Yes. Although it’s possible to learn programming without knowing English, English is required for those who wants to be good programmers. All documentation is in English, naming and comments should be in English too, otherwise it would be hard to maintain code for developers from other countries.
Mozilla is payed for setting Google as a default search engine. That doesn’t contradict Firefox vs Chromium claim.
Some time ago Firefox started eating tons of RAM. I googled a bit and found it was actually AdBlock Plus eating RAM, so I switched to uBlock Origin. But not all people switched to another extension, some of them switched to anotger browser.
I hope they will return the original Angry Birds series to the stores.
I enabled everything but personalized extension recommendations. I want Mozilla to know how the browser is used, so they can improve it based on statistics rather than their assumptions.
Pricing for Ukraine didn’t change.
The Justice pic: a man yells at the kids stealing apples from his garden, while the kids are running away, loosing all the apples.
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
I mean blocking all communities from an instance by a user. Currently, it’s implemented on a client level in a few clients, but it obviously doesn’t work for the web UI. Blocking all users from a certain instance is not that useful, I guess.
Thanks a lot for your work.
When the possibility to block instances will be implemented?
I’m a Liftoff user, but I was waiting for Sync for Lemmy because I liked the design of Sync for Reddit (based on screenshots). Basically yes, Liftoff and Sync for Lemmy are pretty similar, but Sync also has a ton of adjustments and cool features Liftoff is missing. And Sync has clean appealing design. After using it Liftoff looks worse.
Regional pricing would be great. For my country ad-free price is ridiculously high.
I was talking about servers, not client apps.
Regarding the app, yes, $20 is too expensive for just turning off ads. Moon Reader Pro asks $8 for an ad-free experience, and yet I think it’s a bit too much for me. But it’s a market, and demand will correct the price. If nobody pays $20 to disable ads, the devs can consider reducing the price, at least temporarily. So I don’t see any problems here.
As for totally free apps, I consider them as a sort of gift. Some people are giving away the results of their labor for free, maybe because it’s their hobby, or because of ideology, but definitely because they have spare time to work on their apps. But it can change, and active development can stop. The only thing able to motivate them to continue the work is a profit, allowing them to spend some time without sacrificing anything else. We can end up with ads, subscriptions, single-time payments, or maybe just donations. I think it’s inevitable for active projects.
This platform needs money to keep going. If donations do not cover expenses, it will either find funding or just close. So, it may end up using “trappings of capitalism”.
I don’t get how they want make those attesters trustworthy. Any attester is installed on a user device, so its “private” key used for verdict signing can be retrieved by a bot author and used to make fake verdicts. Disregarding ethics of the proposal, it just won’t work in real world.
Liberalism is not related to posting or not posting critical articles. So, the meme and the text are not related in any way.
This game looked like a scam before release. The developers copied art style and their trailer scenes from other games, and never shown gameplay videos. In the trailers it looked like AAA, but was developed by a studio without required experience. There were doubts the game existed at all. Well, it existed, but was far from what trailers shown.
