Bought out? Firefox was never bought out by anyone. What are you talking about?

I've looked maybe a handful of times over the past couple weeks, mostly to look at /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartyapps. Even then, I used libreddit. Other than that, I've not visited for really any other reason.

Lemmy + Mastodon is doing a good enough job being my daily time waster. There's definitely less content here but I am but one man, it's not like I could go through all of Reddit's bot-generated daily content anyway.

Our Lord works in the most mysterious of ways. It is best that we do not question his grand designs, my fellow gropaga.

It's just going to be horrible decision followed by horrible decision for Reddit from now on, huh? They'll grind their platform into the ground and squeeze the remaining users for all they're worth. If people start getting paid for content on Reddit, it's going to become far more of a shithole than it is already. Just wild shit.

No idea who the guy in the image is but this is a Ricky Gervais quote.

After the response to the question about Christian in his awful AMA, I don't think that's even a theory. That's just the truth.

I hope they don't bend to them. Reddit fully deserves this level of overt trolling at this point.

Journey.

I don't think it works quite as well nowadays with much fewer people playing it but it was an incredible experience when it first came out. I still play it whenever I need to calm down or just having a bad day. It's truly a special game to me.

All I want is Bloodborne... I genuinely wonder if we'll get a Bloodborne remake/remaster or a PS4 emulator first

Returnal is what I was going to reply with? Seriously enjoyed it and its bizarre story

That wasn't really part of the problem. The most used browser engines are often some of the most irritating and frustrating to deal with, just look at Internet Explorer for most of its existence. Safari is an obnoxiously widely used browser because Apple enforces its use on iPhone no matter the browser you use and it has a bizarre update schedule tied to OS version. This causes many iPhones to have ancient versions of Safari.

The problem here is not that there are or were too many browser engines, it is big companies making their browser engines in anticompetitive ways.

We're "lucky" that Blink, the engine that runs all Chromium-based browsers, is currently keeping up with browser standards. For now. Who knows if Google will keep it that way or decide to change course and move away from FOSS standards.

It is dangerous to put so much stock and power into a single huge corporation like this. A large variety of innovative and competing browser engines is far healthier than one dominant engine.
