that's not what i meant. i meant that the notice will be only thing that happens to formally comply with the law and everyone will be able to download the firefox "on their own responsibility"

like when eu banned the classic lightbulbs, there was a discussion in my country because some idiots felt that "the dictatorship of eu is upon them again"

now these lightbulbs are being sold with the notice "for industrial use only, unsuitable for use in personal homes". every normal person buys led-bulbs and few thousand idiots are happy thinking how they showed them! 😆

Actally about those lightbulbs they are used if you are a machienist because most led lights tends to flicker which could cause stroboscope effect on fast moving parts and sometimes could present effect that something looks like is moving slower or in different direction that is really moving which could be dangerous. But there are also special machienist led bulbs but are more expensive than normal led bulbs. I am not a profesional machienist so sorry if i didnt describe it correctly but my point is that leds (if are not designed for machienist) are not safe in that particular usecase

i am aware of that problem. but the point is that people abuse that fact to continue using it in their living room, where sensible thing would be to just switch to led

Yeah i agree those are stupid especially with todays electricity prices

In some places I think they're sold as heaters now. I mean, traditional light bulbs are effective heaters so why not?

How else am I going to run my Easy-Bake Oven?!

In the US, appliance bulbs are exempt from the new law. Which by the way mandates a lumens per watt threshold, it doesn't explicitly ban incandescent bulbs. If someone could come up with an incandescent that meets the requirement they are free to sell as many as they can make.

Except thats not what mozilla is worried about at all. I suggest improving your reading skills. I've noticed they're causing you issues.

i suggest you do, and when you are at the school, take a writing class while you are at it.

you didn't really do good job explaining what you object to. what exactly is mozilla not worried about?

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

block websites in the browsers themselves.

Its in the first paragraph. So no, a warning wouldn't suffice. Jfc. Read

And yes, I know it's open source and someone can remove the block, but Mozilla and other companies can still be forced to put it there and leave it up to users to figure out. They probably can give vague instructions, but they probably have to avoid too much detail to stay out of legal trouble. What level of understanding do you have of the world outside your parents' house?

so that's... what they are not worried about? that is like whole purpose of the petition. for person sending other to reading class, you really have a problem with that. you don't have to reply to that, welcome to my block list.

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Oh my goodness. Blocking websites in a browser is a lot different than saying "not recommended". I'm telling you what they are worried about versus your dumbass interpretation. Context clues may help you. I had already told you what they're not worried about. I can only assume you're not this dumb and see just trolling in bad faith now.

His argument is you post "this browser is not legal in France" and just ignore their awful laws.

Which probably isn't actually enough. But if you geofence France away that probably would be.
