because there are overdue hosting payments

oops.

Although it's quite an asshole move by discourse to communicate this so openly.

I wouldn't want to have a community hosted there when a forgotten expired credit card or something would immediately cause this message to show

I’m not sure if the issue lies on Discourse. The software itself is FOSS.

AFAIK I didn’t saw any limitation on the on-prem edition, so I don’t get it why a company like Mozilla doesn’t have the resources to handle that.

And, even if they are using Discourse’s Cloud infrastructure, it’s not common for services to reach the end of payment without sending a ton of warnings.

... Are you trying to steal my handle or what?

Step aside bro, there is a new sheriff in town 😅

I hope it's just an error and not actually them shutting them down

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 weeks ago

I assume there's just some payment fuckup somewhere. it happens

Actually no. If your customers are assholes, threat them as such.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

depends. Continue to not pay? Absolutely. One missed payment that could have easily have been a simple fuckup somewhere? No

Has anybody tried Zen Browser?

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, I used it the last three month but stopped now, it's nice but overall too buggy at least on Linux.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm finding it interesting, I prefer Librewolf.

[–] Danitos@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you know how can I migrate my Firefox data to Librewolf? I think my main concern is history and then open tabs.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 2 points 2 weeks ago

There is an option in settings to use Mozillas sync service. I would be lost without it. It brings all the bookmarks & add-ons with it.

Yes, I've been using it for a few months now, I love it and it is my daily driver. The ux is very nice. It is also very buggy when a new release comes out though, mostly because I don't think there nightly builds have enough users.

It didn’t work well for me on a 13” laptop screen. I didn’t want to give up that horizontal space.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can't turn off the sidebar?

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can, but why use zen if you don't care about vtabs?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As a protest against Firefox for people who still want to support Gecko. There are a few options, and Zen is one of them.

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well sure but that's a like...the last three days, type of thing.

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Installed it the other day and I like it a lot so far

Totally a coincidence. Mozilla would never do anything to spite the userbase.
