  • 1.) Market share is a different number from daily active users. You can have increasing daily active users while losing market share if the market balloons like it did in 2012.

    2.) Mozilla is a nonprofit to begin with. The goal is not to make money on Firefox or any other projects for that matter. The goal is to make the internet better for everyone. Firefox's profitability will never have any real impact on Chairman pay.

  • The Mozilla corporation are whole owned by the Mozilla Foundation... They are the same company. And both are not-for-profit.

  • This graph shows a disingenuous relationship between revenue and the market share of a free and open source project within the walls of a not-for-profit organization. Firefox is not a revenue stream in the traditional sense. In fact, most of Mozilla 's money comes from grants and donations for projects and research they do.

    I get that CEO=EVIL is a viral topic these days but if all you know about Mozilla is that they make the Not Chrome browser, then you should really educate yourself on what it is that Mozilla actually does for the internet. Then you might feel a little better with this pay scale graph.

    That all aside, this graph shows the market share of Mozilla when there were 5 browsers available to the vast majority of users, Internet Explorer, Firefox, chrome, Opera, and safari. It's also before chrome took over the market share from IE at the same time that it pushed out Firefox as the leading browser because chrome was available on the iPhone and was the default browser on Android devices. Hardly a surprise to see that when the internet exploded in users and literally every human being started to carry around a chrome device in their pockets that Mozilla Firefox's market share went down.

  • Cool man, you're still saying two completely different things. You either know what you're doing or you spin your wheels installing windows fresh for an ENTIRE WORK DAY. There is no both.

    Here, since you don't know how to do it efficiently, let me learn you some. I configure my installer using a 3rd party program more often than not but that doesn't make the biggest time difference to me. I use Rufus which gives you the option to preconfigure a local admin profile as well as skip the various check boxes about tracking info. You can also skip use the Rufus app to set up an installer that will work on unsupported CPUs. Easy and fast. Lastly, when you get into the OOBE, before you click anything, shift + f10 pulls up an admin CMD where you can run OOBE/BYPASSNRO to skip the network requirement.

    Windows 11 is virtually the same installation as windows 10 at that point

    By the way, you have not been in IT since before I was born. Come on down off your high horse. 25 years is long enough to be stuck in the old ways. There is still room to learn and plenty of time to choose not to be angry at strangers on the internet.

  • It's not harder to cancel than to sign up though. It's a one or 2 clock process to cancel and a whole lot of card details entering to sign up.

  • Shadowy cabal? They literally list their board of directors on their FAQ...

    Jay Graber; Jeremie Miller, the inventor of Jabber/XMPP; Mike Masnick; and Kinjal Shah.

    What about a group of public figures is a shadowy cabal?

  • You want some ugly crying anime time? Grave of the fireflies. The saddest movie studio Ghibli ever produced. If you don't cry you might want to see a therapist. It's what I show everyone who has ever told me "I don't cry at movies."

  • Turn timers are not for every situation. They use turn timers to turn up the heat on a scenario. Like a bank heist or a time bomb.

  • The military is political. It is literally policy when the military moves. Anything any military does is dictionary terrorism. But terrorism is a nasty word for it so we don't call it that.

  • Jury nullification does not require "grounds". Jury nullification is a result of the jury's verdict being final regardless of the details of the trial. It's also an effect of the fact that you cannot be tried twice for the same crime. The jury is not required to form a verdict strictly on the basis of the trial. The may find the defendant not guilty regardless of actual guilt.

  • Nullify the jury. A man can break the letter and spirit of the law if the jury decides he should not be punished for it.

  • Molten salt reactors use salt as the coolant

  • They disabled the local account for offline devices on all versions including IOT. The solution is to hit shift + f10 for CMD and then running OOBE\BYPASSNRO which enables that feature. But 90% of people setting up windows for the first time just create an account or use one they already have. Not that it's better to do it that way. Just that it isn't that difficult.

  • Cool story bro. You must be so good at computer yet you can't install windows. Also very cool that you think you know how old I am or what my experience is. I can do either blindfolded and have been doing so for decades. It's really not that impressive. This is low level IT shit. Let's all stand and applaud this guy who can't install windows. Lol

  • I never said it was. It's also not the developers job to provide you the service on the platform of your choice. It's the developers job to protect the companies servers and data. It's the company's job to provide you the service and it's your job to decide to use it or not. And it sounds like you don't like the means of service provision. So don't use it. Easy enough.

  • It's not questionable at all to assume that a user rooting and installing their own OS is a security risk. That's the entire premise of zero trust. I'm sure Graphene OS is secure and better for user privacy when configured properly. But you can't trust that an end user will configure it properly. That's what I am saying and have been saying since the first message. You can't trust the user to be security minded. Ultimately, the best thing you can do as a developer or a business is support a known quantity of software and hardware configurations and that likely means only supporting OEM installed ROMs.

    It's OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.

    What about that is unreasonable considering you're using their platform to deliver your software and their multiplayer framework. Steam makes no money on the sale of your keys.

    Also, if your issue is that steam is a monopoly, then go make accounts in other places and stop supporting that monopoly you're mad about...

  • It's not for your security. It's for the company's security. You're really dense you know that. This is not about you and it's not about Google. What I'm saying is, people suck ass. So to protect themselves from people sucking ass, they restrict access to their system to their terms. Completely fair if you ask me.

    You can go cry Google bad all you want. I might even agree Google is bad. But this is not a Google thing. It's an IT security thing. The banks and MFA providers are security first businesses. They will make the decision that protect them first and it makes sense for them to do so. If you owned a bank, there is a high likelihood you would make similar decisions that end users don't quite understand.

    As far as McDonald's is concerned, who the fuck knows what their developers are doing. That app is trash anyways.

  • I got a ton of my games through humble bundle, Which distributes steam codes. I've also gotten steam keys through Itch.io.

    As for your price argument, price matching is only for the lowest price steam has ever sold the software for. So you can sell your games at steam sale prices 100% of the time and have a higher price on steam. So you're literally just wrong.
