If by what you mean by Mozilla going downhill is losing marketshare.

  1. it's most likely because Google promoting Chrome whenever you visit google.

  2. Also add to that bad business decision they have made for example buying Pocket.

  3. Those at Mozilla helm i think is always bad. Brendan with his homophobia, Mitchell Baker with her salary rise while firing employees.

With his position back then Brendan could make an impact making the world less hateful place to be yet he chose not to by supporting ban on gay marriage.

After the backlash he stepped down, he started a startup company that make web browser which is now known as Brave (brave choice of name for unapologetic homophobic).

[–] gaw@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Quick question, has the relation between KDE (the organization) and Qt company improved? I remember reading about the tension regarding Qt 6 that will be available under different term such as waiting time for non paying license holder to use latest release.

For reference https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2020q2/006098.html

Hostel in Rome and Free Dinner (lemmy.cafe)
 

Hi. I haven't got any chance to ask this question when I'm in Rome back in 2019.

I'm from Global South so even though I'm not youth anymore I'd stay in a youth hostel (you know the one with bunk-bed thing, right?) because that's all i can afford. Somehow these €25-30 Hostel are giving away free dinner. What i can imagine is that the hostel already made thin profit due to the price yet they are able to do this.

Can anyone explain if this part of culture in Rome? Because i didn't get the same warm atmosphere when I'm in Milano and Genoa.

Just to make it clear, i stay in two different Hostel on two seperate occasions and those two Hostel in Rome giving away free dinner.

Anyway, what I admire is that the free dinner thing really bring people together, people from different country sitting together in one huge table asking each other questions, you know just to get to know each other. And after dinner all the people from the hostel including some staff are all went out hanging out together at a local bar. From that point i notice that me and all the people there are not really different, maybe physically different but the way we think not much different, i think we are all good people.

Hi. As someone who are not from Paris or Europe all i could think is that everyone who ride the train will already bought their ticket as they will need it to pass the turnstile, so i often throw the ticket away after checking in at the turnstile.

Polish Border Bazaars | ARTE.tv Documentary (www.youtube.com)
 

All over Europe, prices are rising with rampant inflation. At the border bazaar in Łęknica, Poland  this is not the case: Local stalls and shops have to keep prices low so as not to scare off German customers - the main buyers who cross the border looking for bargains. But low prices are not without consequences in a country where inflation is one of the highest in Europe. How do you make money, live with dignity and not lose customers in the process?
