he/she/they/them/it

I think it’s more a statement that it’s not gendered

It’s not their fault it’s a licensing thing.

DisplayPort is the superior adapter.

The point is that you’ve fallen for some idiots on X making up culture war bullshit.

Kit’s supposed pronouns aren’t mentioned by Mozilla anywhere in any Mozilla announcements.

One news site attributes this quote to Mozilla

Kit (he/she/they/them/it) is the user’s constant companion. Wherever they choose to roam, Kit will accompany and guide them with clever, playful encouragement and support — giving the user the confidence to run free.

That’s the one and only place that even remotely mentions it as far as I can tell. And it’s not even a statement that it’s NB or they/them… More like it’s a fictional mascot call it what you want.

Except there’s basically nowhere that Mozilla actually does. The post is misinformation

Yeah I noticed that too.

I found this quote supposedly attributed to Mozilla, as far as I can tell this is the whole issue, everything else is chuds on X running with it.

Kit (he/she/they/them/it) is the user’s constant companion. Wherever they choose to roam, Kit will accompany and guide them with clever, playful encouragement and support — giving the user the confidence to run free.

By the way this is NOT a new Firefox logo. It’s just the fox mascot drawing that may be used in other parts of the UI like the welcome screen after a new install, or on social media.

The actual logo remains unchanged.

On top of that nowhere in the announcement are the supposed pronouns mentioned: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/meet-kit/

Actually the whole thing may be bullshit. Literally the only Mozilla reference I can find to Kit’s pronouns is a statement given to like one or two blogs, and it says that any pronoun is acceptable.

Kit (he/she/they/them/it) is the user’s constant companion. Wherever they choose to roam, Kit will accompany and guide them with clever, playful encouragement and support — giving the user the confidence to run free.

That’s attributed to Mozilla here: https://www.neowin.net/news/firefox-has-killed-its-old-mascot-heres-what-the-new-cute-one-looks-like/

All other references seem to be chuds on X claiming that it’s explicitly they/them and acting like Mozilla is making a big deal about that. As if it matters either way.

If you had some kind of reaction to this post you’ve fallen for culture war bullshit propaganda, congratulations.

The live action Spiderverse had a hilarious moment where the other Spideys were absolutely horrified by seeing one of the biological web shooters (Maguire)

3rd country removals. What an insane idea.

Like legally from the receiving country’s perspective. You’re going to imprison someone you willingly let into the country for the crime of… The US didn’t want them?

I’ve got one but really basically never use it

It’s just the old one from the living room though I’d never buy a bedroom TV

It broke on me which is how I found out about the depreciation, but I don’t remember the details to be fair.

I’m pretty sure that stopped working months ago…

You’ve probably been running out of date containers.

Partially based on relations between the countries and also if they think people from that country are likely to stay illegally.

If two countries are close politically, they’ll often have a visa waiver for each other, such as Canada/US. These citizens can cross into either country anytime without reason, usually for 1-6 months.

Then you’ll often see countries that are close politically but with a large wealth/standard of living disparity. A lot of times the citizens from the richer country are free to enter the poorer one with generous time limits, while the citizens from the poorer country have a lot more restrictions. Sometimes they have visa free zones near the border but would need to apply for a visa to go further or stay longer, but the visa isn’t too hard to obtain.

Then if your countries are hostile (or even neutral but with an extreme wealth/standard of living gap) then you’ll find it extremely hard to get a visa and you’ll be basically interrogated about the purpose of your visit and likely denied anyway.

I feel like there’s probably hundreds who post at least once a month

Saw it from KSC actually, was great.

Lemmy’s been stable and perfectly enjoyable for years.

I’d like to see it grow but even if it doesn’t I’m cool with that.

Everything was pointing Mastodon until Bluesky came. And guess what? Turns out the problem is and always has been corporations and centralized ownership.

I believe it’s three instances that were picked for the moment, including mine (I’m the admin) which has been going for nearly 3 years. I think their logic is to spread people out from the big instances.

I would want to know the answer to questions such as: (1) are there multiple people on the instance admin team, (2) are they well-funded, since a negative answer to either of those might mean that the server disappears six months from now, which is a major inconvenience.

I mean I think most people ending up on that page probably don’t even know to ask. They may have no familiarity with fediverse software or what the hell an instance is. They just want to sign up to this reddit alternative they heard about.

It’s a hard balance for sure.

It hasn’t changed too much. It was wild for a hot minute and then mellowed out. Some people feared it failed but it just stayed steady year after year.

Yep that was a change a while back. Choice makes some people think there’s too much effort involved so the first recommendation is a random “general” server. You can still see the list if you want.

Infuse is great…

If you pay. I’d love an alternative tho
