the sad truth, i believe. i hope i'm wrong, but the effective death of firefox feels like a matter of time

comments claiming mozilla doesn't need the money make me feel i'm crazy. you actually think making a modern web engine that competes with chrome in terms of performance and compatibility is easy? that relying solely on donations from individuals and voluntary work are gonna cut it? if it was that easy, we'd have more than just gecko, webkit and webkit fork -- but we don't.

it also truly drives me insane when people bring up the forks, as if they're anything more than re-skins.

without financial backing, mozilla is dead, firefox is dead, and the web will be 100% google's. no project as large and complex as firefox stays afloat without corporate-level money.

Kind of like how LibreOffice happened after the holders of OpenOffice pulled their shit

libreoffice has the document foundation behind it, which is basically a continuation of the oo.o team after oracle bought sun: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/libreoffice-timeline/

mozilla is already an independent foundation. i don't think the situations are comparable at all

figma balls

what do you mean? does pale moon develop its own browser engine?

ff forks depend on mozilla's work. if mozilla dies, they die

also, again, making the browser is only part of mozilla's job

this is a bafflingly absurd comparison. ladybird is nowhere near the same scale as mozilla. not only is firefox a fully functional browser, available in multiple platforms, but also creating the browser is only one of the relevant things mozilla does

But something is bound to take Mozillas place

how can you be so sure?

just updated to it in opensuse and it's pretty solid, but wifi doesn't work for some reason. it can see the networks but it never connects

i heard that was the trend in latin america from the 60s onwards, but then john paul the second feared the catholic church in latam would get too powerful and started moving power away from it (somehow)

amazing. it looks like a nuclear meltdown

what additional warnings were issued in tor browser?

it's been my position for a while now that job interviews evaluate, more than anything, how much the candidate is willing to humiliate themselves for the employer. that's more important to employers than actual skill

me when i jack off to sleep in the cafeteria

to be fair, I understand the frustration and i myself hate linux sometimes too. i just wish they'd communicate they're asking for help

glad to help

main ssd with debian stable: a single partition for the system + swap

secondary harddrive: an opensuse, a debian testing, and a freebsd partition + shared data partition

no

debian bc i want a rock solid system that i don't have to worry about maintaining and i don't give a fuck about the most recent versions of stuff

to the unavoidable "it's been 15 years" comments: 15-year-old x11 was a piece of shit. the difference is that we had no alternative so we had to put up with it
