No, in case you wonder, we haven't changed our minds.
@Vivaldi if you want a better web, don’t base your web browser on chromium. We need independent competition.
this was an early design decision when things were less creepy
it's not the end of the world
and perhaps vivaldi can transition, but it's a huge ask, and you know it
in the meantime stop being such a douchebag and show some appreciation for the post above
instead of immediately launching into masturbating your ego over this endless endless "bUt I wAnT pErFeCt" that infests social media, and means absolutely nothing, this lowest common denominator empty whining
@benroyce @YurkshireLad @Vivaldi his comment is still valid and you shouldn't attack him.
his comment is utterly invalid
perfectionism is for immature losers
and i will attack him for it, because it's the dreariest lamest shit. it's the toilet of social media. whiny shitbags endlessly complaining because we haven't achieved purity. never a kind word for good progress, good effort, positive statements
i despise these entitled karens, and they are legion
anything else i can help you with today?
@benroyce @YurkshireLad @Vivaldi You can help the community by stopping insulting random people around the fediverse. That behavior can look pretty toxic. If someone is doing it badly, insulting them doesn't make you better.
i'm calling out their toxicity
"no, you!" is not the genius argument you think it is my best friend
i will certainly not stop calling out this personality disorder of "demand perfect, never be supportive of good work and positive effort" whiny useless shit
you certainly do not have to like that
you are free to mute, block, ignore, etc to your heart's desire
and so welcome to mastodon, and enjoy your stay
@benroyce @YurkshireLad @Vivaldi That person just asked to change their browser engine to something other than Chromium. I don't agree at all, but it's an opinion, while you are attacking his opinion like we were on Twitter. We don't do that here, and yeah, I can block and mute you, as many people can and will do if you keep up this behavior. Welcome to the fediverse also, but stop being so toxic and telling people to just block/mute you. Be constructive and positive. Thanks.
in this life
we are tolerant, except to the intolerant
we are sensitive, except to the insensitive
we are nonviolent, except to the violent
etc
and we are not toxic, except to the toxic
if you are not familiar with the Vivaldi account, or other major accounts, they attract this sort of endless pit of pathetic reply guys: they fill your screen with harsh whiny demands for perfection
never any appreciation
they are toxic shit
and i will call them out on it
@benroyce @H0W25 @YurkshireLad @Vivaldi
Proposing new features or refinements is another way to contribute to a project. Criticism is too, if it is made in a constructive way. Telling someone always that he is perfect and should never change can be terribly damaging in the long run, since it leads to self-complacency, stagnation and even narcissism. Software projects usually have more features to implement and bugs to resolve than resources to do it; but knowing what users demand is always useful.
The toxic criticism is when somebody throws a "Your browser is shit!" or "XYZ is much better!" with no explanation.
He may have started with a 'I love Vivaldi', it would have been nicer, but I think it was implicit somewhat. The irony here is that you have been far more harsher with him than he was in his first comment.
Anyway, I agree that it would be much better if Vivaldi were to have a homemade first class engine, but I'm not sure if the company has enough resources to do that. Pretty sure they would love to. In any case, it would take a long time to do that. About other engines, the only other mature options are Safari and Firefox engines. I don't think depending on Apple would be much better, and the fact is nearly everybody who makes a new browser chooses to use Chrome engine; I'm not sure why, I suspect Firefox's is not nearly as easy to reuse, but I'm only guessing.
@jgg @H0W25 @YurkshireLad @Vivaldi
Well said
I would merely reply that the "no Chromium" in demanding terms without any appreciation is under every post Vivaldi makes
other large accounts also get these sort of endless pointless unhelpful pefectionist criticism without consideration
it's mindless and you're certainly welcome to consider my comment as unnecessary but i will merely say i'm on a trip about it becaise i'm sick of it
