Oh, that’s a very good point. Makes me wonder why Mozilla doesn’t talk about donations very much. Must be a strategic decision or something.
Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

As someone who is severely allergic to ads, I really don’t like this transition, but I understand why they’re doing it.
Mozilla seems to be facing a tough problem. How do you make money when your core audience isn’t enough to support the company, but you can’t realistically pivot to a new audience without kicking out all of the old users. Would it be better if Mozilla just faded into irrelevancy and focussed on developing Thunderbird instead? The FOSS community would have to continue to support Firefox, which would slow down development to such an extent that it probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rest of the web.
Also, there’s the actual Chad, which is bigger than Texas.
Lajittelun voi vaihtaa mieleisekseen. Hot, scaled ja active tuntuu toimivan vähän eri tilaneissa.
It was the same thing with IE back in ancient times. A popular browser violates web standards so many sites were designed with that rogue browser in mind. If you use a browser that actually follows the standards, some sites just won’t work properly for you.
What happened in Iceland? I really thought they would have inherited this kind of stuff from Norway.
When in doubt, always guess it’s a Swedish loanword. You’ll be right surprisingly often.
I don’t have numbers that would directly address that. However, there are lots of statistics on the number of mobile users vs desktop users when it comes to the traffic in general. This trend has been clearly visible for about 15 years now.
Here’s something I found on a short notice. link
Not that many people use real computers any more. At work, you may need to use a computer, but you probably can’t change the browser. At home, you have the PCMR folks who use a computer and probably also care about browsers. Everyone else just uses a tablet or a phone for browsing the web.
Speaking of the web, most people interact with specific websites through an app and an API, so they don’t even launch the mobile browser until they have to visit a site that doesn’t have an app. The world has changed and browsers aren’t as relevant as they used to be.
Some wise Lemmy user once said something like this: “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features. MacOS is a consumer OS with enterprise features.”
If that’s really the case, MS doesn’t really care that much about the consumer market. My guess is, most of the money comes from various companies anyway.
Why does anyone do anything. Sheer absolute boredom.
Mastodon devs were clearly aware of the quality of text people tend to write online. It’s a very fitting term IMO.
Mozilla also has a VPN, so that should provide some revenue. Might not be enough to let go of Google’s support, but at least it’s something.
Maybe one day I’ll get a Cahill-Keyes projection on the wall. I think it’s useful to see how surface areas compare.
It’s great for navigating at sea, but bad for looking at the world as a whole. Nowadays most people use maps for the latter; hence the complaints.
My guess is, the map of North Africa is really rough, because nobody actually put in the years of research time to produce a detailed map. Haven’t really tried looking for a better version, so if you find one, that bit of evidence can prove me wrong instantly. If that’s the case, the map we see here is a simplified version meant for internet audiences.
Norwegians seem lo love linguistic about as much as Finns do. Because of this enthusiasm, people have been making extremely detailed dialect maps for decades. My guess is that these two countries are the exception and the rest of the world focuses on funding other types of research.
That keyboard thing was pretty clever. I would not have thought of that.
AGM is exactly the kind of battery that is supposed to handle cold winters. Winter in Quebec is no joke.
Also, the HRV graph is something that watch can’t provide. Some other watches do measure HRV, but you only get a daily average, so you can’t really draw any conclusions about the shape of the graph.
