I might be wrong but i guess thats what Mozilla is about right now, is to have enough resources to continue to support Gecko. If things continue on the same way or turn worse its inevitable or they will just stop producing a browser. I dont

Well thats the thing... Firefox is not particularly good in anything and this is the point of the article. When Firefox becomes more unpopular than Mozilla fails its mission aside from Firefox, which is to set open web standards. The situat

I partially agree with you, the problem is not technical, although using the most famous and portable APIs definitely helps gaming companies porting and making their games available for MacOS or iOS. But i guess the main 2 problems are: 1)

I have the new MBP and I can tell you its a remarkable machine. Of course you need to check which SW you need to run and if it works (I assume it will). I guess everything else, native versions, will come with time.

Well i think GNOME and even GTK has very few contributors and mainly sponsored by RH and other companies. I suspect they are often getting paid to develop features for subcontracting and other times they want to "modernize" the to

this is problem #1 of Linux Desktop. Toolkits and Libraries constantly changing and reinventing the wheel. Actually a big part of developing an GTK App is actually catching up with the API changes. As a proof of this see the early how-tos o

the problem was that the "whole" open source community sponsored by RedHat, Intel etc... bashed the project to oblivion and left Canonical as the only contributor and put all the efforts on Wayland. This is just one of the reasons

I doubt the HomePod Mini at 99$ has any good sound quality compared to the Sonos One or original HomePod. Except if you want to use the Apple ecosystem features in different rooms i dont see the benefit of getting 2.
