Because its arguably worse than smoking cigarettes overall.

The health effects aren’t researched enough for a proper comparison between the two, but at least short term studies, while being inconclusive, show that vaping is just as damaging as smoking. The glycerine based liquid can damage your lungs more than smoking would. And while cigarettes have a lot more different carcinogens, what matters more is the amount.

In addition to that, vapes taste a lot better than cigarettes, which removes the first hurdle that smoking usually has. And this isn’t only relevant when talking about children, its the exact same thing for adults. Most smokers I know startet smoking more when they switched to vapes.

Then there is the whole issue with one time vapes and batteries in landfills

Asking an existing userbase for any kind of change will pretty much always result in a no.

If the project requires minimal resources and doesn’t have a major downside, then implementing your own version before asking is fine.

They didn’t serve a bunch of ex alcoholics a full bottle of whisky, all they did is make you scroll twice on your mouse wheel.

You’re using Wayland

It works fine for everything else. Besides, X11 doesn’t even support two monitors with different refresh rates.

You fell for the superhuman refresh rate hype

And you fell for the good old “humans can only see in 35Hz”.

Good for you. I still can’t get Wayland to support more than one 144Hz display.

Everyone already hates what is coming but its happening regardless

This is wrong and that’s the main issue. Most people don’t hate it, they are mostly indifferent and some may even think its a good thing. Most won’t notice any difference.

They actively thank Google for keeping their entire location data (maps timeline), why should it be any different with microslop keeping their files “safe”

They use the immigration law as a thinly veiled attempt at a disguise, that’s about it.

They target anyone that looks remotely non-american, detain them without reason or question, search their property without a warrant and often enough deport them without their due process all while never identifying themselves as federal agents. The Italian mob works in a more official manner than these idiots.

And even if they enforce a law, it doesn’t matter if everything they do to enforce it is against the law. They are terrorists that sometimes happen to catch the right people.

At least from an outside perspective it seems like the consequence are inevitable. Sitting around only delays everything and increases the overall suffering.

Aber dann müsste man sich ja selbst darum kümmern. So kann mam mit dem Finger auf MS zeigen und sich von den unterbezahlten Indern im Support Zentrum helfen lassen.

Und das beste kommt erst noch: Es kostet ja nur das doppelte, also ist noch etwas Geld für Bonuszahlungen an Merzchen & Co übrig.

If you want privacy, then the Tor browser wins, after that is mullvad, then a lot of Firefox forks, then firefox itself, then vanadium, then ungoogled chromium and maybe after that is brave.

Its somewhat decent I’m terms of security features in comparison to all the Firefox derivates, bit that’s simply cause its based on chromium.

Its only real feature is the ease of use which makes it a viable alternativ for non tech savy people that aren’t comfortable with the additional settup that the Firefox forks take to be on the same level.
