donvotes dont mean you're wrong. they mean you made someone mad. sometimes this is because you said something they know is incorrect. but more often its because what you said may be true, and disagrees with their worldview or ideology.

I agree in the sense that there are always people who will see “Now with X!” and interpret that as a selling point even if they have no idea what X is or what it does for the product. I would wager there are more people out there that couldn’t describe what part of the product is the “AI” than there are people who are genuinely enthused by what the AI is doing.

Woah that’s crazy how did you add the Kill Bill siren sound to your comment?

In revenge for reminding me of Frontpage I will also mention Dreamweaver. God just the memory of trying to clean up copy text someone edited in Frontpage is giving me nausea.

If you have any love for Hollow Knight you will probably enjoy Nine Sols.

Thanks, but the reason I don’t have to imagine is because that job is a memory.

People genuinely thought ColdFusion would allow untrained businessmen to make complex websites with no coding, only markup. It could generously be described as a “web framework”, and it was released in 1995.

There’s no gecko without Netscape either, but one of those isn’t around anymore.

firefox is not gecko, but yeah there is a depressing lack of viable alternatives

The situation is always more complicated than a single graph can represent. Which is why I'm taking this in consideration with other context, and it's solidifying my impression that Mozilla is failing and I need to find a firefox alternative before they shit it up further chasing money to pay their CEO a ridiculously inflated "market rate". What good is some theoretical increased profitability (they're a non-profit!) if all it does is serve to further inflate already inflated compensation packages?
