Imagine hating on us when we're literally just minding our own business and browsing the web 🙃

— Firefox 🔥 (@firefox) January 28, 2025

Apparently Brave got a little cheeky in Google Playstore (I don't see this in Tim Apple's store) and Mozzila is coping hard.

Firef*x claps back after Brave browser's Play Store shenanigans

https://old.reddit.com/r/firef*x/comments/1ic4w56/i_guess_this_is_a_response_for_braves_forget_the/

Pretty lame response. "We are just minding our business and fading into obscurity". They should have use this opportunity to promote some benefit of using Firef*x over brave.

Why would they give their competitor free advertising

where is the competition? the true privacy browser is firef*x

*conditions apply. Please turn off data collection, sponsored links, non-privacy-preserving website advertising preferences, weather on New Tab page, pocket sponsored posts, default browser agent, Normandy, as well as suggestion improvements for search and web browsing. Be sure to not enable AI, and set default search engine to something that isn't Google.

**kindly please ignore that even if you turn off data collection, we will still relentlessly reach out to incoming.telemetry.mozzarella.org and location.services.mozzarella.com.

Firef*x really be doing anything but enable hdr support on YouTube.

I don't get the drooling love some people have for Brave. I personally don't think I would ever trust the browser for anything other than just another option when the ones I like don't work due to the history of crypto schemes and ad/affiliate link hijacking.

Same reason I doubt I will ever trust something made by Lenovo. They screwed up in such a bad way in the past with that whole root cert thing on their OEM images that even a decade+ on I still associate them with it and never consider their products as an option if I can find anything else to do the job.

It is essentially a cult. The crypto crowd loves to overhype stuff as they are used to do it in their pyramid schemes.

Some other people also believe brave to be some kind of anti woke browser. It's just ideology.

Firef*x is objectively the best browser in the world

in a newly-bought Macbook, install Firef*x and Chrome, then compare. despite having the M4 processor and generous amounts of unified memory, Chrome lags while Firef*x is buttery smooth

i feel sorry for people who's using Chrome, they don't even know they got used to terrible experience that they think it's normal. it's like not knowing what's above 60 Hz refresh rate or not having experienced OLED

Firef*x for everything. Safari if I want to stream 4K on Netflix. Chrome if my work will be primarily on Google Docs or Gmail. Brave if it's winter and I want to use my computer as a space heater

I use Firef*x on my computer and brave on my phone. I haven't noticed brave heating up my phone though. What's going on with Brave that everyone hates them so much?

personally, i don't like that you can't disable or hide the features that are bundled with the browser - vpn, crypto, and ai. as for the company behind Brave, i dislike their marketing because they have no business hating on other browsers if they're just a Chrome reskin themselves.

as for the heating part, well, that's my experience on Mac because it's so unoptimized. Chrome is slow as it is, but when you bundle it with other bloat, it takes a toll on your machine. there's also a long-running joke that Brave mines crypto, that's why it gets hot

Brave on my old M1 laptop literally has better battery life than Safari. You can turn all the shit off. Neighbor what world are Mozzilatards living in? Oh yeah, one where Furryfox has a 69% market share and they're not a fat slob in a boring butt IT job for some middling company.

Don't be a lameass Furryfox user, be brave! The browser that puts you first | Brave

Nice little infighting in this SomaliSpot thread discussing deportations of Ethiopian Oromos from one of the federal states of Somalia, Puntland.

For those who don't know what's going on, Oromos have been caught fighting on behalf of ISIS in Puntland's remote mountainous areas, along with Arabs. Since then locals have demanded that they are deported and the government has obliged.

Furthermore, Oromos have installed themselves on Somali soil and we've lost Dire Dhaba to them and other areas. Moreoever, they are at constant war with the Somalis they neighbour, constantly stealing their land and using flipflopping 'Somali' communities to execute their land-expansionism.

https://www.somalispot.com/threads/oromos-on-the-streets-in-large-numbers-land-expansion-plans-foiled.177064/

Aurelian said: The attack by civilians on Oromos in Somalia will certainly fuel ethnic hatred in Oromia and Ethiopia in general against other Somalis.

LOL You are always sympathising with Oromos, very interesting. What attacks? Hmmmm? The only attacks have been the other way round with Oromo terrorists, Oromo cannibals and Oromo violent land expansionism.

Very spicy, could Aurelian be an Oromo sympathiser? He replies to another user accusing him of harbouring anti-Somali sentiments for our Cushitic cousins:

𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒 said:

They are STILL BREAKING LAWS BY BEING AN ILLEGAL. Or do you think Somalia is a brothel where anybody can walk in without permission?

Aurelian said:

no, if they broke the law the law enforcement should deal with them not mobs them with sticks.

Another patriot expounds on the current naivety of Somalis:

These guys forget this is third world backwards savage Africa, your bleeding heart liberal antics is misplaced, believe me ain't no naxariisc (empathy) in this cursed God forsaken continent, rn Addis Ababa is surrounded by these pagans, they're kidnapping civilians for ransom, if they can't even have naxariis for the weak (Harari) or their fellow countrymen, why should we?

https://www.somalispot.com/threads/oromos-on-the-streets-in-large-numbers-land-expansion-plans-foiled.177064/post-4250436

The OP of the thread, BASED Puntite Queen asserts that the Great Replacement is occurring right now not only in the suburbs of Galkacyo but in SomaliSpot itself!!

That is precisely why Ethiopia's plan is to send these people to us, to learn our language and then when they are large enough, they overwhelm our security forces and take over for their coastline fantasy. I am sure many more are in hiding. On this forum too.

One commentator channels his inner Goebbels as he exhorts his countryment to wake up to the Oromo Final Solution!

It's shocking to see how many ppl here have naxriis for these vermins. Man up and stop crying like some lil b!tches. If they had the chance to wipe us out completely they would do it. They are a big threat to our nation. A decade didn't even pass since abiy became president and oromos are responsible for the most genocides and mass r*pes in ethiopia. why don't oromos call their own people out when it comes to the aforementioned atrocities against amharas and tigrayans? Or why didn't our so called oromo 'muslim brothers' oppose the MoU deal and side with us? There is no allies in this God forsaken continent. Believe me abiy would start a war against us and he would supply them with weapons but he can't right now because he's fighting against fano and ethiopia is too broke to fight in two frontlines. Just put two and two together and you will realise that these 'miskiins' are nothing more than sleeper cells whose goal is to take our lands. Kudos to PL dadkas ha la tarxiilo

The last sane Somali on SomaliSpot speaks up and reminds the angry hordes of the unity of Islam !ummah :

>I personally don't give a shit. Dhuulka ilaahi baa leh. Any muslim is my brother and should never get harmed in any way. Simple as this. Resorting to tribalism or ethnocentrism is just how Somalis cope with their sad reality. Galvinising the masses to the point where they feel bold enough to physically assault people in their streets. How is this acceptable ? Everyone should be treated with respect.

https://www.somalispot.com/threads/oromos-on-the-streets-in-large-numbers-land-expansion-plans-foiled.177064/post-4250580

His peaceful response finally brings some levity to the thread as others agree that they might have gone a little too far:

I understand the concerns surrounding Oromo expansionism and tons of undocumented migrants flooding into Somali regions. I don't think most people are saying turn a blind eye and tolerate it or taking issue with safe, legal deportations. The problem is people whipping up Oromo-hate and demonising an entire ethnic group. Someone a few posts before me called them "vermin" and got many upmarseys. People are posting tiktoks and twitter posts of Oromo nationalists saying problematic things to paint a certain picture of them and incite further hatred and suspicion. These are dangerous sentiments that don't align with our morals and values. Which, by the way, come from our religion and not "the liberal West". There's never a justification for dehumanising an entire group of people.

Dude was rambling about some nonsense, and I just nodded along, waiting to get it over with. About an hour in, we got down to business and I fricked his butt (with a condom, obviously).

Tbh I felt kind of disgusted, but you know, neighbors just gotta take what they can get

It is what it is.

To find the mystical true femboy (biological male that passes as female with the exception of the peepee)

But as it turns out, they don't really exist or at least, they're so incredibly rare they might as well not exist

It's like finding a cryptid, but at the same time, trying to find that true femboy is almost addictive...

It's like gambling, trying to hit the jackpot.

I'm having a bit of that now that twitter seems to like me. i've been consistently myself this entire time, what's happening.

One of the problems of writing, @TracingWoodgrains, is that political writing is very dangerous, because expressing an opinion is always alienating. You either express an opinion which is contrary to some stubborn portion of the population which might have some valid perspective at its core, but also, people believe wholly irrational things, false narratives full of holes.

One such obfuscation was the multiracial white supremacist movement. There is such a thing as intra-race chud solidarity.

But if you notice, most latin americans voted against Trump. The Democrats have a tradition of being surprised at latinx turnout because they try and often succeed at forgetting that just because many of them are not, themselves, religion, RELIGION IS REAL AND HAS POWERFUL EFFECTS.

So you arrive at this question: to be effective in politics, you must manipulate the Mass Man.

And the Mass Man can only communicate in very simple sentences. Excruciatingly, painfully simple.

Sometimes all you have to do, like Aella, is show up where the Mass Man congregates and articulate a simple resistance to the petty bullying which constitutes all of online discourse. One of the problems the culture war roundup had, you see, was that it held to a pretense of civil discourse, but the bullying was omnidirectional because IT'S THE INTERNET. So the rules against various form of aggressive verbiage were in theory applied to the tyranny by majority of the community, the odious rightwingers, and the subordinate rhetorical position leftists were forced into, in some equitable and equal fashion.

I never really worked at Mass Man when I wrote in the culture war threads. Because working for the Man is boring. Empty patriotism.

Instead I spoke to those who could listen. I was assigned to keep that district of psychogeographical byways clean of fascism. Instead the fascists were already running the place through a pseudofascist apologetics. Scott Alexander's reality defined the contours of the space. The tribal reality effect doesn't have to work on everyone for it to work on most of the people in earshot.

It's trivial to fragment such a reality, if you're persistent.

And if the truth is on your side.

To be honest I wasn't sure until January 6th. I still think about if Trump had been younger, if this isn't some geriatric fever dream. I think it may Dispelled as one.

Prior to January 6th I could read some method in the erratic action. Except the bit with Comey. It was clear he was corrupt right off the bat, but somehow the fact that we knew he was corrupt in this really horrible way and acted like an authoritarian never seemed to compute.

I at least understood where people were coming from, when they were afraid of leftist revolutionaries.

It's just that Cthul'hu swims right and left. The nightmare monstrosity of empire; LEVIATHAN!: a horrid many-voiced beast which behaved radically different as if changing visions danced before its eyes; LEVIATHAN!, tendrils across the void of the waves, LEVIATHAN!; studded steel claws and lightning from the mountaintop!

What an interesting course of events. Truly,

God is Great.

It's called nuance
