I downloaded Firefox and tried to use it on my PC but it absolutely refuses to auto-fill my name or address any time I buy anything even though I have it set in settings and all my autofill data is there.

gently caress you, Firefox.

firefox users: if you go to google maps and switch it to satellite view, then try to drag the street view guy onto a road, is there a delay of like 30 seconds before it switches over to street view? this has happened to me after the most recent update and it's driving me nuts. tried safe mode, clearing cookies/cache etc. and it still happens. starting to think google is loving with me for not using chrome

No, it's almost instantaneous for me, and I'm using Firefox 89.0.2, with uBlock Origin, Containers, and a handful of other add-ons and extensions.

Maybe one of your add-ons is slowing you down?

Did anyone ever explicitly explain what the button the OP was angry about is? I haven't seen Chrome in two years.

Half of this book is a very sweet and very erotic love story between two men that delighted me. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned yet that a little more than halfway through, this book becomes the most misogynistic, fascist piece of science fiction I've ever read.

I have no real problems with the book's first half, which deftly uses the metaphor of the forbidden relations between a human and an android to leave its characters free of guilt about the eroticism of male bodies. At its best, it dwells more on the effortless joy and beauty of two people coming to desire each other, and it does it well, with a mild science fiction background and some slight romance-novel cheesiness. Nader's writing is fairly fanciful in tone, perhaps a touch overwrought at times, but this is a book about strong emotions and powerful men, so it seems fair. It's truly erotic at times, often lighthearted but never vapid, and has a delightful touch of the surreal to it- you feel that the Cabin and Chrome and Vortex's relationship is so dreamlike, it's bound to end.
And end it does, in the worst possible way. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned yet that a little more than halfway through, this book becomes the most misogynistic, fascist piece of science fiction I've ever read short of Spinrad's masterful satire "The Iron Dream", and this book isn't satirical. My enjoyment of this book turned to disgust within the space of a single page when the curtain was pulled up on the love story of Chrome and Vortex, and Nader gave vent to a bit of exposition worthy of a Tom Metzger: The tyrannical society that rules the Earth came about through government-enforced equality. In particular, women's equality, and this led to the lowering of standards and improper uncontrolled breeding, creating a "Garbage World" of degenerates. Rond H'Lokk talks about how S.O.R.A.'s encouragement of women to struggle for the place of men leads only the "lower brain levels" to mate. "First came the S.O.R.A.'s lowering of all standards, its insistence that all were equal in everything. Next, it's vast propaganda campaign urging indiscriminate mating..."
The S.O.R.A. is, of course, a technocratic bureaucracy seemingly staffed mostly by spiritually-hideous females bent on destroying the bond between pure, noble, chiseled, bronzed men. All that's lacking is an explicit shot at miscegenation, but even that is implied by Jamison's talk of "indiscriminate mating".
Lucky for the suffering citizens of planet ZOG, the "avenging angels" are here to stand between them and all-powerful future-commies. The Warriors are like a Nazi brotherhood of truth-speaking swordwielding beefcakes, their society seems to be sort of like an Evolan "neo-traditionalist" brotherhood or a Germanic sworn warrior guard. This sort of misogynistic "warrior brothers" ethos is something that echoes through the fascist worldview as well as the underworld of the old-school gay imagination: finally, a world without women, where petty female minds can be swept aside so that men can get to the business of GLORY.
With his conservative-paranoid setting architecture fully in view, I found the rest of Nader's book really quite impossible to enjoy. Perhaps it's just me, since I have strong political opposition to it, but I found the rest of the book to be flat, dull, and totally tiresome.

Really disappointing. The book gets two stars only for its beautiful first half.
