The sockpuppet account this guy uses to astroturf his own projects. Documented elsewhere in this thread.

Have you tried DaVinci Resolve? It's not FOSS, but it is a pro-level After Effects replacement with much more reasonable terms.

What is ".txt format"? I'm genuinely curious what they went with here, but don't want to download 36 GB to find out. There isn't a .txt standard, is there? I would hope for UTF-8, but given the old-school, Windows-y

The level is set by Firefox's own marketing. If they don't want to be held to their own claims, they should stop making them.

He donated to the campaign of a proposition aimed at removing rights from a group of people, many of whom were his employees. You can agree or disagree with the consequences for that, but at least get the facts straight.

I think Mozilla should be innovating, very preferably by focusing on Firefox. They should not get used to trading on their name via rebrands. Mozilla VPN is rebranded Mullvad. Firefox Private Network is rebranded Cloudflare Warp.

How convenient that you're an expert on the resources required to govern one of the top economies in the world. I suppose California should adopt a pay-what-you-want model, given the prevalence of such experts.

That's just a convenient, estimated option for if you choose not to keep track of your untaxed purchases yourself.

Hopefully your local civil services are not terribly affected by your dodging of taxes, in case you or someone you care about ever needs them.

Listening to music costs $10 per month. Netflix is $15. Surely securing the keys to your digital life is worth at least $5.

LastPass was bought by LogMeIn, which raised some eyebrows. More recently, LogMeIn was bought by private equity vultures. That raises alarm bells for more people. It was that plus experiencing a lot of bugginess in their apps that got me to

1Password does not use SMS for 2FA.

> If 1password allows anyone to make login attempts against their service, that means some bored teenager with a botnet can make attempts at your password. They would need to guess both your master password and your 128 bit secret key.

An interesting factoid, but of course you don't think that Microsoft made that investment in their then-failing competitor because they expected a good return. Right?

Firefox usage is flat or slightly trending down. However, overall internet usage grows each year, which means their market share is shrinking.

The argument is that Google would use its monopoly in other areas to defend its monopoly in search. For instance, what if the most popular browser (Chrome, conveniently for Google) just... didn't work very well with this new search eng

There are currently 220 million Firefox users[1]. If 10% of those paid $2 per month, it would be more than $500 million per year. Their Google deal is worth about $400 million in good years. I imagine it would be fewer than 10%, but even th

It has been confirmed many times that exactly zero of funds donated to the Mozilla Foundation go to Firefox, which is developed by the Mozilla Corporation.

The first step is to let them. There is currently no way for a user to support Firefox development.

They literally laid off the entire Servo team this year. Their browser R&D is dead.

by gilrain 6y ago
Well, they laid off the entire Servo team, which was effectively their R&D and was responsible for many of the recent performance wins in Firefox. So, certainly yes technically.

A check-in from a man-made object further out from Earth than ever achieved before is of scientific interest in itself.

Certainly. Why rent office space when you can commandeer your employees' private property?

Every time I see a 3D printing project like this, I experience a mix of disappointment and hope for further progress. If the finished result is going to look so rough and unfinished, it's just not for me yet. If, in order for it to loo
