  • That’s an invalid (strikethrough: dictionary) etymology argument, and you know it. To clarify, when I said “antisemitism” I meant “a discriminatory attitude towards Jews” or something along those lines.

    Edit: this is an etymology argument, not a dictionary one; most dictionaries probably agree with me. I don’t know how or why the word antisemitism came to be used to refer to Jews specifically, but surely it’s been this way for most of its history.
    Either way, the most authoritative meaning of a word is that which was intended by the one who uttered it.


















  • Use whatever you want. But do consider if you want to contribute to Google’s monopoly, and if you want to use an open-source browser.

    • Vivaldi Browser is not open source. Better use Brave than that…
    • If you still really hate Firefox, Ungoogled Chromium which is basically Chrome with all the Google stuff removed.
    • All of the above do still contribute to Google’s monopoly, so I would really encourage Firefox or a fork.
    • Barring that, you could also get away with a WebKit browser (like GNOME web, Nyxt). Although WebKit is developed by Apple, it’s still open source and doesn’t look particularly bad. If you’re on a Mac, Safari is an option, but it’s closed source.
