@firefox STOP. UPDATING.

The browser was done TEN YEARS AGO. There is literally ZERO FUCKING JUSTIFICATION for you pushing updates EVERY GODDAMN DAY.

Fucking KNOCK IT OFF. WE DON'T WANT YOUR AI FUCKING GARBAGE.

This is why you're losing to a fucking fork.

You were supposed to be defenders of the faith, not fucking corporate whore sellouts like Google.

@muusemuuse The security excuse for constant updates is a lie. There are not constant security patches that need to be fixed. The "risk" is extremely low, and is not reduced much by your browser checking a security certificate to see if the fraudulent website has paid google this month or not. THey update to put privacy and security violations on my machine - because that's all AI is, a security NIGHTMARE. .

@muusemuuse Furthermore, I go to the same three websites every fucking day, not wandering the far depths of the darknet in search of snuff films and infected jpgs. There is NO RISK that requires daily or even weekly updates to a piece of software that is essentially an image viewer. And if there is, they DID IT WRONG. Browsers were done being developed ten years ago, and there are no "new features" worth a damn.

@muusemuuse Furthermore, if security is pushed all the way down to the user level, and we expect users to do the work to keep the internet secure, then the internet IS BROKEN AND BADLY DESIGNED. Security is the province of OS's, ISPs, and networks, not individual instance users. If the last line of defense is ME< THEY DID IT WRONG.

You are demonstrably wrong with literally every damn post here so I’m just going to assume you are mentally ill and move on.

@muusemuuse @wyatt_h_knott

Counterpoint: No, YOU are wrong. This rant hits a lot of key points, and hits them well.

Number of times in my 60++ years I've had sensitive personal data compromised because I had a sucky password or didn't use MFA: ZERO.

ZERO.

Number of times due to some giant corpo server being hacked or them JUST SELLING OR GIVING AWAY MY DATA: DOZENS. That I know of.

Stop blaming the fucking victims.

I didn’t make that argument. Your passwords and MFA concerns are irrelevant to this.
