@da@mastodon.technology Oh, that's totally fine. I never even knew that tab was in the dev tools until now.

The new Fitbit Sense looks incredible. Fitbit probably is getting one more device purchase from me before Google’s acquisition, which I still hope comes with government stipulation that health data always remain separate from its ad targeting data.

@angrysheep@mastodon.online @da@mastodon.technology In retail, Firefox would be considered the primary product. That's what people come to buy—only in this case, it's free because of search engine default sales.

Mozilla's new products are upsells that people purchase to go along with the reason they're buying anything in the first place.

Upsells typically increase margin, only in Mozilla's case, it's the only source of revenue from users. Margin on upsells typically is greater, which would help Mozilla be less dependent on Goog.

Also lord of lords is quite the demotion from king of kings. Why both? And at the same time?

If Christians updated their metaphors about Jesus from feudalism to capitalism, Jesus would be like multinational conglomerate CEO of multinational conglomerate CEOs instead of king of kinds/lord of lords.

“13 Reasons Why” S4 was rough. Given finale, I would not recommend the series beyond first season. Lots of bi and gay representation and CBT techniques written in, but writers shoved in every tragedy possible at the end and police brutality handled as “just a few bad apples”.
