Both Bing and Yahoo have outbid Google in certain countries in the past. There’s a new wave of AI powered startups with tons of venture capital. I could imagine them making sizable bids.

But I get what you mean. The main difference to your scenario is: search money will definitely not totally disappear, Mozilla has huge savings, and they can just finally pivot and focus on making a real premium offer that people would want to pay for.

They have enough cash reserves to last 3 years without any income. But 15% of income is Google free. If Google disappears, they will surely get an income hit, but someone else will gladly pay some price for that position, perhaps half of what Google is paying. People are really blowing this out of proportion.

Oh no, but that’s illegal. Please don’t. - love, Nintendo

Somes kids get digital allowances these days. I’m sure many parents prefer to track their children at every turn.

I’ve no idea. I haven’t used it single college.

Always been.

VS Code is an electron app, mostly likely coded by some flavour of Javascript developers, so I doubt it was ever planned to go in the same direction as Visual Studio. VS Code follows a design very close to what Sublime made popular.

OK?

The new software design trends is to break free for skeumorphism completely. “tabs” are no longer tabs, they are buttons or whatever. Firefox is doing the same.

And the most dangerous part here is the whole rethoric of “if you disagree, you are a Russian shill”.

Linus has never been the best communicator, but he usually speaks the truth. But this is just bonkers and wrong. Not everyone living in Russia has “ties with Russia” other than “they were born there”. If this is about sanctions, he could have still just told them that. But instead he just disrespected contributors completely and then double down in it by being xenophobic.

Yes, but this action sounds as effective against Russian espionage as burning any clothes that has red blue and white in them.

That’s just not the same thing and doesn’t solve my problem.

Been using lawnchair for years but there’s some things I wish it had to make it perfect. Namely, I want to be able to sort the app drawer by most used.

Depends what you mean be best. I choose FairPhone

Google had many little features over the years that just quietly disappeared.

“Material You” is the new design system on android where the theme adapts to you background. They are applying this new design system to the Android settings page.

Gorhill is free to do whatever he wants, of course, I thank him for all the good work. But his reaction is honestly childish and dangerous for the community. Once again his decision to pull the plug opens the door to abusers. Now when you go to the addons page and search for uBlock, you may find illegitimate extensions pretending to be uBlock which are trying to collect your data or worse. Less tech say people don’t know any better.

We have collectively agreed that Mozilla is a) not reviewing extentions enough, and b) reviewing too much.

Exactly and you can get better ones from other brands than the ones shipped with phones.
