If by what you mean by Mozilla going downhill is losing marketshare.

  1. it's most likely because Google promoting Chrome whenever you visit google.

  2. Also add to that bad business decision they have made for example buying Pocket.

  3. Those at Mozilla helm i think is always bad. Brendan with his homophobia, Mitchell Baker with her salary rise while firing employees.

With his position back then Brendan could make an impact making the world less hateful place to be yet he chose not to by supporting ban on gay marriage.

After the backlash he stepped down, he started a startup company that make web browser which is now known as Brave (brave choice of name for unapologetic homophobic).

Quick question, has the relation between KDE (the organization) and Qt company improved? I remember reading about the tension regarding Qt 6 that will be available under different term such as waiting time for non paying license holder to use latest release.

It's still Webkit, no?

 

Cambodians vote Sunday in an election that's been widely dismissed as a sham, one that will extend the 38-year rule of Hun Sen and set the stage for a dynastic succession to his son.

Gonna play devil's advocate here.. I think most Mozilla money comes from Google and i think the reason Google keeps the money flowing to Mozilla is for Chrome to have a real competitor, Firefox to date is the only popular web browser with different engine and all that. Maybe it's fair for me to say that it resembles a tiny tiny fraction of why Intel keeps AMD alive back then.

As for EFF, i viewed them as just another NGO. For me most NGOs will have a non achievable goals, because it will be the dead of an NGO if they ever achive their goals. (No more money for them).

I'm not against people donating to Mozilla or EFF or Thunderbird Foundation. I think it will be better (yet longer process) if government can regulate big tech, much like what the European Union did with GDPR.

 

All over Europe, prices are rising with rampant inflation. At the border bazaar in Łęknica, Poland  this is not the case: Local stalls and shops have to keep prices low so as not to scare off German customers - the main buyers who cross the border looking for bargains. But low prices are not without consequences in a country where inflation is one of the highest in Europe. How do you make money, live with dignity and not lose customers in the process?

 

As Sri Lanka struggles to recover from its worst economic crisis in decades, its people are leaving for better opportunities abroad. Government figures suggest some 122,000 people have left the country till May this year - the same number that left the country in all of 2021! Faced with rising prices and growing poverty, their reasons for leaving are quite evident.
