I agree with the sentiment, but in this case Mozilla is a non-profit.

And before someone jumps in… Yes, Mozilla Corporation is technically for profit, but it’s 100% owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

Percentage wise, I’m sure support is very high. But for a petition like this, I’d be shocked if even 0.01% percent of people have even heard of it.

Personally, I support the petition (obviously) and wish it could have succeeded. But even I think that in the grand scheme of all the problems in the world, this is very far down my wishlist.

Wanted to see if I could do anything exciting with the new Satisfactory dedicated server API. There’s no documentation of it anywhere online, but there’s a random markdown file documenting it in the installation directory. Got it working but turns out it can’t do much. Oh well

I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

Abiotic Factor and Satisfactory

I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.

That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.

You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it’s just a lot more expensive.

You do if third party clients aren’t possible? You have control over what client the receiving end is using.

But apparently third party clients are possible, so it’s moot.

Of course, I fully agree! My point was just that you can eliminate the risk of poorly implemented cryptography at the endpoints. Obviously there’s a thousand and one other ways things could go wrong. But we do the best we can with security.

Anyway apparently third party clients are allowed after all? So it’s a moot point.

Excellent point! If I’m sending someone information that could get me killed if it were intercepted by the state, I’d sure as hell want some guarantees about how the other side is handling my data. Disallowing third party clients gives me at least one such guarantee.

Aww, lay off Jonathan. He’s a pioneer for gay rights, which is much more than can be said for any of you lot.

Due to his advanced age, Jonathan spends his days doing almost everything with his mate, including eating, sleeping and mating… The sex of Frederica, … his companion since 1991, was cast into doubt in 2017 when island veterinarian Catherine Man indicated that due to a deformity of its plastron its sex could not be verified,[4] and is now known to be male, being renamed Frederik.

I wouldn’t recommend talking to your cat about Satanism. The best bet is to just hope they never find out about it.

Cool makes sense, thanks for the reply! And yeah, I don’t think I’m quite there yet.

Out of curiosity, what’s the benefit of splitting those?

I’ve been meaning to try Caddy, but I just can’t even imagine something simpler than NginxProxyManager.

This is the best take I’ve seen on the whole kerfuffle so far.

It’s a template to help set all the security and privacy hardening features that Firefox already ships with but are disabled by default.

They didn’t sell your data before

Firefox has been funded by ads from the beginning, and has had sponsored tiles (aka ads) since around 2014 I think?

I personally think there’s a difference between selling ads and selling your data too. I’m going to go on a limb and say you see no distinction.

This was not about “making things better for people on the Internet,” it was about a few individuals enriching themselves.

Mozilla Corp is fully owned by a non profit, so there’s no owners getting rich off of any excess profits.

Saying ads are here to stay so you have to accept them or die, is an absurd false dichotomy

I’d love for nothing more than for there to be a viable alternative!

Because Firefox is funded by ads, whether it’s the PPA ads outlined in this post, or search referrals from Google. Default adblocking would kill the revenue stream. Maybe Firefox could continue on with volunteers and donations, but not anywhere near its current staffing level. Eventually the engine would fall further and further behind and fewer and fewer people would use it.

To clarify… Making a browser is relatively easy and there’s lots of successful projects that do so without significant revenue. But making a rendering engine is really fucking hard and requires a ton of money to maintain.
