They can take the salary of the CEO to fund the browser, they can ask for donations that go directly to the browser, they can make subscriptions with useful services. So many ideas that they didn’t try in the past 10 years. But it’s easier to get free money from Google and do nothing.
Same for my last job. My bosses and managers harassed and insulted me. They said I was useless and stupid.
I quit with 3 months of “notice” (standard in France to help you find a new job). They didn’t care during those 3 months. In the last week they panicked because they could not find a replacement that did everything I fixed every day.
I also interviewed my replacement, a junior out of school with big diplomas. When I asked if he knew Linux, he said “not really.” I thought “they are fucked with this guy.” They wanted to hire him because he was the son of some guy. I said to my boss that he would be a perfect fit for the company.
Unknowingly I was the kill switch. I sent them one last email with all the information they needed and told them to go fuck themselves in a polite way.
Yes. Tim Apple gave the $1M bribe to Orange Donald.
It’s a great combo between 1984 and “this place is fucking boring.”
They could have left 10 year ago. They didn’t and never will.
They should collaborate with IBM, they know how to handle that kind of thing.
Firefox is the kind of software where I would gladly pay $10 a month to support its development.
Dismantle Mozilla, give the money to Firefox, profit.
I can’t find it anymore but they had the same experiment around 2015 I guess. If you upvoted too many trolls or far-right people, you could be punished for this. The idea is not new.
Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.
Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.
It’s weird because I remember Reddit implementing that maybe ten years ago. If someone can confirm.
It reminds me of the 80s Wonder Woman movie: visually perfect. And a grand total of 2 minutes of fights in the whole movie.
If that’s the limit of your knowledge, I can’t help you. Read more on the subject maybe.
You have no issue with a company trying to illegally prevent people doing something legal?
Is it only for emulation? Stopping emulation is the illegal part.
I like it when the only useful piece of information is missing: https://github.com/electronicarts
The resources are missing but you could already have those everywhere else on the internet.
I’m eagerly awaiting the new version but I already like it. They now admit that they are sharing and sometimes selling private data (anonymized or not, same thing).
All the forks pick and choose but features can be enabled or disabled, or removed entirely. Telemetry is always removed, whereas DRM or cookie settings can be turned off by default.
If you want some kind of Tor browser without all the Tor thing, Mullvad has its fork too from Tor (like the fixed display as a rectangle to prevent fingerprinting).
It’s free and open-source but it’s probably a bit annoying to use daily and it’s barebones: https://mullvad.net/en/browser
Does it have an email
It’s for text and spreadsheet. It’s not a media player either. Nor is it a new operating system.
It is very legal and common in France too. You’re free to decline as long as you’re a customer. You’re free to accept or not see the web site.
I’ve been training my own mental model with TPB and a VPN for years. Thanks Facebook for showing me that it’s the legal way to do it!
