Yeah, exactly, when you want to do a full upgrade it’s technically best practice to check if there’s anything which requires intervention. But I never bother honestly, and the one time there was an issue it was resolved by just uninstalling one package for another.

It does still happen occasionally that updates need some intervention, it is still policy that you should check the blog in case, but it’s only happened once in the last two years for me.

The markets authority and antitrust offices are different people than the chat control people, they aren’t a unified organisation, they will probably argue about it.

Not happy, just resigned to reality

He’s just never tried to say something which wasn’t allowed

CCC was collecting some money for them last year, not sure if this is still active https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2024/das-ist-vollig-entgleist

Edit: looks like they were past the goal they had then but if this goes on maybe 30k € won’t be enough, hopefully someone sets something new up

I don’t know, I’m not that much of a legal expert. My guess would be in most places you’re just supposed to delete it or not use it.

“expectation of privacy” is a US-specific legal standard that doesn’t apply on much of the EU. In many countries, you can’t just record someone without their permission or some other permission, regardless of their expectation of privacy.

There have been some improvements but their poor stability is still the biggest problem yeah

For many kinds of them, yes, but not literally all

That is still what we do with criminals

Haha

I worked in France for a while and I deeply agree with everything you said… Except μ is by far the most useful Greek letter since it is used as a prefix for units of measurement, e.g. μm, μL, etc.

Also the Swiss layout is even worse, it combined all the bad features of the French and German keyboards and then just moves around all the symbols a bit more for good measure.

Yeah but GameStop’s entire existence depends on crypto meme hype, while Meta’s depends on extracting our data as efficiently as possible

“negligent” is letting them off way too lightly

Sure, but there are also a lot of people doing good things who are persecuted for them, do you think it should be impossible to do any kind of activism just because other people commit crimes?

Yeah depending on your hardware things like that can still happen sometimes. I don’t think it’s a lot more common than on other OSes. It’s especially not really usual for something as basic as network drivers to misbehave though, especially suddenly. For what it’s worth, my experience trying to use Zotero on Windows on both MS word and LibreOffice writer was also a glitchy mess. Anyway, hope you try it again another time when you are under a bit less pressure and it works out better for you then.

comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions

Lmao, amazing

Hopefully, but it is a huge project, it is really hard to overstate just how much work it is. There are a few hundred very good programmers working on FF full-time at Mozilla. To be a community project it would have to be thousands of people.
