Hey now, they'll build native features if it's something no one wants (Pocket).

[–] [email protected] 47 points 9 months ago (5 children)

I legitimately do not get pocket. It's just rebranded bookmarks

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

But haven't you ever wanted the opportunity to pay for bookmarks? Now you can!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Well when you put it that way I'm suddenly convinced! I'm gonna go buy me a pocket to put my Firefox in right now!

Point out something that could be improved

Be told to just download an extension to fix the issue

Understand why regular people don't use Firefox

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

To be fair you can have the browser with just features you want and nothing else that other people want that you don't need

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Chrome simps unite!

People don't use Firefox because of trends, not because it's somehow inferior. Yeah, no one gives a shit about your extremely weird tab preferences

[+] [email protected] -7 points 9 months ago (7 children)

We don't use it on the computer we share because profiles work like crap, when I posted about it there were a couple of people saying "Yep, Chrome's implementation is much better" and a lot of people saying "Just use this extremely convoluted way of half fixing the issue you have with it"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (5 children)

You think the profile feature is a popular reason to use chrome? I have been using the Internet since mid 90s and I never once used it on any browser until last year. No issues with it on FF btw

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's weird for me that an application should have profiles for different user, shouldn't we use profiles on OS side, it's also less problematic in my mind

Just pointing out my experience when mentioning something that could be improved and it fits the meme perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So in your mind this meme is talking shit because somehow extensions are objectively inferior? Extensions are great because not everyone has the same preferences. To me this meme doesn't at all criticize Firefox, as this is a valid choice faced with many features.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but when stuff clearly doesn't work in a logical way, you would expect devs to correct the program itself instead of relying on extensions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I don't know of a case where anything is "relying on extensions". The extensions I use are almost all for something not everyone wants/needs. And I use a lot, which is a good thing imo. I can disable or replace extensions that no longer do what I want or I no longer need.

Hahaha python

They don’t even have math in the base language, you have to import numpy to do basically anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Go parse JSON with standard library C++. Hahaha

Not many languages let you do advanced math with their base, usually libraries do the heavy lifting and in numpy's case it isn't even written in python.

I can't live without dash-to-dock extension.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Same here. I like that Pop!_OS makes it default.
