Today, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo step into the role of CEO of Mozilla Corporation, focusing on becoming the trusted software company.Rebecca Smith (The Mozilla Blog)
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.

The curl project moved over its source code hosting to GitHub in March 2010, but we kept the main bug tracker running like before - on Sourceforge. It took us a few years, but in 2015 we finally ditched the Sourceforge version fully.daniel.haxx.se

so tired of surveillance only becoming an issue when it's the chinese doing it

The rhetoric "Bad, iRobot is now owned by Chinese" is racist.
- It's not like the US has privacy protection / safeguard for what the robot record / store
- It's not like the US is a democracy anymore
- It's not like it was made in USA either. Actually the new owner is also the manufacturer.
So why is it bad?

Pensaba que entendía las bases de la álgebra lineal (vectores, matrices). Pero me he puesto a ver las fundaciones, las propiedades de un espacio vectorial, y resulta que no. Aprender es bueno.
Aunque a veces te encuentrass con cosas como, "El espaceio vectorial formado por las funciones que mapean los números reales consigo mismos constituye un espacio de infinitas dimensiones." Y bueno, ahí la intuición geométrica se va un poco a tomar por el culo.
Pero el tema parece ser que te puedes montar un espacio vectorial con cualquier campo que se comporte bien con una adición y multiplicación, y las funciones hacen eso.
jejeje, estudié GFs en la universidad, y me sonaba alguna perversión de operar con polinomios mediante matrices, pero no recuerdo lo suficiente como para ser útil.
Pero bueno, ¿no es uno de los principios matemáticos que "todo es lo mismo"? Todo es una matriz, todo es una función, todo es un anillo... ¡el "si tengo un martillo todo son clavos" definitivo!
@yo Sí, la verdad es que es una cosa que me gusta y a la vez me exaspera un poco, porque de repente te das cuenta de que algo que estabas haciendo de una forma complicada e ineficiente se puede hacer de otra manera si concibes la estructura de otra forma.
En fin, llevo unos 4 meses desde que decidí a volver a estudiar un poco en serio, así que tampoco he llegado muy allá. Y cada vez que me intento orientar, hay más cosas interesantes pero todavía fuera de mi alcance: análisis funcional, lógica algebraica abstracta, el operador Leibniz... Por lo menos ahora vagamente sé de que va el tema, aunque todavía no estoy en situación de aprenderlo.
Bloody hell #FreeBSD, why do you have to rebuild LLVM/clang every. single. time? Despite WITHOUT_CLEAN? Three changed files. None of them compiler-related.
And the docs I can find on meta mode don't work. Like at all. "No such target: buildworld"
I feel dumb. And old. Dumb old dude out of touch.

oh boy
Presne tak, kašľať na korupciu a iné nepodstatné veci, treba začať bojovať s koláčovou mafiou, kvôli ktorej musíme konsolidovať!
Mozilla just named Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as their new CEO. He says:
“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”
RIP, Firefox.

Mozilla Corporation has named its new CEO in replacing interim CEO Laura Chambers.www.phoronix.com
This might be the point in time where a successful project – #Mozilla – may need to be forked by the community (especially developers) into a new, unenshittified reimagination.
It's worked with LibreOffice (previousloy OpenOffice), MariaDB (previously MySQL), Valkey (Redis), ... and many more.
I have hopes that the recent turn of events won't kill the former browser of common sense. There's hope it'll become a 'PhoenizillaFromTheAshes' to arise without #enshittification.
Let's support a world with less #GenAI/#LLM and other shit in it, which is harmful to society, mental health, democracy as well as our environment.
Reasons #mozilla will be dead within a few years
- They just appointed a CEO who has literally never built anything in his life except a PowerPoint deck
That's it. That's the list.
Mozilla has a new CEO who:
- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of bingo profile the whole community has been waiting for.

Nesplnitelná speciální prosba
Dcera přišla s tím, že by se chtěla naučit #parkour - takový to skákání odevšud všude. Slíbil jsem, že využiju mocné síly asociálně sociální sítě #Fediverse, abych se poptal, jestli tu není někdo, kdo ho dělá a třeba by nám něco natočil (tutoriály a ukázky) na #VHSky
Není tu přeci jen někdo?
