Netscape. Specifically the homophobe guy that’s now leading the Chromium-based browser Brave.

I’m being a jackass about it, because that was 28 years ago. You can’t say they should stop bloating the web and then bring up an example from before Google even existed.

Damn, I definitely won’t stop donating, if they’re this short on money, but that was basically my understanding of what they do, primarily advocacy.

Is MDN and the webstandards work also part of the Foundation? It certainly feels like it’d be more non-profit-y work. I guess, they do hold ownership of the Corporation, so they could also just tell the Corporation to deliver that.

But yeah, I’d like some increased messaging of what other work they do, or how much advocacy they can continue to do. Obviously, that’s not an insane number of employees left either way…

This is the Mozilla Foundation. They’re legally a non-profit, so this isn’t supposed to mean that they’re reconsidering their stance. They can’t do that. It’s rather just them saying “shit’s hard, yo”.

Pretty sure, Google is at the forefront of that endeavor. Apple has no interest in keeping up. And Mozilla needs to stay in the talks for whatever Google proposes to ensure the webstandard can be implemented by others.

I do not see why you think the Linux Foundation could stomp 500+ devs out of the ground and do a better job. That’s three times the size of the current Linux Foundation. Nevermind that the Linux Foundation is purely non-profit. Paying a living wage to that many devs is pretty much just not going to be possible.

Brave has a notable market share? I’ve never seen them in any graph.

Comparing the two is also a difficult territory, because Brave does not develop their own browser engine. If Google stops publishing the Chromium source code, they’re gone in a few months.

The CEO who got paid that much has quit. We don’t yet know what the salary of the new CEO is going to be.

That CEO is working for the Mozilla Corporation, these layoffs happened at the Mozilla Foundation. The latter is legally a non-profit, so it would be quite limited how much money they could accept from the Corporation anyways.

Those are job postings at the for-profit Mozilla Corporation, the layoffs happened at the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

They’re theoretically connected, in that the Corporation is a subsidiary of the Foundation, but to my knowledge, they practically don’t hand money from the Foundation to the Corporation, because the Corporation has magnitudes more money anyways.

Yeah, I thought so, too, but I got that from here on Lemmy, so maybe we both read the same misinformed comment.

I think, it’s cool, though, that the official Thunderbird app can be published on F-Droid.

I’m not seeing it in my just-upgraded “Thunderbird Beta for Testers”.

Ah, yeah, I don’t think there was anything in the app. I guess, they could’ve mentioned it in the changelog, which gets shown in the app by default after an update.

But yeah, I think we’ll have to excuse a bit of a bumpy ride here. I know, it says “Mozilla” on there now, but to my knowledge, it’s still just the one core dev…

I’m not sure, if I’m misunderstanding, but the K9 devs definitely talked about it: https://k9mail.app/2022/06/13/K-9-Mail-and-Thunderbird

Oh, you don’t have to always boot anew from the read-only snapshot.

When you’re booted into the working read-only snapshot, run sudo snapper rollback and then do a normal reboot.

This will make that read-only snapshot your new (read-writable) system state. So, after doing this, your OS will be as if you never applied that update.

More info on that command: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/15.0/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.snapper.html#sec.snapper.snapshot-boot

Can’t you roll back to a snapshot before the update that broke it? Then you can wait with updating for a week or two, in hopes that it gets fixed in the next Tumbleweed update…

If you’ve got specific accounts you want to follow, you can get an RSS feed containing their public posts.

In terms of native clients, the closest such feature I know of, is that Fedilab (for Android) can remember your position in the timeline, so that you can resume reading.
If you primarily use one timeline, then you wouldn’t re-encounter already read posts, because they’re in the past from the remembered position.
I have to say, though, that it’s not the most reliable feature in the world…

In case you like feature-rich software, QuiteRSS is good.

Ah, interesting. In my current setup, I dump the auxilliary files into a folder above the repo, but it can certainly make it a bit messy to find the repo in there then…

You could use this crate to build a Rust program which uses the Qt GUI framework and therefore would feel rather ‘native’ in KDE.
But the vast majority of KDE applications continue to be implemented in C++.

For a project called “Potato Peeler”, I’ll put it into a structure like this:

~/Projects/Tools/Potato-Peeler/potato-peeler/

Tools/ is just a rough category. Other categories are, for example, Games/ and Music/, because I also do gamedev and composing occasionally.

Then the capitalized Potato-Peeler/ folder, that’s for me to drop in all kinds of project-related files, which I don’t want to check into the repo.

And the lower-case potato-peeler/ folder is the repo then. Seeing other people’s structures, maybe I’ll rename that folder to repo/, and if I have multiple relevant repos for the Project, then make it repo-something.

I also have a folder like ~/Projects/Tools/zzz/ where I’ll move dormant projects. The “zzz” sorts nicely to the bottom of the list.
