I'm on the same boat. But my "what the actual fuck?" moment came when (for those unfamiliar with it) YouTuber Idubbbz came out with a sincere apology for many of his videos that used extremely racist or ableist terms. While aware that his apologies did not automatically translated into being forgiven by the memebers of the groups he insulted, Idubbbz still felt it was important for him to apologize.

And in this situation, Penguinz0 just said that "Idubbbz shouldn't have apologized and it felt like he was exaggerating the whole thing". Way to inject yourself in something that did not involve him at all. Also, that really told me the kind of person Penguinz0 is: someone who dismisses others suffering when it's not his place to do so and someone who just goes off his own gut feelings alone.

I have watched the video and if you think he wasn't being honest, you probably are one of those people you mentioned that fall on the spectrum.

He might've used the tone of a joke, but he's been saying for a while now how he plans to "get back at those who wronged him". Hell, he even said that the GOP is impeaching Biden only because "they did it to him first".

I am shocked people like you think he's not being serious: he's literally telling you.

That's not true. The rich are extremely rich and with immense amount of power and influence, while the working class has little to nothing. That's capitalism working perfectly as designed, my friend

Are you surprised the genocidal regime that has been slowly eradicating a whole people for the past 70+ years could go this far?

Because our society says that if you have money, you must have earned it by being smart and savy...and some people still believe that

Oh my bad then. I'm not familiar with Gboard having never used it unfortunately. I don't think then that you can use multiple languages all at once. I can only say that AnySoftKeyboard is very customizable and as far as convenience goes, one can easily change languages with a swipe. You can also add your own exceptions and abbreviations in different languages

It does! You can download the additional languages and then configure it how you want (a very common one is to swipe on the space bar)

Seeing so many upcoming lunar missions fills me with sadness on one side. Just more probing to eventually exploit the moon and strip it of minerals

I stopped using Startpage because they regularly limits service access to IPs reserved for VPNs or Tor and it was immensely annoying having to prove that I'm a human each time I searched for anything.

Have you also heard of SearXNG?

I’d be also curious to know what annoyed you about DDG or Brave search.

Very fair point. My bad, I expressed myself poorly. What I meant with 'targeted ads' was to show ads not on the browser itself but to people who might be more easily convinced to use Firefox. For example, there's a huge amount of viewers on YouTube that are tech-oriented. Nobody is stopping Firefox from sponsoring creators, videos or even collaborating with them.

~~Targeted ads~~. Promotional campains to make people more aware of Firefox/why it's better. Be more present online (instead of passively depending on the userbase). Take inputs from the community and actually doing something with them rather than saying "k" and then doing nothing. Those are just some off the top of my head.

Edit: as pointed out by a kind user, targeted ads was a poor choice of words. I explained myself better below in the comments
