i guess... but i thought the idea was to bring actual lunatics for us to laugh at, yet we keep getting satire posts

is this sub just people unironically taking obvious jokes seriously?

how much do you think chasing the web "standards" set by one of the largest companies on the planet without falling behind costs? ever wonder why nobody else has been able to keep up with chrome? also, do you think it's not important to ensure web standards are open and having the lawyers and lobbyists to prevent web standards to go to shit? do you think the only important thing is the actual application? firefox doesn't in a vacuum. if mozilla was just a bunch of computer nerds coding very hard to make a browser, it would've gone bankrupt and firefox would've died ages ago

i'm not even saying mozilla isn't doing anything stupid, it's just that it frustrates me how computer nerds always think the coding is the only thing that matters in a software project

you're right, that's why nobody worked until capitalism came along

still, 6 mil is ~10% of their revenue. it's egregious, but cutting the ceo's sallary to zero dollars even would solve nothing

The money sources are not the issue

lolwhat

did you miss the part where mozilla depends on mostly google money to survive? which they've been trying to correct for years but failed? and now they're om the verge of losing most of it?

title makes it look like firefox is just removing yet another security feature as part of its enshittification process, but reading the article it looks like it makes sense

• not a lot of websites respect dnt
• it might serve as an identifier, i think

what about energy efficiency? that used to be a massive disadvantage of the amds

miss u sm

went looking for it. "stable rolling release" sounds really interesting, but i'm scared of installing it and being mistaken for a systemd hater

people laughed at me for choosing debian. they asked why i chose to have ancient runes running in my computer

who's laughing now?

i tried many different algorithms at the time, but it didn't really matter. my laptop would always, eventually, lag and get pretty hot and I would check the task manager and sure enough there were the btrfs compression proccesses hogging the cpu

the less code the better because the more code the higher the maintenance burden

keeping code around isn't free. it makes refactoring harder, it makes compilation times longer, it makes the kernel larger, it makes it harder to guarantee device compatibility. that's all part of maintaining software, but it makes no sense to waste work maintaining shit noone is using, work that could've been used to implement new features and/or maintain existing code that's actually in use

what the kernel is doing is the correct approach. unless they're sure there's someone using the thing: old, unmaintained code = bin

ntfs compression

btrfs compression was really cpu-heavy last time i tried it. ntfs compression just worked with little hassle

the less code the better

firefox is larger and more fast-paced

you're confusing importance with complexity

openssl is a vital part of the web, but it is a small tool

pale moon leverages the hundreds of thousands of person-hours put into firefox up until the fork. the work they put on their original code is negligible in comparison

there is literally no project led by unpaid volunteers that's able to output the amount of work necessary to maintain a browser and keep it up to date with web standards, let alone add new features

firefox has been following kde's colors for a good while now

what distro are you using that updates breaking the system are an expected (and not an exceptional) scenario?

you can, but from what i heard, maybe you shouldn't, bc openzfs is much more unreliable than true zfs
