Firefox is creepy AF. I was just listening to "Diamond Ned Flanders" by MadeinTYO on Apple Music, and when I open Firefox the "suggested article" on the front page is about Ned Flanders. That's some Facebook type shit right there. Uninstalled.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? We've already had to ask you this, and you've been doing it a lot.

Also, while I have you, please stop using HN for ideological battle—you've been doing a lot of that as well, and it destroys what this site is for (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), regardless of which ideology you favor or disfavor.

Also, can you please not systematically delete comments? Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been posted in the first place. Deleting more than half of what you post is not an intended use of the threads.

I wish there was a way to PM on HN, atleast for mods to HN users. I mean no offense, but public humiliation isn’t useful most of the times.

Oh, I didn't see it, maybe it was flagged.

So it's probably just the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon: https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human...
