O, I see. I guess that makes it even more important to support your local baker/butcher/..., if you've still got one. But yeah, that's a shitty situation.

Not American, but I try to buy most of my daily stuff from independent places instead of supermarkets. The social contacts at my local butcher, bakery, vegetable shop, fish shop, ... is also much more enjoyable than stressing in the Colruyt or whatever. And the produce is way better.

Once they get to know you, they often give freebies too, like offcuts to make bouillon. And you get free cooking tips as well!

You're on lemmy.world and I'm on programming.dev, but we can still see each others posts and interact with each other because lemmy.world and programming.dev are federated.

We have daily meetings in the software team just to battle this

As someone from Belgium (a country where there's quite a lot of firearms in the hands of hunters and farmers (especially where I grew up) and where FN Herstalt is located), it sounds absolutely insane to have a shooting range at a school.

Haskell programmers when you tell them the main function isn't pure

If Mozilla were to disappear, Chromium web engine would have a true monopoly. Seeing how bad things are getting with their almost monopoly, I'd like to help avoid that.

I'm not arguing that people are switching to Firefox. I'm only saying that your argument about FF on Linux is just plain wrong.

I also prefer the UI/UX of FF over Chromium based browsers, but that's very subjective of course.

Isn't Webview just a proprietary Android thingy? I still don't like it, but that sounds pretty isolated to me.

I've been using FF (and Thunderbird) for about 5 years now on my dual core old laptop running Gentoo, and it's always run pretty smooth. Especially when they switched to the Quantum web engine.
