You can have one or two execs, as a treat; but certainly they don’t need to be paid crazy figures like what has been the case with Mozilla as of late. It’s not like they’re that important, in particular for the kind of project something like Firefox is (which could do with eg.: coop governance).
Okay, but what if after all this legal action Mozilla decides that it’s no longer worth serving the privacy conscious crowd? Which browser will you use then?
Firefox.
Just because the execs decide to stop serving the software, doesn’t mean the copies (and source code!) already out in the wild will automagickally stop functioning. You’ll still be able to visit websites the day after, the month after, the year after… And there’s still the devs, since they’re not the execs.
By the time there’s issues, there’ll still be the forks. Someone will have already step up to fork and keep the work on their own, too; the name just weighs enough that someone will want to be “the next Firefox” (not “the next Mozilla”). Or even better, the devs (obvs not the execs) will have jumped ship into any one of the various alternative projects such as ladybird, or might even have started a new project from scratch, hopefully intending for it to be a leaner and better browsr.
NOYB would’ve done much better by talking to Mozilla directly and advocating for them to do the right thing going for a legal complaint as the final nuclear option. I
It has been already vastly demonstrated by Mozilla, that going to them and talking to them about how they shouldn’t do shitty things doesn’t work.
If it takes legal action to even try and save the browser, I’m all for it.
Like “Usonian”, not like “USonian”, I’d guess? Flat U, non-“yoo”-ed; stress on the O; the “nian” more or less like “nyan” but 'murrically less cute.
But there’s not really another good demonym that’s not an slur. “Estadosunidenses” is too much of a mouthful and “Statesman” has another meaning.
Usonian?
or Germany. And I only identify the latter as such, because of…

¿Biden competent? He’s probably gonna die of old age by Jan 5, and if not, is going to be ordering who knows what crap with his dementia on Jan 6…
Don’t count all of us in, funnies scene in Greenland was watching Orlando get taken out via asteroid hit and how am I going to find the IRL version funny if I’m dead for it?
Biden is too old, frail and crazy to do it. We’d need to instaurate some fresher blood on the Presidential race.
Don’t worry it won’t be a close call. Trump has this one in the pocket unless we change the democratic figurehead for someone who actually has some meat and spine.
Here’s the thing: everyone but you would be an accessory, so you can sue everyone who got stonks. Settle for getting their stonks, and you get 23% of (what was) the company.
(I wish I was only half-kidding, but the US be the US)
So let me see if I get this straight:
Some guy robs you and since they can’t pay the settlement bill for robbing you, they are offering you a stakeholder position in their further crimes?
You sound so cute and innocent that way.
Ballpark figure, simple statistics, basic understanding of the capitalist and corporationist mindset.
But yeah it’s only an approximation. The real value is likely closer to 100%.
The idea that good men would fight a war for their country purely because it’s the right thing to do
Since when is it the right thing to do? 93% of wars, particularly ones where the US is involved, are about making rich people richer.
Escusé moi I don’t believe in fuhrers or fahrers or whatever the Germans are inventing these days.
(alas, not completely sarcasm, but that’s the modern world for you.)
US temperatures
what… is that? Temperature is measured in Celsius. Maybe Kelvin if you want to be fancy or are doing really cool stuff with really cool states of matter.
Triple digits? That’s way too much Celsius!
Not with that attitude!
I’m already on IRC and XMPP. be the change you want to see.
No hope, no cope. Just a basic understanding on how the HTTP infrastructure and time dilation work.
