Forking is indeed the way forward when Mozilla loses its way a little more. For myself, I switched to Librewolf about 6 months ago, along with replacing Thunderbird with Betterbird after using it since the Phoenix days.

I cannot remember what prompted the move to Librewolf, it may have been the AI stuff they were pushing at the time, or possibly the update that forced the tabs into my titlebar without having to go into about:config to fix it. Or the fact that Firefox was constantly pushing me to sign up for an account. There were quite a few gripes that added up over time lol

Betterbird restored some removed things I liked pre-supernova as well as a native systray icon under Linux and that was enough motivation to make the switch.

It is time for a new browser to enter the market. Either Ladybird or something built with Servo seems likely.

I’ve got some bad news for you. Mozilla bought an ad company.

I admit that I am a bit biased. During the 8-10 years I tanked my startup by going all-in on Microsoft Store apps because I absolutely loved my Windows Phones and was convinced that they were the future, especially when Continuum was announced (and it actually worked!).

The disenchantment started when Microsoft forced developers to rewrite their apps for Windows 10 after already having forced the mobile devs to do it from 7 to 8. The hatred ramped up when they killed support for the Lumia 950XL 6 months after launch. I freaking loved that phone.

It pissed me off so much that I went to Apple lmao talk about cutting off my nose to spite my face.

You forgot Vista before 7. The list didn’t “break down” because Vista was the steaming pile of shit in between.

8 sucked, 8.1 was good at least in my opinion. 10 was when I fucked off to Linux land permanently after using it on and off for 15 years and have never been happier.

Buying a proprietary 3D printer with internet connectivity. What could possibly go wrong?

Going by the linked forum post, Anycubic has been aware of it for two months. Any competent FOSS project would have nipped that in the bud on the same day it was discovered. Incredible.

There’s someone running around lemmy with a creative commons sharealike link as a signature. Quite funny to be honest. I can’t remember the username though. They’re bound to show up sooner or later :)

If you post the magnet link I will put it on a seedbox and forget about it for a while ^^
