Why you should use Firefox:

1. Freedom from Chromium/Blink monopoly
2. FOSS web browser
3. Fast and customizable
4. Great UI/UX
5. VERY stable compared to a lot of Chrome clones
6. Supports extensions that clean up the web and block ads very well
7. If it feels too slow, try betterfox's fastfox user script
8. idk I just find it cool
9: it has a fox mascot (I added this one because of popular demand and because I completely forgot about it)

genuinely think discord has done way more harm than good and its only for 2 reasons

-discord server culture and the way it operates means it's rife with child abuse and exploitation, and just generally promotes really unhealthy interactions and attention-seeking behaviour

-the amount of people who dont upload their files anywhere else and treat it like it's a forum or file host (which can just be entirely deleted and lost in the blink of an eye)

RLB: No, seriously, make a webcomic. I published my very first one at 40, it does not matter if you're "still young enough" to start, who cares. Make a webcomic!

Ten years ago I was telling ppl they should make a webcomic and a lot of things have changed online in that time but you know what, even now, even on today's enshittified internet, I still say Make a webcomic anyway

@eri @The_T i too am a zeux fan, but it wasnt made by epic megagames (technically zzt wasnt either but potomac computer systems was the same company anyway so shoosh)

If you have any interesting insights or anecdotes, please let me know! I have just under a month to prepare.
