So here’s my thoughts on it. Hip-Hop has had a profound effect across modern culture and that has caused aspects of the sound to bleed into other cultures. When you look at bands like RATM, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, you could make the argument that they wouldn’t exist without Hip-Hop, but that doesn’t make them Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is an incredibly welcoming, culture, which is why there’s so many culture vultures like Post Malone, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Pink, Childish Gambino and even Eminem. There’s this inherent idea that it’s okay to use Hip-Hop to get your big break and then you can just say bye and move on to make whatever your true passion is. Or in the case of Eminem, that you’re free to act like a gatekeeper all while trying to recycle the same sound with the same concepts and yet be silent whenever the community needs you. Like if Eminem had been as vocal about artists getting paid properly as Taylor Swift is, a lot of young artists would be in a better position. To mention Flint and the various social issues. But I digress. With Hip-Hop, we like to see people succeed and we love to try different things, but there’s some fundamental things that make something Hip-Hop and while that’s debated, you’ll find that the world is agreed, including the members of RATM, that they’re not a Hip-Hop band.

I believe there’s more appropriate communities for RATM than HHH.

Not a fan, but it’s merged already, so meh.

Have always said, charge me £10 a month for the football and I’ll happily pay for it.

Having taken a butchers at your post history, you clearly have an issue with Mozilla/Firefox and that’s fine. Each to their own. But I’m neither Mozilla nor Firefox, so if you have an issue with them, take it up with them and leave me out of your crusade.

Is there a chance that this makes organisations move to Linux?

Do you think proposals are just magic’d up? Do you think they don’t have to show that they work? Do you even think they’re the first to implement this proposal? Because Google already implemented it.

And for the record

[Mozilla] Together with our co-authors from Meta, we’ve recently proposed IPA to the Private Advertising Technology Community Group, or PATCG. PATCG is a group in the W3C specifically formed to work on improving advertising without compromising on privacy.

The rules allow it and I grew up in the New Edition era… as you were.

Saving £3000 should always be applauded.
