I'm not petty enough to give up on their free games. I just claim them in the browser to avoid dealing with their launcher.

But it's important to note that, if their UX is so terrible that people avoid their launcher like the plague, they get fewer chances to tempt users into buying anything. If the sales are low, most developers won't even bother listing their games on EGS. It's a death spiral.

I find EGS launcher to be incredibly slow, so I don't even bother claiming their free games using it. I use the browser instead. The annoying part is EGS launcher will prompt my 2FA if I don't open it at least monthly, which is also too much of a bother.

What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if it's the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trump's or the Republicans' support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply don't care—some even like Elon more for being gutsy.

If that's all they've got on Elon, then he's sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social media's attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.

Yeah, because if he's indeed a nazi, he's pretty incompetent at converting people into nazism. Some politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris have done a hand gesture that resembles the nazi salute in their political rallies, but nobody at the time screamed they were dog whistling nazi symbology. Raising one's hand to salute the audience is just a natural gesture, not some intricate gesture that's exclusive to a bonafide nazi apologist.

I use Firefox as my main browser on Android, and all apps that invoke a WebView do so using Firefox's rendering engine, with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader working seamlessly. So, maybe this info about Firefox for Android lacking WebView support is outdated?

Exemple after clicking a link on Twitter/X:

You never know what the political world has in store. Before Alexandre de Moraes, doing blatant preventive censorship was unthinkable. When he made this practice into the "new normal", he radicalized the right even more, and they might turn to dirty tricks to get to him.

Brazil's dictator-judge Alexandre de Moraes only had free reign last year to do what he did because the US used to have a living corpse as the president. Now, with Orange-Man-Bad as president, I don't know if the same judge would have the guts to block X nationwide again. Especially with Trump showing he's not afraid to impose tariffs on a whim. And it's also apparent that Trump hears what Elon has to say, and Elon is hungry for revenge. The judge only needs to step out of the line for Elon to retaliate.
