the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren't the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla

I went to donate to Mozilla when I switched back to it from chrome early last year. It said on their website by the donate link, which was very difficult to find, that the proceeds from those donations did not go towards firefox but towards their other projects.

I don't know if that's the case today, but there was no way to contribute to firefox directly when I sought it out, or at least not in a way I could find. Maybe it was a stipulation of the Googlegeld, idk.

They really should be copying the success of the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikipedia

Step 1: Be hilariously wealthy from prior investments and businesses Step 2: Do a thing nobody has ever done before at a time when interest rates mean money is free Step 3: Blind luck

I'm not sure how they're supposed to reproduce those at this point.

Plot twist: both fleets consist exclusively of time travel clones of Voyager

So, i started working for Cisco shortly after this went down, and it actually changed basically everything about their global supply chain. Anywhere that devices which would be provided to customers were at rest were blanketed by cameras and literally all procurement shipping was changed to overnight (or first overnight for anything near a warehouse) to try to make it functionally impossible to execute the same attack again.

Talk shit about their products all you want, but they were unironically angry about this issue and in classic Cisco fashion threw money at the problem until it went away.

He was specifically instructed in the linked pr to change the license terms, I don't see how that makes him the asshole here.

This seems exactly right to me. More of a "we wanted to win, not burn down the board". Take the W and hope it can convince some holdovers from that era to stay home, if not vote the same way.

Definitely, like the refreshing energy of GamerSupps energy drink powder and it's many flavors like Guacamole Gamer Fart 9000
