I personally wouldn't go that far tbh, but I haven't rly looked into it that much so idk.
To me it seems like they are still maintaining Firefox, Gecko, and Thunderbird (which is more independent tho IIRC) quite well.
I use Thunderbird directly and Firefox through Librewolf
(haven't rly had the drive to look into Thunderbird analogues to Librewolf. Should rly do that tho)
Bc this seems to be a crosspost, imma cross-comment:
I get wanting to phase out Mercurial in favour of git. But why did they have to choose Github T_T
Ideally they would have just hosted a their own Forgejo instance (heck, a Gitlab one would have been better too FFS). Even just using Codeberg and donating would have been better
The for-profit side of Mozilla seems to have succeeded in purging most of the principles Mozilla used to have (IK they have been eroding over the years and sometimes been too "pragmatic", this is just the cherry on top of a long series of shitpiles)
If Mozilla actually stood for a free/libre future they'd push Forgejo to the lvl they need it to be (if it already isn't capable of all that stuff. Haven't rly interacted much with it). Since they will still keep the CI/CD on Mercurial for now, there is even less valid reasons for using Github...

Exactly; a lot of international organisations are already located in Switzerland, so there shouldn't be many gripes with that (also means you aren't at the whims of a global empire in self-destruct mode)
sure, keep insulting people with principles while buying into proprietary software being "open source washed" (for the lack of a better word)
Every time this licenses comes up I have to repeat myself: It's source-available proprietary (free)ware; "source first" is "open source washing" at it's finest
From an old comment of mine:
[...] It strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.
IMO ["but protecting muh devs and making it financially viable as a for-profit"] is not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.
You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)
E.g.: AFAIK the QT Framework (which I don't particularly like) is dual licensed, making it both Foss that ppl have to contribute back to and viable as a for-profit
On Fedora, Btrfs has been the default for years now iirc. It's modern and rock solid too (as long as you avoid Raid 5/6) and has some features I can't live without nowadays:
Its' lead dev is also so full of himself, it's insufferable
FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.
"Let's point many completely different combinations of characters at the same file"

Luckily I've always kinda seen (at least aspects of it) as an interactive book on steroids, which is why I always read everything lol
But I rly regret save scumming in my first play through, took quite a bit of magic away as in "I'm bending the experience to my will and not enjoying it fully" which I'm trying to remedy now
But ye, it is truly a masterpiece and a wonderful work of art. The experience is just 👌.
The fact that we'll never get a true successor might just be the most disco thing about it all....
But I'm always save-scumming to get Kim on the dance floor no matter what
"understandable, have a nice day"
Doesn't seem like it, but users who don't know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading
