They have a shitton of other products, services, and tech though?

Just because it’s not marketed at you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I interact with the development ecosystem that Microsoft largely controls. They’re constantly doing new stuff there.

Shit megacorps? Yeah. No innovation? No.

Thank you for making no effort to engage in conversation and instead trying to shut it down because it doesn’t agree with you.

Insinuating that I’m repeating talking points as a way to dismiss my opinion is the kind of bad faith comments no one wants here.

I’m familiar with them.

These are projects sitting years, maybe even a decade, away from maturity. IF web standards and capabilities don’t change at all over the next 5-10 years.

Hopefully that puts this into perspective. These are really cool projects, but without a massive influx of engineering effort and organization, they will likely be perpetually, hopelessly, behind the standard rate of change required of browsers. Nevermind meeting the current standards of performance, security, observability, ecosystem, user and developer experience.

It’s always good to check in on these projects yearly, see how it’s going, see if they are accelerating or slowing down. Eventually one of them will take off, and potentially leech resources from other similar projects.

Though, the nature of FOSS is that 1000 people will work on 200 different projects all trying to do the same thing, instead of combining and organizing efforts to go after the same unified goal.

This isn’t really a statement of fault but rather a statement of reality. Without dedicated full-time organization, this is usually how scattered resources solve problems. Which is a core problem here in that dedicated organization to rapidly grow the engineering effort for a particular project usually requires funding and full-time employees. To both market it to engineers as an interesting project, mature documentation and DevX, mature the onboarding experience for devs, and to handle the organizational aspects of distributing said work.

Everyone always says it’s easy, but by God I cannot figure out how to easily pop the blinds into or out of their mounted holders.

It’s a nightmare every time…

A company founded and funded on the concept of activity tracking? Private?

Also, when they first started they seemed to have an unlimited advertising budget, which is why they blew up. Where did that money come from, and what was the promise to those investors on how Brave will bring back revenue to them?

More like yes please, I get better results and better customization, and no ads or paid results.

It makes my life easier and speeds my workflows up. And unlike free alternatives I almost never find myself reverting to Google.

Kagi literally documents how this works in their blog post about it: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass

Perhaps you should start reading before writing?

Yeah, but they hold none of the actual real emotional needs complexities or nuances of real human connections.

Which means these people become further and further disillusioned from the reality of human interaction. Making them social dangers over time.

Just like how humans that lack critical thinking are dangers in a society where everyone is expected to make sound decisions. Humans who lack the ability to socially navigate or connect with other humans are dangerous in the society where humans are expected to socially stable.

Obviously these people are not in good places in life. But AI is not going to make that better. It’s going to make it worse.

Any fork will die a slow and painful death of it can’t get the necessary funding for project management and maintainer salaries.

It will also dwindle, hard, towards irrelevancy.

In world where the only viable browser is one owned and operated by Google.

CEO is paid for from the for profit. The majority of costs are engineering salaries for Firefox.

Wtf you on about?

The grand majority of all costs for Firefox are in engineering salaries. And there is no million dollar CEO relating to the nonprofit’s expenses, that CEO is paid for from funds from the for profit organization.

Browsers are CRAZY expensive to build and maintain. And teams of engineers are crazy expensive.

The red car is still the cause here.

The gray van is a consequence of that cause. It would happen regardless. Even if the person in the gray van was paying attention, someone else would not be paying enough attention and still wreck.

You’re confusing proximate cause and root cause. The van is a mechanism of failure, the red car is the cause of failure.

This is still the red car’s fault, entirely. The van of course is holding my ability for being the proximate cause, but at the end of the day blaming the van for not paying attention doesn’t actually prevent situations like these from occurring.

Found the Linux user.

Not Arc though, they would have said so

Really wish we didn’t have bots posting at all

I use jellyfin, and jellyfin is not safe to expose to the internet.

They have a handful of vulnerability and security holes that have been open for like 5+ years now. And the old emby architecture is quite difficult to work with.

32TB right now.

Got +80TB coming in the mail!

And offside backup coming soon ™️

And your simple command that covers all the file types supported, on any platform, is… What?

If you’re gonna bitch, and say your alternative is better, you had better cough up the alternative or your just full of shit…

I mean, why not?

They integrated accessibility focused, local, AI pretty well.

Loads of folks bitched about it because they were triggered by “AI”, but it’s essentially invisible, as it should be.

I hate naming things, that’s actually something AI is good at, hell yeah, let it name my shit for me please.

Then again, these communities are always full of Debby downers who hate on everything.

It’s going to take years once it actually renders pages correctly to not only be fast but also secure.

And then it’s going to take at least a decade for it to build the necessary ecosystem and ancillary tooling (use. Devtools) that other major browsers have.

And very likely unless it gains significant funding it will never catch up.

At the end of the day, browsers are absolutely crazy expensive to develop. It takes a significant number of engineers not only to maintain it but to build new features and keep up with web standards.

Mozilla is in a tight spot where they want to separate themselves from Google’s funding, but to do that they need to make money.

They have a user base that is very difficult to monetize.

Which means the user base which cares about privacy has put themselves in a position where they will now lose privacy in order for the tools they use to continue existing.

It’s a shitty situation all around.
