There’s an article linked, perhaps it might give some insight.

If you’re wondering why Android 15’s codename is Vanilla Ice Cream and not something that starts with the letter “A,” I can’t say for sure. It’s likely because Google had already chosen Vanilla Ice Cream as the internal codename for Android 15 before the first trunk stable release, so it didn’t want to go back and change every mention of the codename, especially since that could break some build flows.

So this build change actually originated in the upcoming Android 15, but since that codename had already been chosen they didn’t rename it to A.

True. But as long as that isn’t the case, may as well fix the wording and raise awareness.

For YouTube it displays the YouTube menu on first right-click, then the Firefox context menu on second right-click for me. On Windows.

If that is not the case for you, something may be broken. Have you tried running Firefox without any add-ins already?

The general tone in this thread seems so very different from when “Mozilla is working on AI” was first announced

Chromium does have some Google things in it. Like what happened with the built-in extension giving Google websites special permission to read the hardware info of your computer.

I’m sure those developers don’t need any material like, say, software, or a desk. Or other staff to write those paychecks and resolve disputes. Or give direction. Nor would the company need to host any downloads or other websites.

Win + R isn’t the terminal but rather the run command.

We’ll find someone else to blame, like women!

Wait, no–

As a neutral nation you need to have some way to ensure that neutrality as there is no NATO or other group of nations to have your back.

Hence the military spending.

Ryan McBeth mentioned in his video (13min) them not disclosing receiving funds from a foreign backed entity was, indeed, the legal issue.

Not the point I was making.

This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"

Did Linus blame anyone though?
No. He simply stated a fact.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t piracy?

Downloading old Nintendo ROMs because the company refuses to redistribute them is also piracy, even though I would say it’s morally justified.

Its protection.

From your point of view, yeah. Not from the point of view of the creator and the platform.

Linus isn’t clutching his pearls nor is he crying, he’s just pointing out you are circumventing the method of payment to the platform. It is detrimental to both the platform and the creator. That is a fact. Your choice has an impact and you should be aware of that.
But at no point did he say “you’re a bad person if you use adblock”.

What has got you so worried?

I really don’t get the hate he got for that take.

Circumventing the method of payment could be argued as being a form of piracy. From that point of view, adblock is piracy.

Like them or not, YouTube is not a charity and requires the serving of ads to continue funding the service. You could argue about how they go about it, but it’s a fact they need some sort of income to continue to exist.
Same goes for YouTubers. They get a percentage of that ad revenue. And they also need some form of income.

But just because he said so doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand why adblock is used. He didn’t say “don’t use adblock.” He’s shown how to use adblock before and since. He’s also mentioned that buying something from their webshop gives them a lot more money than turning off adblock.

Saying “watching movies for free is pirating” isn’t the same as saying “you shouldn’t pirate movies”.
Using adblock isn’t engaging with YouTube on YouTube’s terms.

The issue often is that, just because it’s outwardly frowned upon, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen behind closed doors.

Which isn’t to say any of your relatives are bad people, but a culture where speaking up is frowned upon encourages victims to hide their abuse.

People have caught onto what they really mean by “anti-sjw”, so they’ve moved onto the next buzzword. And then the next, and the next.

Whatever it takes to keep their plausible deniability in front of the media that they aren’t simply racist. Gotta keep that mainstream appeal.

It’s the latest anti-sjw boogeyman

This might match your criteria:

(Jokes aside, I do agree with your sentiment)

Does it?

Previous benchmarks have shown the 8 GB models seriously fell behind in performance.
