I really like Tumbleweed. Sure it updates a lot, but it doesn’t force updates so you can take it at your own pace.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

It wasn’t well balanced but it was a good RPG experience. Oblivion had a bunch of elements stripped out, but it was still an RPG, the wonky alphabetical voice acting aside. Skyrim felt like a cookie-cutter action adventure game, all the roleplay had flown out the window.

First is financially successful, it generated some decent profits for the stockholders.

This is the only sort of success they care about. Anything else is secondary. These companies gladly burn bridges with their communities so long as they believe it’ll benefit their bottom-line.

Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.

But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.

SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse’s salary on top of that.

That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

I disagree. The forum is hosted by Mozilla, they have a duty to ensure it’s handled properly. If they wish to no longer maintain it, fix outstanding privacy issues and archive it.

I guess that tracks. Mozilla doesn’t care about people’s privacy after all.

Ah. I’ve had a lot of fun in Sea of Thieves. It was hella fun on launch, albeit quite unfortunately lacking in content. I’ve heard it’s gotten much better since, basically a different game altogether now.

Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.

Their current interim CEO previously worked at AirBNB. I’ve a hard time trusting the judgement of someone who’d help upend various housing markets across the globe.

I knew that the bloody AirBNB CEO was a bad sign of more to come. Mozilla is dead.

Rumpelstiltskin.

Naomi Novik wrote a lovely book inspired by it called “Spinning Silver.”

Google has infinite money to throw at shitty projects, and the more marketshare they control the better for them since that just means more data that they can sell, so I can see that happening. I don’t think Mozilla has the same luxury. I’d sooner stick to Safari than use Chrome.

Yeah. The main reason I could think of is if you use Firefox Sync. I actually do have that on my iPad, though it’s rare that I’ll ever open something on my PC and then resume it on my iPad.

This echoes my thoughts. I really suck at writing emails in my native tongue, and having something I can prompt to write an email for me would be useful. I don’t want it to be trained on my emails to replicate my style or whatever, I’d just want an LLM on the side that I can prompt to write for me. I’ve done that with other LLMs in the past without having to integrate it anywhere.

I don’t particularly care for facial recognition. I don’t take photos of people.

That echoes my thoughts.

Well I suppose the question really is; how many Firefox iOS/iPad OS are there in the EU and does that amount of users make it worth maintaining another 1-2 apps for the EU market, while dealing with Apple’s shenanigans? Like Firefox Browser for iOS and iPad, as well as Firefox Focus are already 2 apps, if you want to replace the back-end specifically for the EU you’d have to maintain that back-end, deal with Apple working against you, and maintain separate versions of those apps specifically for the EU.

It’s worth noting that Firefox for iOS is already leaps and bounds behind Firefox for Android in terms of UX. There are features missing that they could add regardless of whether they are using WKWebView or not, but they haven’t, either because Apple doesn’t want competition, or because they don’t consider the Firefox browser on iOS to be particularly high priority.

If the latter, why on Earth would they port Gecko to iOS/iPad OS when a vanishingly small subset of users might use it? I am a European Firefox user, but I don’t use Firefox on iOS because the UX compared to Safari is incredibly lacklustre. Switching the back-end to Gecko wouldn’t do anything to fix that.
