I do this too but have been called out for “not being on camera” by a man that deserves no authority. Some people like to see themselves talk. Some like to hear themselves talk. I’d rather code than talk. When I run meetings, my camera is off, everyone else’s is off, and we have good candor and understanding during the meeting. I think by setting my bar low (just attend) I get better scores than those that require “face time”.

Mozilla needs new leadership, one that is focused on building the userbase, rather than lining their own personal pockets and riding it into the ground. The chair of the board receives 3x the salaries of the rest of the executive leadership combined[1].

There are so many ways that Mozilla the organization could do more to promote not just a browser, but the open web writ large.

>You know, the things you can’t do when you commute 2 hours a day.

This is an important part. The commute represents an obscenely large amount of our lives in time alone - forget sanity - that we give to employers for free. Is it because that's what we're willing to give for a job? Fucking no, of course not: It's because, historically, there was simply no other choice for most jobs, so it just became another part of the bargaining (I'm willing to sacrifice a bigger chunk than you, so I do better in the job market). Removing that has immeasurably improved the wellbeing and quality of life of everybody I know. Even a single hour round-trip (chair-to-chair) every day is a burden when you consider how our society has become so optimized in filling every available hour of the normal citizen's day.
Excuse me? What moral and economic planet are you living on? Enjoyment is an important drive behind any creative person, so much is true. But at least part of the enjoyment comes from other people appreciating, acknowledging and, yes, remunerating that creative work.

The idea that authors, artists and other creatives will keep pumping original work as part-time love affairs so that AI bros can grab it and mint a dime is... strange.
> if it detects its compiling a compiler it inserts a back door routine,

That's going to be hard.

If you're compiling yourself, sure, you know how the compiler is structured and what the source code looks like, so it's easy to spot the point to add the hidden backdoors to.

But inserting the backdoors into an arbitrary compiler? That may be structured differently, or use a completely different set of intermediate representations? Or even just uses `camelCase()` instead of `lower_underscores()` for function naming?

I'm not sure a generic backdoored compiler would be an option. I think you'd need separate payloads for, say, gcc and tinycc. But then the problem becomes, how do you add a new backdoor for a compiler that was released after yours, without anyone noticing? If you do a 3-stage bootstrap of GCC, the end result will be noticeably different if someone started with a pre-new-backdoor binary compiler than with a post-new-backdoor binary compiler.
I know this is good advice, but I simply value vanity TLDs too much to ever stop. I've got all of my projects' domains on absurd gTLDs and I'd never have it any other way. My users enjoy it and so do I.

This thread is literally about the decision to buy an M3-based MacBook Pro to replace M2/M1/Intel MacBook Pros. We're talking about hardware launched in the past 4/3/2/1 years.

That's hardly "20yo" anything.

Also, you failed to provide any concrete, objective reason to buy a M3. None at all. Is it that hard to put together any argument to justify the move?
reach out to the devs for any number of webkitgtk browsers, agree on a 10-year plan to factor it into a bunch of smaller, more maintainable libraries/interfaces and eventually split from Apple, and go to work.

unless you can bring better leadership to the project, Firefox is a dead end. you’re talking about monocultures: how many different webkitgtk or qtwebengine (chromium)-based browsers are there? how many gecko browsers are there? which one’s the real monoculture?
Major updates are infrequent maybe once a year if you always update, it’s not pestering you. And the UI makes it very easy to skip unlike some designs.
How much difficulty is there in creating a wrapper that could then host multiple rendering engines in it? Like a browser-wrapper that could switch between the chrome, webkit and firefox engines -- embedded in there some how? Perhaps even some of those more exotic rendering engines as well. Then one could browse with a safer wrapper which manages bookmarks/history/etc and perhaps each could be an isolated container so no profile leakage. You could have one "browser" and then one tab using Chrome/Blink w/o add-ons for YouTube but other tabs using FF engine, or servo or webkit or whatever?

Is this a thing Rust could do? Or would one need to code this wrapper in C because we'd have to link/embed so many other C projects.

I'm sure it's very difficult -- but is it impossible?
I thought servo had died, it's great to hear that work is still ongoing.

> it will not mount a RAID in degraded mode automatically,

I remember when btrfs was very young and they announced the ability to create mirrors. I tested this out and was pleased, and then I tested the failure scenario: pull a drive, try to boot.

It wouldn't boot!

I jump into IRC and ask if it's expected that you can't boot from a degraded mirror and the answer was "not supported" which means the mirror is pointless.

Obviously it has improved since then as there's a way to force it to work, but I returned to ZFS on FreeBSD and never looked back
> Orrick spends the rest of his ruling explaining why he found the artists’ complaint defective, which includes various issues, but the big one being that two of the artists — McKernan and Ortiz, did not actually file copyrights on their art with the U.S. Copyright Office. [...] The other problem for plaintiffs is that it is simply not plausible that every Training Image used to train Stable Diffusion was copyrighted (as opposed to copyrightable)

What? I thought everything was copyrighted by default under the Berne Convention?

That's the reason for the existence of CC0 [0], after all. Their FAQ says: "Copyright and other laws throughout the world automatically extend copyright protection to works of authorship and databases, whether the author or creator wants those rights or not."

[0] https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#What_is_CC0.3F
That's a difficult question because the boundaries of similarity/derived works for copyright purposes are determined by judges and juries based on their intuitions. There's no mathematical similarity testing, and trying to formulate such a thing would be challenging.

What's similar enough to a pop music theme, that has a grand total of a few lines of unique music, to be a copyright violation? How many bars have to be copied, and what kinds of minor variances do or don't avoid a violation? If you're inspired by a haiku, and change 5 of 17 syllables, is that still a copyright violation? Who knows.
I'm confused about which part of the link supports your hypothesis.

You might as well say that a forum on XDA Developers is proof that Apple products suck and nobody buys them. Mozilla is trying to convince people who have never been to this forum to use their browser, not a vocal minority of idealists who hate the idea of Mozilla daring to try and expand their revenue streams ("pointless endeavors" as user "sirwhinesalot" calls it).
Actually, no, the chair of the board is unapologetically fleecing the organization.

I was actually more genuinely interested to learn about the "similar defaults" mentioned in the OP, the 95% comment was just a side-note to a huge overestimation on how easy consent is achieved.

> But it's not quite opt in our opt out in this case. The user is required to opt for something. Apple literally has 100% attention, because otherwise the user can't move past the screen.

Thing is, you don't even have 100% of the users' attention in this case. The user wants to use the device, you're just standing in the way.

The scenario is this: You force the user to take a decision between option A and B. Regardless of his decision he will achieve his immediately desired outcome (move to the next screen / use the device).

Getting 95% to vote for 'A' would require some quite aggressive dark pattern, to the point that option 'B' would need to be almost invisible and actively discouraged.

Even if the UI would be a pre-checked check-box and the user would just have to select "Next" to Continue (=opt-out), your rate of consent would not be 95%. As mentioned, everything beyond 50% is already outstanding

Or, let's rephrase: If Apple would have 95% opt-in rate, they wouldn't bother chasing for consent again on every SW-update

It would be only a relief for a symptom and not actually curing the cause.
I see and hear about many differences between Firefox and other browsers, mostly on user-facing features, but also some on technical level. They can be small, or big, depends on the user. Maybe your view is too technical to really see the user-impressions?
What could we do to prevent FF from going out of business?

*We* don't have any control over the situation.

What Mozilla *could* do but won't is take a strong stand on privacy by default --- something more than lip service. But their sugar daddy wouldn't approve so they can't.

In any case, it's probably too late now --- credibility and integrity have been lost.

Brave is what Firefox could and should have become. Brendan Eich (boo, hiss) grabbed the opportunity that Mozilla intentionally chose to ignore.

Reform requires political will. And political will typically materializes when reform (a) benefits the politicians directly, (b) is made beneficial by lobbyists, (c) the public loudly demands it.

For (c) the question is: how to get the public worked up enough about an issue that they take to the streets and demand change? Nuance and careful analysis don't motivate people like catchy slogans and impossible demands.

Young people who chant impossible slogans sometimes really change society for the better. People who think in shades of gray and dream of carefully considered incremental change tend not to be involved with political action at all.

I just spammed F and randomly hit D and it pretty much never predicted the D.

Which I think captures a fundamental flaw in algorithms vs humans. Humans know how to mask their signals within noise.

One suggestion that was indirectly mentioned in the article is to do some highly automated tasks in parallel, like walking. By that you make sure that you don't start a task that is not automated and therefor will get all your attention.

Watch for the repeated mentions of "I don't use Firefox because (specific issue)" for which the answer often turns out to be either "that was fixed years ago" or "have you reported a bug so that there's any hope whatsoever of someone fixing it?".

Don't let Firefox threads turn into a litany of unreported hearsay bugs. Get them reported and fixed.
How to save Firefox? Change Mozilla. Mozilla does anything, but a development or advertisement of either Gecko and Firefox. Mozilla wastes too much time on online petitions and asking Big Tech not to be bad and the main source of income they have is Google - Google pays them millions, so it does not surprise me, why doesn't Mozilla wants to get in a way of Google. We need a community like a one of Debian.
Exactly what I was baiting for and you took it:

"there is nothing preventing you from registering your copyright well after you first published the material"

Your point is exactly what people in power want. IT IS CODIFIED IN LAW that unless you go through a kafkaesque process, your work can be reused and you get no compensation for it.

That is precisely the OPPOSITE of "just" and the law was written by capitalists for capitalists.

Just look at the original precedent case:
https://casetext.com/case/vacheron-constantin-le-coultre-wat...
"two successive applications for a certificate of registration were refused by the Register of Copyrights upon the ground that the subject matter was not a work of art within the requirements of the Act"

Perfect - so we set up a kafkaesque process that is opaque and up to a handful of unelected elite to make rulings on art (oh please) and if you don't do this then it's Legal and therefore right.

Just 2 would be enough. Which seems like a basic feature their competitors are are capable of supporting for a very low costs.

They in fact are competing on checkboxes, specifically they are probably using this limitation to upsell theirs more expensive models.
> What would stop them from paying the ransom

They can bring their systems back up and operational for less cost (both immediate, but also payroll during the fix, lost revenue from both downtown and reputationally after they're back, and opportunity cost off the top of my head).

Your only two options and rebuild on your own at significant cost or pay the ransom. There were long, heated discussions about what to do, and several people suggested paying the ransom but we ultimate decided not to and it ended up costing more than the ransom if you factor in payroll and lost revenue.

I still think out of principle you shouldn't pay the ransom, ever. Assume whatever the ransom would cost is already gone, if you can rebuild for less than that (you probably can't) it's a win.

PiKVM founder here :)

This project is a full-time job for an entire development and support team, and it's a way to keep the software open. For this money you get excellent hardware, software without any restrictions and a huge number of features. We also have a production-grade support: if you find a bug, it will be fixed quickly, and if the device fails due to a defect, we will quickly replace it.

In fact, we have developed and support all the key components of the KVM stack for Linux - the video server, kernel patches, and so on, which is also used by our competitors, like TinyPilot. But unlike them, we don't impose any licensing restrictions - for example, buying TinyPilot you find yourself bound by a subscription, and if you stop paying, your OS will no longer receive updates. With PiKVM, you don't need to do this - the device is yours forever, with updates until the end of time.

In addition, the production of large quantities of iron is quite expensive. Each device must be assembled, tested, packaged, and so on. When you do some small project, you can do it yourself, but in a large batch it inevitably has to be delegated to the factory, where each operation costs a certain amount of money.

In summary, that's where the price comes from: software, support, development, people.

> Let's be real. How many users care?

I think this question is very context sensitive. The way privacy questions are usually presented ("we want to improve/personalize your experience"), I don't think most people care. But when presented with actual outcomes of loss of privacy (e.g. the Cambridge Analytica scandal) people seem to care a lot. For most people I suspect there's a gap in understanding between how people think their data is used and how it's actually used. Whenever this gap is closed by a major scandal where "how the sausage is made" is revealed, there's often a strong reaction.

But perhaps the biggest indication that people do care about privacy is that ad companies are so reluctant to allow them to opt out of tracking. If (almost) nobody cares, what's the harm in having clear consent or an opt out?

> Why would any human spend their limited lifespan to create a piece of work that will be grabbed without permission, approximated algorithmically (at least on the surface) and reused in infinite possible small variations without any attribution or remuneration whatsoever?

Because many people make art for art's sake.

Besides popular art works always essentially had this yet people still made them. The difference is in scale not kind.

Or to put it in another context - why would anyone work on an open source project when their work can be reused without (explicit) permission, cloned and reused in infinite small varations without any renumeration and essentially no credit (when was the last time you actually looked at the CREDITS file in an open source project? Have you ever?)
