yeah, In a conventional war, it would be artilary, but Ukrain dont have enough of it, so it started using drones in its place. Looke at the fields, now covered in optic fiber. I cant even imagine the cleaning efforts that will be needed aft

Yeah, I dont like either, but I wont support Mozilla closed mind and stupidity. They pretty much abandoned Firefox (when was the last time they really updated the browser, other than incremental small corrections?), and I refuse to give my

Guess it falls back to us, the users. To fix the crapshow Mozilla has done. There are a bunch of small different iniciatives that use Firefox codebase. We just need to wait and see who will prevail.

My guess is that browsers like ice weasel, libre wolf, while good pieces of software, they dont have a whole company behind them. Libre wolf "about us" page, dont even have the developers real name, only their online handle. The c

The problem seen to be that they give power to activists instead of engineers. What the fuck they know about improvements to their core product? The only thing they do is create pretty slogans, borrow money from big capital to grown on top

They use an old offline machine with winxp to run stuff in factory. But they are replacing for virtualmachines now that the old hardware is dying. other than that, it runs really well. Sometimes, months without rebooting.
