The concept is terrible, whether it was done "as benign as it gets" or not. The idea that this kind of bullshit content (that's obviously only written to be a marketing channel) is accepted as normal is exactly why it's a problem. Your comments only highlights it even more.

I'm sort of sick of this phenomena/trend of marketing/promotional material being masked as technically helpful content.

This is exactly like the appalling methods of native advertising (aka sponsored content), but now used for self-promotion.

Not here to argue. Enjoy your gulag.

Windows is trying to swallow linux. That's all there is to it.

Ffs, can't people just use they editor they want and be happy with it? Does it always have to overcome and take over every other editor?

What the fuck does "the new emacs" mean?

He'd be horrified at what Reddit has become.

I’m curious if there been any mention of AR/VR in sci-fi or popular culture in general in a positive light? Almost all I can think of is dystopian and does not invoke the positive imagery that Fb seems to be playing at.

Who’s their target market?

Yeah that’s a weird attitude to have, the only reason there are users who feel personally hurt by the attitude Mozilla has been taking for the past few years is because they know things could be going way better.

No one is arguing that telemetry can be helpful but forcing users into it while acting holier than though is not just shady, but very much scammy.

The whole structuring difference between the foundation and the corporation sounds a lot like a tactic to push for some things under the non profit front and others under the company front, aka scammy.

All this turns on alarms in people’s heads… in a way I don’t find it weird that you guys still don’t see it, this is a sinking ship, and you’re going to think everything is going well until the last breath.

No. Mozilla is actually helping Google build and maintain a monopoly on search (for money) and is accepting the scraps that Google leaves on the table from the browser market.

Mozilla has continuously and repeatedly fucked up when it comes to defaulting to grab telemetry and shady deals with Google, to asking for money while spending way too much salaries for its execs for a supposed non-profit corporation (that is exempt from Federal income taxation).

Although I'm a Firefox user, it pains me to say that I can't wait for the day where Mozilla and Firefox dies. At least it'll hasten the rise of a new effort. And I'd take anything other than Chrome or the Edges of the world.

I'm still hoping Brave will wake up and properly fork Firefox and give Mozilla the big FUCK YOU.

Edit: a special ps to down voters: Fuck Mozilla and its CEO.

The one thing that's more annoying than Facebook are the whistleblowers of Facebook (like that frances haugen character, which I'm fairly certain is a spook). Such a cheap and condescending group of people who think they know more than the rest.

I'm happy that Emacs community doesn't have a lot of those who think that "everything should be easy" and that working hard to learn something is a waste of time by default.

Emacs is great with or without your usage of it.

Who comes up with garbage naming techniques such is 5D? What the fuck do they expect people to think when they hear that?

Inception level guessing and assumptions you're making all in this thread.
