I think it would be best for Firefox to be given greater autonomy, like Thunderbird has been. Thunderbird asks for donations and I’m happy to provide! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Thunderbird started to thrive after being greater independence. Major new initiatives in user interface, mobile client after years of stagnation. Something at Mozilla central is deeply rotten.

Same, also the Readrops app. Less features but faster sync.

Yes, it’s indefensible and bizarre. I was the one who first put forward the idea on their Connect forum. I don’t understand their thinking on a lot of development priorities, and they don’t seem to care too much about helping us understand.

Tablet UI is available in Nightly. It’s actually pretty good!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I found it very odd how little they emphasize donations. Wikipedia, for example, has been quite successful with their pledge drive model, and like Wikipedia, Firefox has a natural platform to ask people to donate. I guess they are afraid of people switching to a browser that doesn’t ask them to donate, where with Wikipedia, there is no real alternative

Are you on a lower specced device? I notice it can have high resource usage at times

Same here!

I once wrote a blog about Sauron as an environmentalist https://dantheclamman.blog/2024/04/24/environmentally-youve-got-to-hand-it-to-sauron/

Yes, definitely a different thing

Abe Lincoln :D (half kidding)

I love both a lot. I do feel that cats require more emotional intelligence to understand. Some people have no interest in learning their language, which is complex and just and intricate as dogs. Dogs just on average do more work translating for us

RIP :(

In my area, it seems like trick or treating is in free fall, possibly due to the poisoned candy myth, with parents likely moving heavily to trunk or treating.

Yes, that was interesting. As a millennial, I was not aware of that backstory, which I think this article did a good job of capturing!

He was technically Silent Generation!

As the article mentions, Italy already did that! “Hold my prosecco”

When you are the Compte de Bussy and you know it

That’s my point!
