You ain't wrong. The level of arrogance stinks. Especially when the author put effort into documenting the sources etc.
There do appear to be a lot of these know-it-all-but-contribute-little types around.
Maybe a few are missing, but simply asking, and I'm sure they'll provide. If someone wants a better build system, they could volunteer to do it themselves.
Lemmy.world is quite right wing. A reasonably large proportion of insufferable folk. Better off with Hexbear if you're a communist or BeeHaw is another option. Blahaj also an option.
Not immediately. It's more of a warning about throwing short term resources on to get quick results. However, under resourcing and overworking staff does not exactly lead to speedy development.
The key point was previously. It's not like this is their first attempt. They know the work that goes into this and they know what their aims were long ago.
If everyone you look at is trash, either they are, or you are. You'd need some self-awareness and comprehension of the history of Lemmy (including the fact that Lemmy.ml was the main instance before the influx, and after, Lemmy.world had major reliability issues for a while). Many people ended up on ml and don't really suffer the red scares.
The amount of "I got banned off ml for saying x. Didn't realise it was as bad as Reddit which I also got banned off multiple times". I mean if folks are getting banned of a right wing cess pool and a left wing instance, is the issue the instances, or them.
True, but it probably won't work. Unless the browser pulls them in as plugins and becomes modular. Most are trying to give a rich web experience out of the box and I'm not sure users will accept different programs for different things.
I really like Gemini as an idea and hope it finds it's groove for many, but lots of mainstream users may not like it and the ad industry that people are using to fund there sites certainly won't.
For many years AMD was uncompetitive compared to Intel / Nvidia. Intel had 80% of the market at one point. It probably would have died off if it wasn't for folk that wanted Linux compatibility. Many run FOSS because of privacy. Linux is a key part of that.
But they are forks and they rely on Firefox development. Using them is fine, but with Mozilla funding and keeping up with browser development, they'd be poor
Its a bit like Brave taking Chromium, changing a few lines and saying "we built a browser".
I'm assuming because they don't have those AI engineers. I don't agree with this or AI, but diversification isn't something that can be ignored.
They need to focus on browser and bet on things that could succeed in the future. Winding down those bets that failed (like 3d visual worlds) is sensible.
Of the 60 they are laying off, how many of those work on Firefox?
They can also use Yahoo or Bing as default for money.
The other option is diversify your revenue. Which is likely where the ad stuff comes in. If they can do that in a privacy respecting way with a facility to opt out, I have no objections. The loss of the biggest open source chromium alternative is massive and unthinkable.
For all the flaws of Mozilla, no one has forked, done better and put it out of business. It's easier to run it behind a keyboard with zero responsibility.
