Mozilla agrees that we need to improve search competition, but the DOJ’s proposed remedies unnecessarily risk harming browser competition instead.
The only one hurting browser competition is Mozilla. They want to keep sucking at the teat of BigTech. They don't want to be a non-profit with a focused mission, constrained by recurring and one-off revenues. They want to be an adtech company, bUt wiTH pRivAcY. The judge should absolutely rip the band-aid off. If Mozilla sinks, it sinks.
The Thunderbird team spent a good chunk of time a few days ago replying everywhere they were mentioned on Mastodon, insisting that the problems did not apply to them:
The Firefox Terms of Use do not apply to Thunderbird or any other products we develop (e.g. Appointment, K-9 Mail)

Maybe go fuck yourself, work in verification/validation for a decade at 40k/year, and then maybe we'll consider you." So I said "oh well" and wrote code instead. If I could tell my decade-younger self one thing, it'd be: Learn Chinese.
China diverts doomsday asteroid... to maintain its big panda paw's grip on the world's rare earth mineral supplies. Don't look up!
Dedicate no more than two or three replies unless you're absolutely sure that the person is engaging in good faith. The single biggest tip-off that they are not is that they do not engage with the core of your case, and instead do any number of other things: (1) snipe at edge cases or other minutea (2) change the subject (3) move the goalposts (4) etc.

Glock G19 compact 9mm, three yards, ten-round group. Still got some work to do.
Haven't been to the range in a while. My trigger discipline has definitely decayed. Still not terrible though.
