I just want to thank SumatraPDF's creator, he literally saved my sanity from the evil that Adobe Acrobat Reader is. He probably saved millions of people thousands of hours of frustration using Acrobat Reader.

Isn't evolution great! They will be automatically filtered out from the gene pool. The only problem I see then is that because of the growing number of them, the rest of the gene pool will also disappear as birth rates go down, less and less young people WORKING, less taxes paid, social security system collapses, society collapses, AI robots takes over. ps: It just hit me, using the same Darwin, AI robots are superior to humans, so .................................... fruck ... we're doomed.

I use teddit(dot)net. Let's hope it survives these changes. I quit reddit years ago. Not worth it. An echo chamber.

Wait what?!

PhD in Physics here.

It's extremely frustrating, whenever a link like this, i.e outside of the IT and programming field, is posted, the number of people, who clearly have ZERO understanding of the subject matter, try so hard to sound smart. It's almost turning HN to another reddit!

To suggest that people like Weinberg was just researching imaginary things is so unbelievably ignorant. Not to mention suggesting that there must always be ONE theory that explains everything from the get-go with no disagreements whatsoever.

Physics/Science has always worked like that: many attempts at explaining a phenomena, after which ONE will be tested and shown to be the "closest" to the truth. And by closest, I mean closest.

I don't even want to begin to address that last abhorrently stupid and ignorant last sentence: "if you don't know the structure of glass you're not a scientist." SHUT UP. If you don't know what physics is, STAY HUMBLE when you comment on it.

I use teddit. Quit reddit some time ago. Don't like my thought to be checked by 6 mods.

50 million users lost in the last 2 years alone.

Sorry Mozilla, we love you, but all the good you think you're doing means nothing when you end up with no one using your browser.

Of course, Mozilla can continue to arrogantly ignore its user base.

If a company is incapable of competing, could that mean that whoever is in charge of it is incompetent and must be replaced so that the company can compete again?

When Firefox was dominant, Chrome came from nothing, competed and then dethroned Mozilla. If Mozilla is this incapable, they either have to change people at the top and make better decisions, or just die and stop pretending and selling lies to its users.

So you mean it's not their fault. They are just victims. I understand now.

They still keep losing millions of users every couple of months. Looks like there are a lot of bad decisions being taken at Mozilla.

FWIW I use a greasemonkey script called "google hit hider by Domain". I used it to manually permaban all pinterest domains when they appear and now I almost never see a single pinterest result in my searches.

A couple of years ago I swore I would never leave ff, but they decided to just neuter the add-ons and remove most of them. So I didnt think twice. Moved to waterfox, and then to Palemoon. I'm happy.

I'm sad they're losing, but they need to be adults about it and do what needs to be done. I and many others are waiting to go back as soon as they fix things.

The reason why I stopped using Firefox and switched was their clear and complete disregard of their users. I had enough during the recent addon pocalypse. It was clear that they were just simply FORCING their users hands to follow what THEY want. I started using Firefox BECAUSE of the freedom it gave me to make my browser the way I want it, whether using addons or CSS styles. But now, go to the addon page and make a search and most of the results I find are themes!!!

Call it a conspiracy or whatever you like, but I hope all the money Firefox leaders are getting from Google is not just to help them kill firefox for the benefit of Google.
