Might I suggest before you simply react you take a look at things?

For example, compare the following two articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfD

https://grokipedia.com/page/Alternative_for_Germany

Which of the two do you find more informative?  Which of the two 
presents an unbiased position and includes multiple views of the AfD? 
If a foreigner such as I wanted to know more about the AfD which of the 
two articles would you suggest be read?

Musk has stated many times that his intent for AI is that above all it 
should be truth seeking.  Which of the two articles is more true?

Getting really off topic for this news group, but Musk's bias's are well 
known and evident in what he has done to twitter. To me the Grokipedia 
article seems more like propaganda then the wiki article.
It is really going to depend on your world view which article you feel 
is best and any discussion here is not going to change peoples world 
view so best to stick with SeaMonkey, both development and user 
problems. It is something that transcends political views, a wonderful 
Suite.

맞습니다/You're right.

I've been here since Netscape 4.7, and I've really loved the SeaMonkey 
suite; I've built my email and browsing experience around it for more 
than 20 years. But lately we haven't had enough resources (funding and 
developers) to keep up with current Internet trends, and I feel really 
sad. I wish I were a programmer who could help, but I'm not; at best, 
I'm a power user. So I'm watching an old friend's decline, helpless to 
stop it. :-(( I long for the good old days when SM was a cutting-edge 
option that I could recommend to my friends.

Ditto!!

When I started on the Internet in 1996, my then ISP gave me two 5.25 
inch floppies, one had the Windows dialer stuff on it and the other had 
Netscape Navigator Ver 0.9 (i.e. Beta Version) which was just a Browser.

Went on from Netscape Navigator to Netscape Communicator (Browser, 
Mail/News & IRC).

Along the way, I've also migrated from Windows to MageiaLinux and I'd be 
there on Ver 10.0 .... except, it seems due to lack of Developers there 
as well, they only have Ver 9.0 available for download.

Still Live in Hope!!

Elon Musk was born in South Africa, you ignorant troll.

I do not have a Google account.  I do not want one.  Google is where
privacy dies.

However, I can do a Google search via SeaMoneky by declining to login
while spoofing Firefox.

By the way, I often accept all cookies; but my cookies.sqlite file has
the status "read only".

Some Republican officials have denounced the assassination
of Charlie Kirk as a conspiracy by liberal Democrats.  Why
then is the attempted kidnapping of the Democrat governor
of Michigan, the shooting of a Democrat state senator of
Minnesota, and the assassination of the Democrat speaker
of the Minnesota state assembly not denounced as a
conservative Republican conspiracy?

Only slightly tongue in cheek, I have to ask, "What is this google
account of which you speak?"  Some of us regard having a google account
in the same domain as eating from dumpsters: Can imagine having to do
it but never willingly.

Agreed, although I see it as a bit more sinister.
