As a result of that - and NOT GOING FOR this campaign - you're going to end up with some sites performing fine unless you pay more. It'll be like Cable TV packages all over again. Well done, fucktards. The internet won't be what it is, in another ten or fifteen years. Just remember to look back over your shoulder and blame yourselves for it.
I think this is key, people are conflating "Mozilla is allowing the option of running a separate, external, close sourced, plugin" (which as you point out is no different than Flash/Silverlight) as being "OMG Mozilla is closed source now and ever single webpage has DRM now!!11"
I thought the GP's premise was people saying "We're going to talk about this unrelated issue rather than the current one". I made no calls as to the importance of either.
I think GP's point was people will continuously talk about something from over a year and a half ago and completely ignore whatever the current topic was. Kind of like what you just did.
This will prevent people from driving at a high rate of speed in the left lane, slamming on the brakes and swerving into the right lane just so they don't have to wait in line like everyone else or because they wanted to get one car ahead.
This will never fly because it's everyone's right to drive like they want.
If I want to drive on the sidewalk, it's my right!
P.S. I am completely and unequivocally opposed to this nonsensical crap being mandated for cars. If you can't pay attention to where you're driving, you shouldn't be driving. We need to stop coddling people and let them find out the hard way why rules of the road and safe driving methods exist.
That implies the only ones getting harmed from unsafe drivers are the unsafe drivers themselves.

Translation: "Anything new is bad. Once something 'works' it can never be improved upon"
So the sale price of software is inversely proportional to its quality?
Trademarks are a whole other ballgame. While they may need reformation too, let's not lump them together with patents.
XP got extended for years, twice. What would be 'well enough'? Forever?
No; Warner Bros. characters
The meanest, toughest, rip-roarin-est, Jony Ive-est OS whatever packed a XNU kernel!
Not having sex at all prevents the implantation of an embryo. Think of all those virgins committing abortions every day!
You really think people will stop using Netflix rather than stop using Firefox?

Just like how Google was going to drop h.264 in favor of pushing its WebM

Internet Explorer doesn't look like Chrome.
because it's ~on a phone/computer~
Except for the part that some of the code in XP isn't Microsoft's to relinquish.
So the only websites that should exist are ecommerce ones?
It's not increasing the number of ads, just how they are displayed.
Because FOSS projects never get abandoned, or go through major compatibility and/or UI changes...
If Windows 8(.1) were the problem, then all these XP users would have upgraded to Windows 7 when it came out or shortly thereafter. They didn't.
...and in some alternative universe Ubuntu is using Wayland and people are complaining that Canonical is using someone else's work.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Good job being an example of the infighting that GP is talking about.
Can someone from the FuckBeta team explain what exactly is wrong with the beta? It just smells of I HATE CHANGE.
I want faster horses!

Not saying I'm in favor of this either though.
