  • Funny, we get more complaints about DuckDuckGo browser than anything else, and that’s one of the few we don’t test on. I know this because I make it a point to have someone from CS tell me about consistent pain points users are having. I wonder how many complaints about Firefox not working your customer service team is getting daily and you just don’t hear about it because they’ve been told to tell users “just say Firefox isn’t a supported browser and to try installing Chrome.”

    You should ask someone in CS. Whichever agent bullshits the least (not the manager) - you might learn something.

    Almost 3/10 people accessing your sites are using Firefox. All those “images not loading right or whatever” are probably blatant to them, making them think “wow, what an absolute shit website.”

    3 out of 10.




  • At that point its out of your hands. Once the users have fully decided only one browser is all they’re going to use, because most websites only develop for that browser (gee sound familiar?) then whoever owns that browser owns the web. That’s the point people are trying to get you to understand and you aren’t getting.

    its not like we wont notice a shift like that. It would be very easy to adapt

    This has has happened before. It took over a decade to get people to start using other browsers. Your little company can’t wave a magic wand and make the entire internet ecosystem shift, even though you were part of the cause.

    Firefox market share is going up. But because small vendors not testing on it, it’s preventing its adoption. So you’re letting Google own the web.













  • It’s possible that it is a self-worth issue and lack of self-love. Overconfidence is a defence mechanism, and not being able to take compliments is a sign that you don’t truly, deep down, believe people are being honest about them.

    However it can be quite complex and let’s say you have trust issues… an example is, let’s say you didn’t get many real compliments and were bulled in school and every time you wore a ratty shirt or didn’t brush your hair, your bully ‘complemented’ it in front of others. Now you’re primed to distrust complements and believe on a subconscious level that they are malicious.

    Compliments are often used as a way to manipulate people, so if you’ve dealt with a manipulator before, now genuine comments may trigger you to have your guard up… not an easy place to be when trying to genuinely accept compliments.




  • Also if you don’t exercise and get good cardio in daily, anxiety and sleep will be issues by default. It’s crazy how sedentary some of us are. If I don’t exercise for a week, I get massive anxiety, am unreasonably tired during the day but can’t sleep well, and the next few days my pores are dripping sweat, until I get back on cardio track and go back to not sweating much.

    Cardio is as evolutionarily necessary and inbuilt for humans as pooping and sleeping, and – funny thing if you’ve experienced a panic attack before, you just feel like you have to run. It’s insane how much gunk is cleaned out of your largest bodily organ when you run. From pouring stinky sweat for a couple days to barely sweating. And the sleep, energy and mood quality difference is also insane.

    There are obviously other factors that can cause these issues, but if you don’t exercise and eat right, and you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, lack of energy, and sleep problems… Well, what’s the saying, “if you stink, try a shower before bleach injections.”


    • found the egocentric, ethnocentric American!

    hmmm

    The year 2024 is notable for the large number of elections, with 8 of the world’s 10 most populous nations (Bangladesh, Brazil, India, United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia, Mexico) voting; countries that are home to nearly half of the world’s people will hold elections in 2024. Around 2 billion voters - approximately a quarter of the world’s population - are expected to be heading to the polls this year.

    Stay blissful my friend.

    But yes, American social media platforms are targeted during American elections, so you aren’t ignorant about one thing.
