You'll run out of bullets real fast and odds are you're absolutely useless in a heated situation, just like all of your big-wallet peers, so while you may hit one person, the next 20 will tear you apart, literally.
Don't underestimate the brutal efficiency of a raging mob.
Solution: Raise the goddamn minimum wage, so work pays a living wage.
"Oh no, the so-called poor are not poor at all, 99% of them even have fridges!"
People who say the poor aren't actually poor, never had to pinch every penny themselves. They never had to choose between not having enough money for bus fare or going to bed hungry.
XUL was a good idea at the time, but it was also a horrible roadblock for performance and especially security. Something needed to be done, and FF did so.
That is not specifically related to FF57, if you look at the statistics it simply follows the regrettable trend of Chrome gaining ground: https://www.w3schools.com/brow...
I migrated from Chrome back to Firefox when Quantum came out, and I absolutely do not regret it at all. It's finally a fantastic browser again. And no, I'm not a bot nor a paid astroturfer or whatever.
Torrents and Usenet and IRC aren't being used at all for piracy anymore, they're completely dead technologies which no one is even thinking about using anymore. Not worth spending any time at all going after them. Just go all-in against illegal streaming, which is at least 100% of all piracy now and in the future.
So what you're saying is that diamonds actually do have intrinsic value. They are highly valued in industry.
That some marketers got the brilliant (ha!) idea to overhype them as gemstones is a completely different matter. The original statement was that diamonds weren't useful, unlike gold and oil, but diamonds do have tons of very good uses, just like gold.
They do have value, especially for industrial uses (very similar to gold, in that respect). Diamond powder abrasives are widely used.
According to Wikipedia (sourced from minerals.net) around 80% of mined diamonds are unsuitable for use as gemstones, and are used in industrial applications, where diamond is valued for its hardness and thermal conductivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
There are also a lot of synthetic diamonds produced for these purposes, where appearance doesn't matter much as long as the physical properties are correct.
As much as I love the connectedness of the internet, I also kind of miss the old days of DOS gaming, Win3.11, the early days of Linux and hardware without built-in backdoors ala Intel ME.
Maybe it's just nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses, but life was a lot less complicated then.

Industry will pay. You know those taxes they keep dodging right now.
Pay your taxes or GTFO.

Let me guess, you also graduated top of your class at Navy SEALS?

Jesus christ on a horse, shut the fuck up already.
Try again, this time without the pointless name-calling.
Come on, I know you can do it.
Which addons do you actually need, that aren't available in FF57+?
You're welcome to keep using an inherently insecure browser with extremely limited support for multithreading.
XUL was a good idea at the time, but it was also a horrible roadblock for performance and especially security. Something needed to be done, and FF did so.
Blatant Chrome fanboyism and shilling on display. You don't just reverse a downward trend instantly. It takes time.

It's almost cute how you detractors try to frame it as if no one likes or wants FF57+, but by all accounts it's been an absolutely massive success.
Quantum (and all of the related improvements) is a gigantic step forward for Firefox, and one that should have happened years ago.
When it's his turn in the barrel, he'll be a screaming pirate.

Extensions that are relevant to many
How many, and which extensions?
And then you go in the sauna and come out a steaming pirate!

A low-voltage or even ultra low-voltage i7, mind. A desktop i5 absolutely wipes the floor with those.
Well, he specifically mentioned an SSD, so I assume that won't be a problem.
I bought an i7 16Gb, 512MB SSD Lenovo laptop 13.9" screen for $1050. This is as powerful as my desktop system.
No it isn't, unless your desktop is low-end.
The laptop runs a lower-power CPU, and it will only run at full tilt for a short while before going into thermal throttling.
More like 20-30 years, at our current rate.

If you deleted a file, it must be because you really don't want it around anymore. Storage is cheap, why delete anything unless absolutely necessary?
