You're being pretty grim. Hello is fucking awesome, and while I don't use Pocket it isn't the end of the world. Firefox isn't Lynx, but even as a Unix guy I enjoy and appreciate it. I also appreciate that they're trying to be more attractive to the masses, which is societally beneficial.

As you do, I have a lot of programs and extensions installed on my machine. How about you install them all on yours? Come on! Don't be grim! They are fucking awesome and if you don't use them it's not like it is the end of the world :^)

It's funny, one of the other top comments here is about how many features Firefox is removing. Vital, core stuff, like setting being able to set custom user agents for specific domains...

I think the real reason many people are angry is that their demographic isn't catered to. I'm part of that demographic, and it does annoy me sometimes. However, unlike Debian/systemd, I find the tradeoff definitely worthwhile.

I am grateful for Hello now that MS owns Skype.
