Well... It doesn't happen to you.

Yeah as someone not from there, same. But I am not surprised at the sentiment still being very much alive when many of the main characters still are, too.

The Good Friday Agreement was only signed in 1998, which admittedly is before 2000, but not that far before it.

It's just a list of recent additions I'm excited about. Of course they come on top of a browser I was already consciously using, so they're just there to sweeten the deal, not as unique selling points by themselves.

The "Troubles" (sorry I need the scare quotes for such an understatement) weren't that long ago. Just about one generation.

I wish it wasn't as fringe, even here, but it's certainly not something you hear mainstream politics going on about often.

I'm happy to criticise him for that too, but that doesn't mean that folks don't drag AI into every slightly related or even completely unrelated threads too.

Ah yes, just like Vivaldi is now the #1 browser now that they've adopted this strategy.

I guess I'm the political fringe in that I'm obsessed about our excellent (bike) infrastructure :)

Honestly, sometimes it feels like folks are more obsessed about AI than Big Tech CEOs are. With native vertical tabs, tab groups, and the new profiles, there are more new things in Firefox I've been excited about than in the years before, but everybody's only talking about AI.

Yeah unfortunately i can't quite recall the context, but I think they were attempting to make encrypted storage the default, but then that broke on existing databases or something? It was a pain at least, I know that much 😅

(Although would be less of a pain nowadays, now that Signal has proper sync to restore my history.)

I don't know about where you live, but where I'm from, we're very far away from there not being enough people to fill all the houses.
