I don’t know nearly enough history to be an expert on this subject, but I’ve heard that one of the causes of the Enlightenment was because peasants and poors were able to afford to spend time learning and creating, rather than substinance-farming.
It works great. I never open a browser to search for mail: http://mutt.postle.net/searching/
I learned about mutt ~12 years ago, and it changed my email-interface forever
all mutt, all the time
Yup, same for me
I’ve been using the ‘Silence’ app, which lets only known-callers ring your phone. The rest get sent straight to voicemail
I’m not who you replied to but… I’ve run a bunch of models through https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile and https://ollama.com/. I’m lucky enough to have a decent video-card (24GB), but if you are willing to be a bit more paitient, or run a lower model, you’ll probably be able to get it going.
I grew up in California and had the opposite experience. I had friends who grew up speaking Mexican-Spanish at home, and would take the Spanish classes to get an easy A.
The teachers never understood what the Mexican-Spanish students were saying, and kept telling the native speakers that they were doing it wrong.
Honestly, I just block the people who keep repeating that kinds of BS. They aren’t worth my mental energy.
Does that mean I miss out on a bunch of discussions on .world? yes, but not wasting my mental energy on bad-faith arguments is worth it.
Install Ganeti, or K3s, and do a lot of things!
I don’t think that’s even remotely true. While it is true that the USA has it’s fair share of racists and sexists, Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama is one of America’s most popular presidents.
Harris lost because she ran a terrible campaign, on the coatails of another terrible campgaign, from a terrible president.
Yeah, you were clear. I thought I was being clear when I said that I don’t want to fund the “open web” as Mozilla defines it. I only want to fund Firefox development.
“…you’re funding the foundation itself…”
But that’s what I don’t want. I don’t care about the foundation, as it doesn’t share my values.
“I’m sure if more people donated, they could actually be incentivized to make such an option available, but they barely get any donations compared to the revenue they make from the Google subsidy, so it’s just unreasonable to expect them to put in that additional effort, especially when the primary thing the vast majority of the money goes to is Firefox staff, development, and related server hosting anyways.”
This is the problem though. How many people don’t donate because, like me, they don’t want to pay for a bloated CEO salary, or unrelated projects? I don’t find it unreasonable at all, rather it would help them focus on what their base actually cares about. They have a lot of fat to cut, and this would point out where their resources should be spent, compared to how their resources are currently spent.
Are they going to make as much money from donations as Google gives them? no, but that’s a good thing. It’ll help them focus.
I feel like my point was pretty clear, but to spell it out: Mozilla is mis-managing their resources. I want to make sure the resources that I give to them only go towards what I consider to be worthwhile projects.
But I don’t want to donate to the “open internet” or the non-profit, I want to donate directly to Firefox. How can I ensure that the money I spend gets spent on that and only that?
But that’s not donating to Firefox, that’s donating to Mozilla, which I don’t want to do, because they seem to be wasting their money.
Yeah, donations. And yes, more cost-cutting measures. They need both, to gain more revenue, and to cut costs. They seem pretty bloated to me.
Sure, but can I spend money on just Firefox? or does it go to unrelated activities? I’m OK spending money on FF, I’m not OK paying for the CEO.
“They already take in donations…”
Where can I dontate to Firefox? Not Mozilla, and not a fund that goes to CEO-pay or other expences, but straight to Firefox
He blew up innocent people with bombs and drones. He tortured people. I’d say he was indeed terrible.
Don’t get me wrong: he was one of the better presidents that we’ve had, but that bar is embarrasingly low.
