It's conspiratorial that Google gets ad clicks through Firefox, and pays Mozilla some of the money it makes from that?
And I suppose it's also conspiratorial to claim it's doing the same for Safari users - instead it's more likely that it's paying Apple 20 billion a year to remain out of the clutches of regulators?
I mean, the extension system means we could easily fix it
If that's the case, then why not do it? Apparently the people who actually worked on X11 had a different idea, and so they decide not to do it themselves - but the code is right there for those who do think that that's a good approach.
Likewise, there are plenty of definitions of "better" that make Wayland a lot better. It's just that it's a lot of work to make something better, especially for some interpretations of "better".
Oh damn, jouw gezin heeft echt niet de loterij gewonnen he...
Maar zeker, als je merkt hoe lang het duurde voor de enorme misstanden in de gesloten jeugdinrichtingen in het nieuws kwamen (en ik denk dat dat nog steeds niet is opgelost), dan verbaast het me niets dat er nog veel meer niet in het nieuws is.
Heel rot; het vangnet is er dus wel in theorie, je had alleen even moeten wachten met vallen tot er plek op de wachtlijst was - zo werkt 't natuurlijk niet :/
Past helaas wel bij het beeld dat ik iig van de GGZ heb gekregen afgelopen jaren, met enorme wachtlijsten en mensen die niet geholpen kunnen worden.
Wat ook rot is, is dat je niet voor toeslagen in aanmerking komt door een "te hoog" inkomen, maar ook als je inkomen lager was geweest, dan nog had je alleen maar toeslagen kunnen hebben - maar nog steeds geen behandeling.
Anyway, ik heb verder niets te bieden naast medeleven. Ik hoop dat kaarslicht's suggestie wat kan helpen!
I'm not sure if those specifically were in favour of AI, but yes, they did get less investment. Another sign that they're struggling to bring in enough money with other projects.
(I do wonder, given how many of Proton's projects have launched relatively recently, how many of those projects bring in enough money to offset their own costs. Possibly we're in for a couple of similar announcements from Proton at some point? Let's hope not.)
I'd say Proton has become Mozilla more than the other way around, now that they're also a non-profit. Mozilla does have its own set of privacy-related tools (Firefox Relay, Mozilla Monitor, Mozilla VPN, ...), but not all of them have been successful, and some have been discontinued (e.g. the password manager). All of those were/are certainly attempts to reduce the dependence on Google money.
Well, there's a custom app, and their own login and automatic monthly billing. It'll depend on the person on whether that's useful, but it's not next-to-no maintenance. Though for sure way less than maintaining a custom VPN network.
