Bullshit DMCA abuse

Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla’s funding.

Despite what others have mentioned, running a different LLM locally, it’s also possible to get ChatGPT to do this sort of stuff by telling it to participate in a “debate exercise” and giving it its talking points.

No, they’ll just see the management summary that Firefox occupies less than 0.5% of their users’ marketshare and prioritize their budget accordingly.

If you use a third-party analytics service such as Google Analytics, as almost all serious parties do (with their nice dashboards and reports), then you’ll notice Firefox is severely underrepresented because the request never reaches Google

Also, Firefox is in a tough situation where they have to purposefully shoot themselves in the foot, because their builtin tracking protection means Firefox usually doesn’t show up in a lot of browser usage stats.

That is patently false. It was developed to help develop the Linux kernel, which famously has multiple decentralized repositories managed by different maintainers.

The fact that most companies use it in a way you describe, with only one central repository, does not mean that git is not distributed.

Please point out the actual transphobia? You can’t just use that word willy-nilly.

What a weird set of events. It’s not even clear what was actually used as infection method.

Welp, this is the most left field KilledByGoogle entry yet.

I highly recommend reading the Github thread as this is not at all an accurate representation. These features you’re talking about are off by default. Removing them from the existing package is just breaking existing users. There’s already a report from a user who can’t access their passwords because yubikey support was suddenly removed. You don’t do that to users just because you suddenly develop an opinion as a package maintainer that you feel is important. There was no dialogue, no consideration and a very rude, dismissive attitude of Julian.

Maybe they should pretend it’s right next to the WMDs. I’m sure they’ll find it then.

Fuck me, ten years already?

Not really it seems. Steam has raised it to the MAX_INT - 5, Fedora originally planned to do so to but held off after concerns from engineers that it could lead to situations where having too much mapped would lead to the kernel killing other processes to solve OOM situations so they settled on the number that has now also been adapted by Arch. At least, according to another Phoronix article.

Either you misunderstand or the person you are responding to is. If you retroactively add a license to the current state of the code (for example by committing a new LICENSE file and adding the new license to the top of each file), or course that applies to the entire state of that code as of that commit. What is more difficult is that earlier commits won’t have that license explicitly unless you rewrite git history to make that happen (which is possible but tedious).

You can always relicense code you own the rights to. You can even dual license it, or continue to use it commercially in terms contradicting the license you open sourced it as, as long as you have the permission of every contributor.

The idea that a license added would only apply to code added after the license change is very funny.

Just wait until they fire you for not returning to office

Oh no! Anyway…

Oh don’t forget illegal spyware and surveillance software.

Already?!

On a hard drive. No, not a motherboard connected to a hard drive, a hard drive by itself. Sprite is brilliant.
