How does Mozilla get money apart from the Google search deal? Are there no other search engines willing to pay to be the (even country specific) default? Also if Google sell Chrome wouldn’t that mean they’d be able to keep the deal? In a sense they are no longer the monopoly?
In the article it says they will have no ads and no data mining. The user will pay for the service.
There was the 2008 crash they survived?
I know there’s an app built by a French antipolice group. It’s sends the video to their server for safekeeping. Can’t remember what it’s called.
I use thunderbird but it doesn’t always get the full text article to read offline. I think it depends on the website…
I think most people that don’t want kids might change their opinion if their material or romantic circumstances improve?
The other annoying thing is the air summaries. I’ve disable AI features but that’s still on. I hate it so much
There is a pretty great website called Falling fruit to map trees and other plants that you can pick from freely.
There are classics in different genres tbh. Not every classic is the same kind of story or style (although always a bit dated)
I wonder what a “softline” is for a member of the Israeli government
Considering the recent problems Cuba’s facing hopefully this could bring more than just talk.
They have an app though, do you not like it?
I think I remember reading some comments in a previous blogpost that it wasn’t really in the near-future roadmap at least. I think there are a couple good android calendar apps without needing Thunderbird to port that. RSS sync would be great though, I’d love that too.
I used to watch a lot of YouTube stuff (like probably a good ten hours a week) for years. Since covid lock down (4 years ago!) I have barely watched anything on it. I still add videos to my watch later play list but I know I’ll never watch them all as I’ve got hundreds of videos there…
Organic maps is quite nice.
What and why is Osmand tracking us. Are they actually selling that data. I had completely missed that. Weirdly didn’t get and email…
I personally would always prefer saying boy girl man woman over male and female. Whener I first saw it used it was always in a negative context like “young black male” in regard to some crime to give the opposite example. Just like in French I think it’s weird to refer to humans with male and female, although accurate of course, as I would only expect it in for animals.
The US gives you that money ever year 1re filling fro taxes to the US on your German income?
I fail to understand how they haven’t figured out a way out of this seems to me they’re using all the money they from Google as if there is no tomorrow… Why on earth also if Firefox is so clearly their main product does it seem to not always be at the centre of their attention? I get doing other products but they seem to not be going anywhere. Honestly, to a layman like me it seems they’ve been doing the same stuff as Google without having the massive ad revenue but with the search revenue. Where did the Firefox OS go ? They never followed through like Google did with their Pixels for example. Why?
I don’t love that response. What are Opera’s ads like? There are two reasons I use Firefox : opensource and ad blocking… I honestly think Firefox should offer more branded services like their Pocket, VPN or email with thunderbird, why not even a cloud in a continuation of their Firefox Send service? Or just try to ask for donations from time to time with some transparency about the budget… I’d personally love to better understand why there is a corporation and a foundation.
