    Losing your ad blocker on chrome is “just under” software designed to kill people? Lol really? Oh the oppression

      Sure it won’t kill people like programming drones, but it is still unethical and would affect ~5 billion people negatively.

        Right, but you said “just under”. There’s a preeetty fuckin wide gap between blocking ad blockers and dropping bombs guy.

          1. It’s not just ad blockers that is m issue with this. Read Mozilla’s post for a bunch of valid concerns.
          2. If you read my reply there is a comma prior to the just which makes a pause if it makes it better you could read it as [it’s] just under… Either way I am not trying to make the wide gape you are referring to, I was simply stating it as a matter of fact more ethical then programming for military use but still unethical.

            I’m not saying concerns aren’t valid, I just took your comment to be calling it almost comparable to military software.

            “…, it’s just under…” means the same thing, but I think you mean “it’s just under” as in “although, it’s under” rather than “just” being a measurement?
