I believe under US laws, it's the opposite. The more donations a nonprofit receives, the more money it can earn though for-profit subsidiaries. I.e. the more donations, the more money the foundation can take out of the corporation.

Ofc both are interested in a sustainable relationship though.

SSDs got so cheap, I just added another one for Linux.

I'm far from an expert on communism. But the government, and especially a single person, retaining power over the state and economy is far from communism, it's more authoritarian. Communism in it's very base is the citizens owning the means of production, not the state owning those. This in no way is represented in China, where the state has a lot of power over the economy and owns parts of some companies, but there are still capitalists owning factories and workers working there.

Great idea, Mozilla does good things for the internet. Though, please keep in mind that donations to Mozilla never reach Firefox. That is, as donations go to the foundation, a non-profit, while Firefox is developed by a for-profit subsidiary.

Mozilla is trying to reduce its dependency on the Google search deal. The dependence is big, but Mozilla has some reserves and receives the money for channeling searches to Google. They could and already make such deals with other search providers.

It seems they cancelled support for embedding gecko.

When I was there I found those busses really cool. But to my knowledge, they're being phased out. They essentially combine the worst of bus and tram:

• relies on special infrastructure and thus cannot go anywhere, is more expensive than bus
• often shares the street with other cars being more vulnerable to traffic, uses tires (leading to fine particles)
