The firefox browser could exist without quite a lot Mozilla does. A large chunk of its cash isn’t spent on the browser.

Yeah, was my first thought as well. As far as I can see it’s the same problem PeerTube is having and last I checked, were still trying to solve. (For context: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 )

Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:

The US did not “create” the internet. It was one of the contributors certainly, but what makes up the internet and several of its components is international work. Much of TCP is influenced by the french Cyclades, http was developed by a brit, ssh was created by a fin, ftp is the work of an indian. Arpanet certainly had a lot of influence, but claiming the US created what is the internet today is incredibly wrong.

Nah man, as much as I might dislike Nintendos business practices, this dude in particular only has himself to blame. Dude literally sold pirated games, signed an agreement with Nintendo to stop, then didn’t. Not surprised no one would want that case.

Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).

The icon is two years older than Android.

An Ubisoft exec described Skull & Bones as the first AAAA game. Given the generally unfavorable reception this game got, “AAAA game” has become an expression of mockery.

Can’t fault them. I went through three different instances, one because I disagreed with some of their policies, I don’t remember why I left the second one, I want to say it was technical issues but I honestly don’t remember. Then the third one got closed down because the owner had IRL issues they needed to take care of. Also that instance was on some defederation list because some mod from a large instance had an argument with a mod on my instance.

Ultimately I ran my own solo instance for a while but lost interest eventually. Mastodon is frankly a shitshow and as long as it stays like that, federation or not makes it just a slightly worse twitter, just with some mods taking the role of Elmo instead.

Screw the mozilla foundation. My only hope at this point is that Ladybird or one of the other projects produces something viable one of these days.

Frankly that’s about the only plausible customer base I could see for that.

Very relatable (jk, even kids know better)

Idk I still hope a Servo-based browser somehow materializes itself someday, but if/when that happens, who knows.

I don’t know, I have had to fix more problems with supposedly “stable” distributions like Debian and co than I ever did with arch.

And Brave too, which inconveniently beats firefox hands down in independent privacy checks. The mozilla foundation finally needs to step it up.
