Je was a contractor for the NSA, sis you think he was going to say anything different?

Firefox makes up about 90 percent of Mozilla’s revenue, according to Muhlheim, the finance chief for the organization’s for-profit arm — which in turn helps fund the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. About 85 percent of that revenue comes from its deal with Google, he added.

I fail to understand how they haven't figured out a way out of this seems to me they're using all the money they from Google as if there is no tomorrow... Why on earth also if Firefox is so clearly their main product does it seem to not always be at the centre of their attention? I get doing other products but they seem to not be going anywhere. Honestly, to a layman like me it seems they've been doing the same stuff as Google without having the massive ad revenue but with the search revenue. Where did the Firefox OS go ? They never followed through like Google did with their Pixels for example. Why?

On cross-examination by the DOJ, Muhlheim conceded that it would be preferable not to rely on one customer for the vast majority of its revenue, regardless of the court’s ruling in this case. And, he agreed, another browser company, Opera, has already managed to make more money from browser ads than it does from search deals. But while that may be a potential pathway to diversifying Firefox’s revenue, he added, scaling up such a business at Firefox may look different, in part because of the privacy-preserving approach it takes to products.

I don't love that response. What are Opera's ads like? There are two reasons I use Firefox : opensource and ad blocking... I honestly think Firefox should offer more branded services like their Pocket, VPN or email with thunderbird, why not even a cloud in a continuation of their Firefox Send service? Or just try to ask for donations from time to time with some transparency about the budget... I'd personally love to better understand why there is a corporation and a foundation.

How does Mozilla get money apart from the Google search deal? Are there no other search engines willing to pay to be the (even country specific) default? Also if Google sell Chrome wouldn't that mean they'd be able to keep the deal? In a sense they are no longer the monopoly?

Or maybe the Department of Education could provide to young people an email adress for free. (Snail) mail has never been free afterall (you pay for stamps) so not having a free government service would be new.

It is not new that media companies get bought...

They are thinking of having the user choose the juridiction. So far their testing is hosted in the EU apparently.

As written in the article

Moz doesn't contribute financially to Thunderbird's development, according to Sipes, and whatever revenue the Thunderbird team generates will go straight into furthering its work.

In the article it says they will have no ads and no data mining. The user will pay for the service.

I have a kobo from 2016 that still works alright. I kind of want to buy a newer model but it's not broken yet so...

There was the 2008 crash they survived?

There is this showcased at the end of the article.

You're welcome 😊

Good point not sure. There must be some exceptions because I'm certain there are citizenship requirements in France for some jobs.

So this Mr Ren is the founder? How did they get to that? They've got a lot less employee owners than total employees?

I know there's an app built by a French antipolice group. It's sends the video to their server for safekeeping. Can't remember what it's called.

Openstreetmap also has some forums. The main one being community.openstreetmap.org

I use thunderbird but it doesn't always get the full text article to read offline. I think it depends on the website...

I think most people that don't want kids might change their opinion if their material or romantic circumstances improve?

Gonna do some patriotic promotion and mention NewYorkTimes and Telegraph articles about where I Live as there is a national park here.

Check it out!

Oh last time I tried it didn't synch listening history just subscriptions. I'll have to give it another go one of these days, thanks
