How much does Firefox development cost? The Mozilla Foundation itself has a dearth of friends even among hackers. But Firefox is worth preserving. Could we get enough paying supporters to continue development?

I don’t disagree about what most people want. Personally, I don’t really care for the features, so I’m an outlier. The one thing I do miss on my 25-year-old Saturn is cruise control.
Plastic panels are awesome, BTW. 25 years and zero door dings.
I really like this concept. Definitely catches my attention. But I think minimalists are in the minority these days.
More like “I’m not paying for DRM books”. If they want my money, they can sell a non-DRM book. I buy those all the time.
Is it DRM-free on bookshop?
“In the Ukraine area”… Smells like code for “Russia” that Trump is going to use as additional rationale for abandoning Ukraine.
I generally agree, but I think we’re already past step 1.
Kinda looks like Trump is wanting to be Ruler of North America and wants Putin to be Ruler of Eurussia. Maybe that’s what the Ukraine “peace talks” were about.
It’s possible to dodge the deluge of ads, of course, by signing up for the YouTube Premium subscription service.
Oh yeah! That’s another way to do it. I forgot.
The USGS has renamed “jadeite” to “jate”.
I always wished the Dems would leverage this power a bit more. But who knows–maybe this Biden move is trying to get Trump to ban it.
Trump: Ban TikTok! Trump: Save TikTok! Biden: Ban TikTok! Biden: Save TikTok!
For sure. Any social media company that says they’re pro free speech is just posturing at best. They have full dictator control of their systems.
Yes. I don’t have any guaranteed speech rights on Facebook.
I agree with you, but true free speech also gives Facebook the right to choose its own themes. I’d vote with my feet on this one, but I already abandoned Facebook years ago.
I can’t, unfortunately. I still have an old Smart TV that isn’t too offensive and doesn’t show me ads. If it starts showing me ads sometime, then it’s gone. But I’m not really a videophile and I’ll watch shows on anything so I haven’t really looked at what’s better, only at what’s cheapest. I do hear it can be tricky because the commercial displays are meant to be brighter than TVs and maybe it can be hard to get them dialed in the way you want.
Hypocrisy is considered a strength. So they’re definitely not against it.
