Kids, maybe we are loosing sight of the fact that according to a short term AUS sampling that ditching Basilisk 32bit on Windows has MAYBE impacted a dozen users AT MOST.

And this discussion is being fueled by people who don't even use Basilisk and of those people who for some reason beyond fact or understanding thinks what happens to Basilisk will happen to Pale Moon. Basically a resurgence of an even stranger more illogical version of the "is Basilisk the new Pale Moon?" false perception.

To those I can only say: Stop it, stop it now. It isn't, it's not. You're wrong so stop.

Does it matter? You can't have potental new 32bit users if you don't offer 32bit.

Okay, look.. I know this is an extremely stressful time in the world right now with unprecidented world wide draconian actions being taken because of Covid and we are days away from the start of determining if the most powerful country in the world will stay a republic of freedom or fall into line as just another communist authoritarian state.

I get it.. But to add to the tension and angst by promoting constant contention and conflict over a web browser is just not going to help anyone right now.. So please, knock it off for a while. We can always get back to our mutual petty bickering and righteous indignation later.

K? K.

Obviously very few considering there are no users to speak of using the official version. 32-bit is also increasingly becoming the domain of people who are clinging to XP who are using unofficial hackjobs anyway and not what I spend time and effort on each release cycle to build, test and publish. It's disproportionate to the number of people actually using it so I won't do it anymore.

And that is all.
