My Linux Distro came with Firefox preinstalled, so I never had to use Edge either :)

I haven’t used a web browser made by Microsoft in 20 years, since I leaned how to create a web page. I saw how Microsoft was trying to take over the web by leveraging their monopoly to enforce their non-standards compliant crap.

I even took an A- over an A+ on that project because I refused to code a version of the site that would work better under IE. I just put a disclaimer at the bottom of the page saying that it was 100% standards compliant and if anyone experienced an issue viewing the page they should consider a upgrading their web browser.

I understand the Edge is supposed to be better than IE and more standards compliant or whatever, but given their history coupled with their anti-privacy practices, it makes any browser made by Microsoft a non starter for me.

I ment alternative news, not mainstream, that should be obvious.

How would that be obvious when it was all over mainstream news?

I don’t live in the banana republic, even there the right wing Dem party and lib media fully supported her.

I don’t live in a “Banana Republic” either and I’m not sure that has anything to do with my claim about US News.

This is literally my statement: " It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance "

Yeah, I get that now that you have clarified. Did you expect me to divine the future to learn what you meant before I replied initially?

And it does contradict your “it’s bcs she’s a teenager now”.

Jesus fucking Christ. For the THIRD (3rd) time now, she is NOT a teenager any longer. She aged, just like everyone else did. Time continued to pass for her. She ‘grew up’. She is now 22 years old, which is NOT a teenager. Now that she is 22 years old, she is no longer considered a Teen. She was born in 2003. 2025-2003 = 22 years old. I’m not sure how much more plainly I can say the same thing.

Do you normally have this hard of a time comprehending the English language?

If you knew about her still being in the news, your statement about how you never hear about her anymore makes little sense.

She’s not a teenager any longer, that was my point. It was fairly unusual for a 15 year old to be so outspoken and articulate about the problem, which is why she used to get a lot of coverage.

Now she is just one young lady among millions who are outspoken about the issue, and the only thing that really distinguishes her from her peers is that she got famous for it at a young age.

Almost all mainstream news in the US is right wing, and I was clearly speaking about why they don’t report on her as much now as they originally did.

I’m sure that her anti capitalist stance has a lot to do with her not being in the news as much, nothing I said contradicts that.

From the way you worded your original statement it seemed like you were saying that the reason you don’t hear from her now was because she wised up and stopped doing it, not that she realized capitalism was the problem and that caused the media to stop reporting on her.

Now that I know what you meant it’s clear we are on the same side of the issue, so I’m not sure why you are insisting that I’m ‘completely wrong’ about it.

I generally agree with your point (although I think we can hold corporations accountable and make whatever changes to our lifestyle that will help at the same time) but

There’s a reason you don’t hear about little Greta anymore, she got wise.

She was in the news just last month for trying to get humanitarian aid to Palestine. She was on a ship that tried to bypass Israel’s naval blockade and the Israelis seized the ship and it’s cargo and eventually deported the activists.

She’s still very active in her environmental activism as well.

You many not hear about her as much now that she’s a young woman and not a teenager, but your implication that she ‘got wise’ is incorrect. The mainstream media doesn’t like to report on her unless they can somehow make her look bad, because they don’t want to remind people that climate change is happening or encourage young people to follow her lead.
