The Privacy Notice doesn't say anything problematic at all, why is everyone acting like Mozilla is going to be feeding every keystroke into a database/AI? It's just saying that they're allowed use your inputs to browse to the sites you've asked for, and to give the form data/uploads/mic/whatever to the sites you're using.

A few words cherry picked from the middle of a sentence isn't how legal stuff works.

I assume Peta just wants to be in the news? The Sly Old Fox is not an offensive name.

The phrasing of "First actual case of bug being found" definitely sounds like it's a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say "a literal bug lol".

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn't say that Hopper invented the term

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it's not doing it on the server so...

Congratulations on an excellent event, and I look forward to next year's. The codebase should be more settled then and hopefully you'll manage to get a decent amount of sleep, unlike this time.

Also, happy birthday!

Those photos really sell the value of those satellites. It seems ridiculous that we don't have replacements up there given how many launches there's been in recent years.

Distro watch rankings are just which page gets the most hits. Get a bunch of different IPs to load LemmyLinux and it'll be number one (and then actual people will click on it to see what it is and why it's number one).

What I'm hearing is you'd rather that the developer used their time to produce binaries so you don't need to spend your own time.

The problem with open source is that people expect a lot time and effort to go into things like bug fixes, documentation and support, when often the devs start out making something to scratch a personal itch. They then share it for the benefit of others, and it can be a slippery slope where you can end up with a second job, except you don't get paid or even thanked.

Open source burnout is a big problem.

I hadn't heard of it, but it looks like it wouldn't have much use outside of stalking or doxing.

IPs and access logs, plus email addresses aren't public and are the kind of thing law enforcement wants.

I wonder what they found.

It's only for very old Kindles, really - Amazon have a new version they use (azw3) and everyone else uses epub.
