  • Yeah, I read that and I think it's a weak justification.

  • And they had this revelation and newfound sense of caution immediately after their main source of income was jeopardized? And they made this change at the exact same time they started forcing users to give them a worldwide commercial license to everything you enter through Firefox? Sure, Jan.

  • Apple is already displacing Google's monopoly.

  • ...The reason being that they can't legally claim they don't sell your data.

  • The fact that they think they need to cover their ass about selling user data is concerning enough.

  • I think most people would be happy if the Mozilla CEOs "only" got a few hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. The current pay is literally millions.

  • I think they just got too comfortable with the Google money coming in.

  • Apple has the funds to maintain WebKit by themselves, and they wouldn't want it to be cross-platform.

  • I don't think Mozilla had any involvement in Servo.

  • The problem with Mozilla is that their route back to greatness would require consolidation that cannot and will not happen due to lack of trust and diverging goals.

    I completely disagree; any capital available to Mozilla would be funneled into all the wrong places. Proton would go bankrupt for the sake of Mozilla's AI and CEO bonuses.

    Firefox should split from Mozilla like Thunderbird did, and only then consider partnering with another project. Actually, a partnership between Firefox and Thunderbird would be great.

  • X's official support channel, which has been dormant since August, has so far remained silent on the outage, but one user asked Grok—X's chatbot that provides AI summaries of news—what was going on, and the chatbot echoed suspicions about the DDOS attack while raising other theories.

    That's not how LLMs work... Why is Ars endorsing that brain-rot?

  • The firings will continue until quality improves

  • We were paying people to create the bird flu?! Good thing DOGE got rid of that inefficiency.

  • She had a fake rural village built so she could cosplay as a peasant, though, so it's not far off.

  • Either you believe what he says, or you don’t.

    That's a false dichotomy. 10% of what Trump says is true but 90% of what he says is insane, so 9% of what Trump says should legitimately concern everyone. Because we don't know which 10% is true, we have to be concerned about everything he says.

  • "Glowies"? As in "glow in the dark CIA n-words"? Bro turned into Tarry Davis.

  • Lemmy even has the option to disable downvotes, so they’re obviously using downvotes as some kind of purity test.

    Side note, there should be a way to soft block certain instances so you can see and interact with its federated posts but not send anything to the instance itself. You want to limit open discussion on your instance? Fine, but everyone else is still going to talk about you.

  • When one community goes in mass

    Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”
