cracked the consensus in an intellegence operation. >It was fairly easy and started in 2007. We white boys are socially idiots. No idea what the fuck you're talking about here. Fuck war economy, it's why the USA currently is in such a weak state in the first place

Increased enrolment make universities more money - they are the ones pushing for it, because the are ran like a business
I don't see what my parents have to do with anything, you are just going off on random tangents with your shitty strawmans trying to bullshit your way out of your stupid point that those who have merit owe it to someone else
Hunter Taylor
>Increased enrolment make universities more money Only if (a) you pay fees (b) the government gives them more money

it is not about abandoning meritocracy you polsperg it is about the word "meritocracy" is flawed in that it creates a fake bar-of-entry that can cause a lot of people to think they do not have what it takes to contribute even if they actually do, just because they do not have the weight of say linus torvalds previous contributions under their belt. with proper feedback and guidance almost anybody can become become what lies in the intent behind the word "meritocracy" when it is used (but using the word can make people who have the talents feel like they are not talented enough compared to the "merited" contributors).
but of course the average poluser does not care about any of this and just wants a chance to sperg out about "muh sjooos and liberols" or "herpderp identity politics"-bogeymen
people used to do it for free until google decided to undermine everything. now it's all too late.

it boils down to the continued downward spiral in the name of combating "offensive" without breaks. anything, and everything that could possibly be considered a layer of discriminatory action against anything they believe in MUST be destroyed. any tool used by those who they consider to commit "injustice" must be silenced and eradicated because you must not give justice to the unjust. you do not tolerate the intolerance. even if you just sway a minuscule amount from the herd you are considered an enabler and must be purged before you spread like a disease among the herd. its why they have become so religiously zealotic because they have truly fallen off the deep in by doubling down into their beliefs. they just keep "progressing" to the point they have adopted draconian tactics which has caused them to become regressive in a way. purest of extremism with no breaks.
Ethan Smith
>with proper feedback and guidance almost anybody can become become what lies in the intent behind the word "meritocracy" when it is used you can't make a retard stop being a retard. >but using the word can make people who have the talents feel like they are not talented enough compared to the "merited" contributors why do you want someone who lacks any self confidence to become in charge of anything? i don't want a surgeon that needed constant praise and positive feedback + good vibes and prayers to be my surgeon. i want someone who is confident in themselves and know what the fuck they are doing without needing a cheering squad behind them sending them good vibes and prayers.
if you are that much of a downier, that much insecure, depressed, extra then please stay the fuck out of the professional work place and go become a walmart door greater.

They don't give a shit about the actual software, they just view it as another asset they can take over for social justice/smashing le patriarchy/destroying whitey etc. It's simply a pretense for a greater goal, nothing else Their logic is: >the evil white people are the most successful and benefit the most from meritocracy >brown people and whamen are less successful because of the evil white man >therefore, whitey bad, give the oppressed nonwhites more power to make up for whitey's evils >as part of taking away power, we need to make a pretense for transferring power to nonwhites in spite of their lack of merit >meritocracy bad > Ideological irrational atred? Yes. People are starting to realize that you can't get through to these types because feelings don't care about facts. When a person or group of people starts banking on principles that they themselves don't hold, or regularly contradict themselves, they probably have an ulterior motive.
>I dont want to be a pol lord here, but can someone please explain the logic behind this shit? Sorry, but "the Jews" is literally the answer here. If things like github are meritocratic and white/asian men still rise to the top, that ruins their narratives.
Andrew Parker
doesn't matter if they have the talent if they ultimately don't have confidence in themselves. you'll never be truly good at anything if you don't have the emotional stability needed to stay focus and believe in yourself without needing other people making you "feel good." you will always doubt yourself regardless if you receive any amount of positive feedback or make the most "inviting" working environment. if anything, you could make a solid argument that making an environment "inviting" and "positive" that makes you feel like you can do anything can actually breed egotism and arrogance. making you feel more capable than you actually are. you don't have to be egotistical or arrogant, but you need to already have self confidence in yourself that makes you realistic. if you are going to let yourself be defeated because you already turned yourself away for thinking you could be "meritocratic," not good enough, then maybe you truly are not prepared for the job mentally. regardless if you have the skill.
Chase Hill
I was experimenting with icecat anyways and after this shitshow I decided to switch for good, it's pretty much the same. It's nice that the privacy features are automatic but with the reality of modern web design some of the features break every site, so it takes a bit of tweaking if you want it to be functional

I've used firefox since it was called phoenix and I'm getting away from this tranny infested browser. I haven't been able to properly browse the web in years because firecux simply doesn't render many pages in a usable way.
S They keep making it worse for no reason. I used to have actual reasons to use FF over (insert name of Chromium fork here). They've consistently just gone and copied Chrome, and it's not even like FF is as fast.
It would be pretty interesting to see how the case actually progresses if someone actually did try to revoke. honestly though, having googled around, I'm half expecting the courts to decide on some consideration to be found regardless if this ever did come up
Brody Thompson
Yep, and this is why all these companies are struggling.

what about for windows. icecat, from what i can tell, doesn't have a windows version. i use to use pale moon but ever since they ditched gecko i've run into issues with it.

>They're the meritocracy. They get to define merit. no, they don't. sure, for their little itty bitty tiny corner of the world where they work, they define it. but for the rest of the world, where real people live and work and need their software to work and they really just care about it working and not what your political views are or gender or identity or whatever the flying fuck those assholes try to define as being suddenly more important than talent...the rest of the world defines merit as "does the shit work?" mozilla faggots can go suck a dick, while the rest of the world keeps getting stuff done.

according to the hours of propaganda that work made me watch, people who believe they're more meritocratic are more likely to reject resumes with female names according to a single study, so we should discard hundreds of years of western liberalism and actively promote diversity
