I never needed more than 4G on the go. I wouldn't mind 5G but I won't pay extra for it especially because the data caps are always too low.

The problem is that it will take ages for them to get any adoption in a new browser. Firefox used to be a big player and then chrome came along. Now most of the people don't even try Firefox anymore. I still hear a lot of "Firefox is slow" sentiment even though it isn't.

I know. I mixed engines and browsers. I was too lazy to find out the engine names of opera, edge and ie.

The problem isn't Edge in itself. It is good if there are many browsers. But when Javascript became more than just a play thing, all of a sudden browser slowly moved to chromium as an engine. There used to be Opera, IE, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Chrome with each their own browser engine. Now there is only Chromium/Blink, Safari and Firefox left. Google is way too powerful with their marketshare. They constantly try to implement features that are bad for users.

Please use Firefox if you can!

More than the company that literally is a for profit that makes a browser that kneecaps adblocking and puts an ad targeting protocol onto the Browser?

Nope. I still would not want to go back to school. Ever! Fuck exams! Fuck school!

It is still on Meta servers.

I really think it is connected to the fact that many managers never had to think about how long something takes and how much work they actually need out of someone. It used to be, that if you stare at your screen from 9-5 you probably did all the work you could. But now they can't see you stare at the screen and they fear they don't get all the work out of you. For the first time management has to figure out how much work they need instead of going by time spent in the office. That scares them.

The userbase is not that important with activity pub. If the features are good they can grow slowly and still enjoy the whole fediverse. Of course it is important to have users at all. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to put work on the software.

Graphics fidelity is getting really great.

You don't understand: it is not good if something is popular. Then there are people outside my bubble and they ruin it.

The great thing is that if a lot of people like Mastodon they can use it and if you don't like it you can use something differenent and you will still be able to communicate. That's the whole point.
