  • Well I suppose the question really is; how many Firefox iOS/iPad OS are there in the EU and does that amount of users make it worth maintaining another 1-2 apps for the EU market, while dealing with Apple’s shenanigans? Like Firefox Browser for iOS and iPad, as well as Firefox Focus are already 2 apps, if you want to replace the back-end specifically for the EU you’d have to maintain that back-end, deal with Apple working against you, and maintain separate versions of those apps specifically for the EU.

    It’s worth noting that Firefox for iOS is already leaps and bounds behind Firefox for Android in terms of UX. There are features missing that they could add regardless of whether they are using WKWebView or not, but they haven’t, either because Apple doesn’t want competition, or because they don’t consider the Firefox browser on iOS to be particularly high priority.

    If the latter, why on Earth would they port Gecko to iOS/iPad OS when a vanishingly small subset of users might use it? I am a European Firefox user, but I don’t use Firefox on iOS because the UX compared to Safari is incredibly lacklustre. Switching the back-end to Gecko wouldn’t do anything to fix that.





  • Because the quality of compost that human bodies make isn’t the main topic covered. The first video is a general discussion on human composting, as well as a bit of an interview of Katrina Spade, and a walkthrough of the process. The second video is a discussion/update on where human composting as an alternative way to dispose of bodies currently is in terms of legality in the U.S.

    I shared the videos because Caitlin Doughty is a fun person, and the work she does is important and a lot of her videos are very interesting. I shared the videos because I thought that others might benefit also.


  • I don’t know if you’re serious or not. Here’s the exact timestamp where it is discussed, and the source for the claim that humans make alright but unspectacular compost is Dr. Lynne Carpenter-Boggs of WSU.

    It’s worth noting that Caitlin Doughty is a certified mortician, and the person she’s interviewing, Katrina Spade, is the driving force behind that particular human composting facility. They both, together with a slew of other people, have campaigned to make human composting legal in New York and California.

    So it’s not some weird troll BS, these are professionals discussing their work, which at least for Katrina is human composting, and Caitlin, dead bodies in general.
