There are many comments from people wanting to pay for Firefox, but not to Mozilla.

As an independent alternative, the Ladybird browser (https://ladybird.org/) is being developed and could possibly benefit from more financial support.

What I did was remove my comment :)

Obviously there is no straightforward solution, and I don't want to fuel this anymore.

That's exactly true, and it's very sad.

I had removed the comment, but you replied in the meantime. I didn't want to add further fuel to this.

But since you only picked up on that: what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians, is exactly what you are describing, but from the other side. It's not hypothetical. It's happening. When will they stop?

> Is it okay to take their land?

Of course not! It's not OK to take anyone's anything.

Edit: removing further comments. It would be ideal if everyone could just live in peace

I assume children queuing for food are not soldiers. Yes, yes I do.

If they are killed while they are in uniform and holding a gun during a gunfight, then they are soldiers.

Indeed. But what is a country? Is it a place where people live and have their identity, or does it need to be "ratified" by the UN? Before 1945 were there no "countries"?

Does it legitimise the invasion of someone's land? I don't think so

Exactly, what's a country?

Israel never existed either, until it was administratively created in 1948. Maybe it shouldn't have been created where other people were already living?

Ah, OK. So, in that case they can be killed, but just in a culling kind of way, is that it? Your children can be killed as long as you keep making them?

It makes sense that people don't want to become citizens and legitimise the entity occupying their country and committing genocide, no?

> In cases where civilians are shot (what Israel defines to be civilians), there are investigations and sometimes even punishments for the perpetrators.

Obviously Israel doesn't consider children to be civilians

Is this "the future"?

Someone whips up and deploys something with an LLM, but is unable to change a colour scheme because "computer says no".

At the same time you need to register and provide an email. How confident are you about what to do when there's a leak?

I'm sure you won't have to worry.

If apple is incompetent and makes it less secure, I'm sure they'll fix it.

It's not controversial, you can still have your walled garden as-is.

The point of this is so that there is the possibility of escaping that walled garden, arguably welcoming more users into the ecosystem.

Nothing would change for you. Just like android users can keep using all things Google, they have the possibility of installing apps from other sources.

> BTW can your neighbor, who keeps saying that he's going to kill you, or maybe your friend, obtain a machine gun?

Thy are currently doing to Palestinians what they are suggesting Iran would potentially do to them.

If they had a deterrent, Israel would think twice. But since this neighbour stole a machine gun, they can do what they want...

My family safety feature is called linux.

I don't agree. They didn't get rich by creating value. They might have created value, but they got rich by keeping that value to themselves.

I would also argue that they don't create the value themselves, but their workers do. Just like that joke: a worker is admiring the boss's Ferrari, and the boss tells him "if you continue working hard, next year I'll have 2"

> "This revision attempts to implement something that has been deemed illegal in the EU and the United States. The only country in Europe with a roughly equivalent law is Russia," said Yen.

They can go anywhere in Europe, since that type of surveillance seems to be illegal

So it just goes to show that google acted in bad faith all along

At this point, Trump's and Putin's views very much align. So it makes sense they want to attack the same targets.

Ladybird (http://ladybird.org) is set to have an alpha version, sometime next year.

The project can be supported here: https://donorbox.org/ladybird

How can you say they're not focused on users?

Diplomats have a diplomatic passport. Or they can have a "laissez-passer" instead.

They are asked to have the visa linked (and attached) to their diplomatic document, instead of their personal passport.

Apparently, for insider trading

For encrypted mail, there is also tuta.com (previously Tutanota), Germany based

Or wind

Would you protect your family? Would you protect your friends?

Do they count on your protection and support (or you,on theirs)?

Do you tell them to just stop begging for your help and protection and ask what have they actually done for you?

You'd lose out on headaches from your customer not paying and having to waste resources following up on it.

If they can pay, then just pay for the service they got.

Seems pretty straightforward.

So we are granting them worldwide royalty-free licence to identify us uniquely and transfer that info to others.

Not the best privacy protection or control, and yet they claim "At Mozilla, we believe that privacy is fundamental"

> [...] Twitter [...]

X is not Twitter.

Twitter was a tool for free speech. X is a tool for Nazi propaganda.

I think people still haven't come to terms with that.

Calibre lets you manage your library, convert formats and there are plugins to remove DRM
