> A big trial of mindfulness training in UK schools maybe made kids a bit more depressed, and two attempts to teach psychotherapy principles to students in Australia both failed.

I have always belived that the widespread of cheap psychological content aimed for average people is a mental-unhealthy plague and would only make them overconfident in judging their own and others mental health, this is why we see overuse of terms like bi-polar, trauma, narcissist etc.. in social media where teenagers are active.

Don't be evil

Civilizations that prioritize the overall safety and wellbeing of society over "individual rights" tend to have more harsh penalities to safeguard society and it does work, and rarely needs to be executed.

More "liberal" countries have real societal problems that cannot be solved because "individual rights" stands in its way.

I am pretty sure cost of living is #1 reason and certainly not education.

This can be repurposed as a legal form of ransomware

pay me to shut my absolutely legal site down to make your life easier

I am wondering if amazon fixed the issue or blacklisted *.sp.am

This kind of argument can be used to censor anything deemed controversial.

I wonder why people still buy devices from a manufacturer that is very disrespectful to its users and developers, especially they aren't the only option on the market.

Islam is a religion, Israel is a state

I have left many coffee shops just after enter without ordering because they only have QR menu and no WiFi.

It feels insulting that I need to spend my limited Data package just to help you earn money. Even when the waiter offer to show me the menu on his phone, it felt overcomplicated process and I cannot imagine a business delibrately making it that difficult to order without expecting profits to decrease.

Supply:Demand ratio, like anything else.

Most tech startups spend years and sometimes decades in net losses while CEO get raises because revenue isn't the one and only performance and potential indicator.

I cannot find any benefit of the articles bashing Mozilla with hot claims - that aren't necessarily false but used in misleading contexts - other than Google, Microsoft and Apple.

I have used firefox for years because I believe in FOSS and privacy despite the shrinking market share and the poor addons market.

I am not going to leave Firefox after the recent and significant improvments in the weakness points for some conspiracy theories based on completely normal facts

People need to pay some inconvenience for the better cause of web usability, privacy, software freedom, etc..

Everybody knows that Linux started with low funding a tiny userbase that had to accept the inconvenience over the year to avoid the project death, now Linux is irreplaceable technology that we rely on more than most popular software, it wouldn't reach that point if users quickly got annoyed and gave up on freedom of software.

Exactly!

The fact that Firefox usability and perfromance is improving, better addons support for android, unique useful features like containers and easy to configure network proxy/DoH/web protection levels, etc.. is already a big improvment.

How do people expect the market share to grow if the user isn't #1 priority.

This is itself a bold claim.

Firefox is in fact better in terms of privacy than rivals with higher market share, the home page of firefox addons store has uBlock Origin with "Recommended" label placed by Mozilla team.

It is important to recognize that the web is also used by grandma and grandpa who won't master any tech more recent than fax and installing uBlock origin by default will harm FF market share even more as usability will be impacted.

> also suspect they’ve infiltrated or outright own the major VPNs ExpressVPN, PIA, Cyberghost, Zenmate, Intigo, and other major VPN providers are owned by ex-undercover commando in Israeli military Teddy Sagi of Kape Technologies.

It is safe to assume Israel and US are actively using them as honeypots, especially they were mostly acquired - not built - by Kape.
