Uhh I traveled to san Fransisco and there was an Uber booth in mall I was getting some necessities for. The booth dude was like hey come earn some money. I’m not from here , no worries that doesn’t matter, ok well I don’t have a car. That’s fine we can get you sorted on that, it’s a great way to make I little extra money.

No dude I’m not interested.

If you change your mind come back

Thanks for sharing

Hmm thanks, also please massively digress if you would like to.

I interpreted it like 10% is a lot if it’s 10% of a million. That 100,000. So if there’s a million things that crash Firefox that’s a high number.

If Firefox only crashes 10 times a year because it runs that well, 10% or that 1 time it crashes from a bitflip is impressive that the rare bitflip takes up such a high percentage of total crashes because Firefox just doesn’t crash very often.

If your dread is found to be justified that won’t be too surprising, to me, if hardware is getting made less reliable these days thing. Enshitification being the norm, and tech being in everything nowadays

We obviously need more context from Mozilla, but this could be a canary in the mine type situation.

But it would be kind of neat if Firefox became something of a reliable test for bitflipping unintentionally

… I can’t imagine having a browser with hundreds of open tabs. That would tend me of the old days of Netscape Navigator and all the popups and browser add on cancer.

Ahh the nostalgic days of the early Dotcom era. I sometimes miss you geocities

How so?

Didn’t it just highlight how stable the software is?

I assume bitflipping crashes most softwares. If your software is so stable that hardware errors that effect everyone equally(which may be my erroneous assumption I’ll admit) then it is staying that if Firefox is crashing on you, it might be time to run some diagnosis on your hardware.

A litmus test as a browser

You are most likely correct that it’s too early to say. I don’t have a problem conceding that point to you.

I think Reddit did shoot itself in the foot though, regardless of if they are still around. I don’t know that they will ever be able to regain what it has lost.

As a Reddit refugee myself I can say that for me they absolutely fucked over the chance to have me return to their platform, and many if not most of other refugees I’m guessing would share a similar opinion

That’s an absolute failure of all of those products to not provide that environment on their own.

This used to be commonplace

Discord at its best was simply a hangout where you and your friends can talk to each other without needing to be playing the same game.

It became entirely too complicated and bigger than it needed to be. It’s a. Overblown IRC voice chat. And before nitro, it was exactly all it needed to be.

Now it shot itself in the foot like so many others by trying to be something that isn’t what made it great
