It might seem that way but it’s a fairly arrogant assertion. They’re a sophisticated organisation with a lot of well experienced people guiding them. As an outsider it’s easy to criticise their seemingly endless series of bad decisions, but I’m still confident that internally all of these decisions seemed like a good idea at the time.
Besides which, this would be a good reason to fork their codebase rather than starting from scratch.
Oh my sweet summer child.
Seems a little idealistic.
If ladybird actually achieves any sort of userbase they would take the same deal in an instant.
a Herculean undertaking with too few engineers and too many standards
Yeah, as a layperson this is my take. If mozilla is struggling to stay in the game then I just don’t really see how an unfinanced indie team has a shot.
WDYM “independent” ?
Isn’t mozilla / gecko more or less independent?
I’m an accountant.
The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.
When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.
When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.
This isn’t a hill I care enough to die on.
I’ve never bought a series in any format. It’s always been piracy and for at least the last 5 years catch and release.
What I mean is, I don’t want to keep series in any case.
That said, now I think about it, if I didn’t pirate everything then keeping copies of what I’d paid for world feel important
You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?
I find it a bit annoying that different usb-c implementations have different capabilities.
As in, not all cables are compatible with all devices, and there’s not even a standardised way or reporting capabilities.
What’s the point of being able to put every plug in every socket if you don’t know if it’s going to work?
Well it’s made a lot of people feel satisfied that they’ve done their bit and had their say.
Google has really masterfully re-defined privacy to mean letting them look after all your private stuff.
The majority of piracy is not free.
I’ve paid for usenet, seed boxes, private servers, and more recently torrent cache services.
You pay because it’s much cheaper than commercial services and a better experience with more content.
Isn’t it 48 tons of meteorites per day vs 14 tones of satellites per year?
These are rad. Weird they’re not more popular internationally.
I don’t do this and my rotors are fine.
It was some kind of non-profit previously right? What happens with the money paid for the shares they floated?
LOL I’m sorry my opinion is so annoying LOL.
We didn’t migrate “as a community”. All the same communities still exist on reddit.
Good lord. If you think lemmy votes are an indicator of solid reasoning I don’t know what to tell you.
Communities aren’t going to move away from lemmy.ml because no one cares enough about this issue.
You can dream that that’s how communities ought to work but they just don’t.
Even if that were true, and it seems unlikely, that’s still an order of magnitude more than the ladybug devs.
