Especially imagine it showing the price. If you buy a laptop with windows pre-installed, you also paid for a license.

It’s basically like a copy of the original repository. But you can pull in and merge changes from the original, make a pull request for the original to pull your changes. Fork+pull request enables you to contribute to someone else’s repository. Things like Chromium are in part forks of Safari, just that they diverged over time.

The same with resumes. Using a LLM to write a resume and cover letter out of key facts, sending it, turning it back into key facts around the applicant.

Buying previous generation products. I got something like a Braun series 5 instead of the newest series 9, as there isn’t that much difference.

Mozilla has a budget of around 200 mil for software development, so the 7 mil are probably not enough. Not defending the high pay though.

Also, AI Integration into browsers could very well be a deciding factor for mainstream users when choosing a browser. So having some expertise around e.g. running LLMs privacy preserving on client hardware for page summarisation could pay off. Llamafile for example, is something cool coming from the Mozilla AI stuff.

Might be the out of memory killer. For me, Mach (Firefox’s build tool) usually did a multi-processed build assuming around 1 GB RAM per thread. Run ./mach build -j10 to limit the build to e.g. 10 threads. Or set mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=10 in your config file.

Google sheets isn’t FOSS, right? Is there something comparable in libre?

Though OPs example is easier for the general population to understand.

I heard people pirating old Wii games so that they can be emulated. Also, games with way too many DLCs like Sims.

I think lots of people also don’t know how easy it is to migrate all user data between browsers. Also, the added work of changing your phone app is probably too much for the average, comfortable consumer.

Ich bin entzückt, dass ihnen unsere MaiMais zusagen.

During last year, I watched two series (only murders, Andor) and one movie. Disney+ is convenient and I can share the account with some friends. But at some point, it’s literally cheaper to buy the things I watch directly and then also own them. Set up a Plex instance and it’s also easier to share with friends.

I guess this is much less about captcha V2, i.e. the ones everyone sees but more about V3 that works in the background or other such scripts using fingerprinting, collecting lots of data about the user to determine their validity.

The idea might be websites using traditional methods such as captchas or heutistics if attestation is denied.

I believe under US laws, it’s the opposite. The more donations a nonprofit receives, the more money it can earn though for-profit subsidiaries. I.e. the more donations, the more money the foundation can take out of the corporation.

Ofc both are interested in a sustainable relationship though.

I’m far from an expert on communism. But the government, and especially a single person, retaining power over the state and economy is far from communism, it’s more authoritarian. Communism in it’s very base is the citizens owning the means of production, not the state owning those. This in no way is represented in China, where the state has a lot of power over the economy and owns parts of some companies, but there are still capitalists owning factories and workers working there.

Great idea, Mozilla does good things for the internet. Though, please keep in mind that donations to Mozilla never reach Firefox. That is, as donations go to the foundation, a non-profit, while Firefox is developed by a for-profit subsidiary.

Mozilla is trying to reduce its dependency on the Google search deal. The dependence is big, but Mozilla has some reserves and receives the money for channeling searches to Google. They could and already make such deals with other search providers.

When I was there I found those busses really cool. But to my knowledge, they’re being phased out. They essentially combine the worst of bus and tram:

• relies on special infrastructure and thus cannot go anywhere, is more expensive than bus
• often shares the street with other cars being more vulnerable to traffic, uses tires (leading to fine particles)
