As long as most rooms of the entire matrix network are replicated on the matrix.org homeserver

Is this a dealbreaker for people though?

Can AI reliably tell if a cat is longer than a banana yet?

Started running a homeserver recently, trying to get non-techy friends to join, can confirm this is difficult (the main one right now being people using old software on their phones, one friend was running iOS 14 for crying out loud)

Once set up I find it OK as a user

This story marks the loss of another revenue stream for Mozilla. Their business is increasingly reliant on Google’s search deal for money, and if that money stops, they’ll have to face that same reckoning. For example, they won’t be able to afford paying their CEO millions of dollars a year any more.

I think they should start repositioning themselves now as an activist organisation that is fighting corporate interests trying to control the internet. If they can do that, I think a lot of people would pay to use Firefox

Enough internet users are familiar with the adage “if a product is free, you are the product”, through personal experience

I’d be OK with paying for Firefox if it meant that it was stripped of all association with advertisers. And presumably, if Mozilla were freed from that association, they’d be able to make a stronger case for how they’re protecting a free internet

Mozilla should fire their non-technical staff, strongly make the case for how they’re fighting for a free and open internet, and use a subscription model for Firefox to pay the bills

OpenWrt with AdGuard Home is one option. Big fan of the former, haven’t used the latter

I like the idea of automatically fastening zips in places with limited access (like the tent example in the article), but unless the failure rate is very low, you’d always need a backup fastening technique on hand

I haven’t searched about this so I don’t know, but it’d be cool if there were a way to import/export markdown tables into LibreOffice

Huh, I thought it was called the Mandala effect

I use markdown too, except I keep the markdown file in a self-hosted wiki (wiki.js)

It’s versioned and accepts git as a backend

I remember getting a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when Google removed “Don’t be evil” from their Code of Conduct
