All I want Mozilla to do is discontinue all their current projects and reconstitute all the projects they previously discontinued. Is that so unreasonable

Mozilla seems to have been consistently run by people who think the only way forward is to match Google and Microsoft, mistake for mistake.

@foone The strategic need to get money outside of Google and nostalgia for the Netscape Navigator days seem to drive everything.

(TBF having a source of funding beyond Google’s desire to have nominal competitor for antitrust proceedings, is very important, and extremely difficult given how vocal a minority of users and employees are.)

@foone Mozilla loves to "I can fix him" at every obviously horrible technology.

Foxbrush is standing next to a burning computer with a tongue blep, holding a screwdriver.

There are various arrows pointing at things in the image with texts, from bottom left to bottom right around clockwise:

There is an arrow pointing at the burning computer, the text says 'Serveless very soon™'

The next arrow is pointing at the fire on the server, saying 'The "hot new stuff"'

The top left arrow points at the smoke pile coming from the fire and the text says 'Your data'"

The next arrow points at the smoke cloud, text saying 'The "Cloud"'

The last arrow points at foxbrush, with the text saying 'DevFops Engineer"

Friendly reminder that if you download software updates for Fedora or AlmaLinux from London, there's good odds that your software updates are coming from an HP thin client sitting in a road box in Surrey.

This is perfectly fine, and how free software / the Internet actually works.

Context: @warthog9 and I run a managed appliance service called MicroMirror, where we take cash donations (https://en.liberapay.com/phirephly/) and use them to deploy free software download mirrors based on the cheapest hardware possible.

https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2023/05/building-micro-mirror-free-software-cdn.html

The B4SH ISP in Surrey volunteered to host one of our appliances in their network, so they donate space, power, and transit capacity for the server we ship them to just plug in. For some reason, this was the best spot for them to plug this server is. 🤷

We are up to 35 of these Micro sized download mirrors worldwide. Because these sorts of things just tend to get out of hand for me.

I've had a few folks ask me how I make https://www.thestopbits.net load so quickly.

It's a boring answer: it's tiny.

There's almost nothing you download when you visit. There's no JavaScript and we use whatever font you have as the default.

It's not a trick, it's just how things used to be. It has to load on a 28.8 modem, so on your modern machine it's going to feel zippy.

Modern websites can feel zippy too.

I maintain that it's eugenics. By removing mitigations, they're passively killing us. By banning masks, it's not so passive. It's willful. #COVID #eugenics

An exchange discussing contrasting views on COVID-19 policies, with one user expressing horror at a coworker's opinion on high-risk individuals needing to die off, then the realization this would become policy. The other person shares their experience of bingeing "Top Chef" during lockdown.

I sometimes think about trying Rust since they've fixed some of the major language design issues I like and the community evangelism and extreme hype is starting to die down. But I just can't help but think of the last time I tried it, the getting started guide “hello, world!” equivalent added one dependency that then pulled in 25 separate transitive dependencies totaling 97 megabytes of source code (as in, it would likely take actual years to read through it all to see what it all does). Left a very bad taste in my mouth that that's the very first thing you do in the official guide for a hello world program, and that the guide does it without even a word spared to “oh wow look at all this shit that's downloading!”

I think when I posted about it originally someone actually went in and made a PR to remove a number of the dependencies because it was a bad look, but the fact they had to go in afterwards because of bad optics rather than just not pulling the dependencies in in the first place still says volumes to me

"fun" fact for those of you who weren't aware:

**the first version of a hashtag that's used is the canonical case** (as in lower vs upper case)

that means if you create a hashtag, **camelCase it!!!** on the first use!!!

otherwise the autofill will forever suggest the lowercase version and people will often default to the autofill. this creates a less accessible fediverse.
