I told you when you did.

Dollars.

Google is giving hundreds of millions because they fear regulators getting involved.

A handful of people who follow Mozilla on Mastodon saying they’re willing to pay up to a meagre $5 per year won’t do anything.

I’m angry it took this long. Should’ve been banned the second they came onto the market.

Banning them from ordering stock without any warning is the exact opposite of giving them a short period to make arrangements.

Go read your own comments. You equated them.

Having a beer is not the same as raping a 4 year old.

He did reverse, that’s my point.

An opinion however gross isn’t a crime.

Never said it was. Now can you answer the question. Would you believe this person was genuine?

You’ve said it constantly. Child rape isn’t ok.

The kind of people you find on Mastodon following Firefox news are not the same as the average person. They are a bubble.

A few thousand people paying $5 per year is not enough to replace hundreds of millions.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s much Mozilla can do other than cut costs with it seeming like the Google funding will be getting severely hampered.

They can’t get money from thin air.

You’re replying to a lemmy.ml user, they almost certainly think pulling out of NATO and allowing Putin to continue his genocide in Ukraine is a good thing.

It’s very normal to give businesses a short period to make arrangements/sell off stock.

They were never going to pass a law that banned them right from that second.

This is a good move. The damage that will continue to happen for the next 6 months or whatever is miniscule compared to the damage of just allowing it to continue indefinitely. Hopefully other countries follow suit.

In your comment where you equated them, then every single comment after.

He did say that.

Do you believe he suddenly changed his mind on an opinion he held and shouted to the world, 2 days after it became apparent he might lose his job over it?

If someone committed fraud, then went to court and said “your honour, I actually agree with you. Fraud is wrong. I came to that conclusion this morning.” would you believe them?

Quote what exactly I said that was either of those things.

It’s what all of your comments have been about. Don’t play dumb.

Support. Warranties. Replacement parts.

Disposable vapes will be banned in the UK starting in June 2025.

Based.

Moving to Europe where… there’s an even greater level of sanctions against Russia, and the population is more anti-Russia?

I mean sure, I’d like that, but it wouldn’t have the effect you want it to lmao

And no, maintainers for sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their positions (where they can push kernel changes with zero approval).

Now they have to wait for their changes to be approved like everybody else. Oh no the horror.

Doesn’t effect all Russians. Just 11 Russian maintainers that work for sanctioned Russian companies. Who can still contribute, they just can no longer make changes to the kernel with no approval/oversight.

I know people meme about “Zen 5%” (sidenote: genuinely a clever quip), but most of that is down to AMD massively reducing the power draw of the chips.

If you set it to the same power limits as Zen4, you can get large performance improvements.

Gamers have been saying for years that stuff is getting too power-hungry, but when steps were made to reverse this, they collectively lost their minds.

Seriously, what are they expecting, a 25% improvement in performance at half the power draw, while staying on a 5nm-family node?

AMD were dumb for thinking gamers give even the slightest fuck about power usage. Gamers would much more readily accept a CPU going from 120W to 500W if it meant an imaginary +20% perf uplift over a CPU going from 120W to 70W with a +5% perf uplift. I say imaginary because nobody with a high end CPU and a 4090 actually plays their games at 1080p low.

While not theoretically impossible it’s impractical and unheard of for multiple trusted independent audit companies to be commissioned on an extremely regular basis.

Trustable proprietary software is like nuclear fusion as an energy source. Theoretically possible, but we sure as shit don’t have it.

Indeed.

However, proprietary code cannot be trusted to be trustworthy. FOSS can it’s just not guaranteed.

Surely you’ve realised your instance has a huge pro-russian, pro-china tankie presence?

Lemmy.ml admins me for being against Russia invading Ukraine and committing genocide lmao

If you aren’t a tankie, migrating your account could be something to consider.
