They're running a conspiracy to trick people into not shutting them down by offering two ways to pay, the devious foxes.

Intake of breath from the zune owners

Make me think of how every iPhone is the best iPhone yet.

Waiting for Apple to say "sorry folks, bad year for iPhone"


Wouldn't you expect that every new iPhone is genuinely the best iPhone? I mean, technology marches on.


It was sarcasm.


...and keep your hand up if you've ever donated to Firefox


I gave them over $500 and I sure as hell will never do that again.


Why don't you go ahead and share the "donate to Firefox" page?

Last I knew, it doesn't exist. You can donate to Mozilla Corporation, the group that has been agitating it's own users and donors for years now.

People who want to support the Firefox team/product and have them focus on improving things like the development tools (or whatever else) literally cannot. Mozilla doesn't make that an option.


When I was young I imagined a future where nobody had to work because computers and robots could do it all.


the issues is that work, salary was also an indirect way to structure society. want more, think more / work more (or be more cunning). now what we can't use that parameter.. how do we decide


I imagine this future could come true, if we're willing to accept that there would be many fewer people.


Just distribute the fruits of the automated labor.

The robots and automations are like the trees and bushes from our gatherer's past.

People would just take what they needed. No one would say: you are not allowed to take a berry from this bush because it's mine!!!


This would require some pretty huge cultural changes. People's modern sense of fairness, duty, and competition feed into stratification and instinctual tribalism.


We could just make more robots instead. If the robots are building robots then there's no barrier there.


Why is the utopia predicated on less people?


Well, we’re in a future where everyone still has to work to live, but the robots are taking the jobs instead


https://gitjournal.io/ is something I've started using recently. I edit Markdown notes on my mobile device, and they are then automatically synced to a Git repository.


(sigh) waggles hands


First they came for the people who worry about slippery slopes. I didn't speak out because I don't worry about slippery slopes. And that's that.


If I was to pick a language, I'd pick the one all developers agree is the best.


Ahahahahhahahahahhahahahaahaha. Please tell me this is tongue-in-cheek and just more subtle than I give HN credit for. Please.


Not all devs, not even most, but I certainly think this


Not sure I understand :) it's certainly available in nixos https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-25.11/pkgs/by-na...


Oh it's available, but it only works for about 5 minutes and then it becomes so slow that it's unusable. There was a very long issue about it that was closed with seemingly no effort on behalf of the maintainers.
