We really need more browser engines floating around.
As of now we really only have 3, Webkit, ~~Firefox~~ Gecko, and ~~Chromium~~ Blink.
Everything is based on these 3. And I know, technically chromium and firefox are both based on webkit, but they're so far gone from webkit they function as their own engines.
tbh i think it would be better if there was a single collaborative engine instead, owned by a non-profit company like The Linux Foundation
maybe the W3C could establish their own but idk if they even do anything these days

It's almost already too late at this point
Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it's a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.
Lemmy is chock full of stupid people on the right team for the wrong reasons. They treat switching to Linux and FF the same way someone would declare they gave their life to Jesus Christ.
Most of them can't even explain why something is good or bad without resorting to the catch phrase of the day. "Enshittification", "EEE", "Chrome bad cuz capitalism or something, gib updoots."
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO GOOGLE!!!!!
I hate when that happens too, it's the enshittification of the discussions.
PLAY STUPID GAMES,
If what you were gonna say is quashed by people knowing the big corpo tricks and treachery, then chances are what you had to say served no interests but corpo interest to begin with.

Maybe we're just tired of sheep. Even sheep that happened to end up on the right side.
At least he's honest. Props for that.
I mean he's dead wrong, but the user name is refreshing.
You're doing an awful lot of Baaaa-ing over there to cry about other people being sheep.
