Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy (fortune.com)

Mozilla Corp., which manages the open-source Firefox browser, announced today that Mitchell Baker is stepping down as CEO to focus on AI and internet safety as chair of the nonprofit foundation. Laura Chambers, a Mozilla board member and entrepreneur with experience at Airbnb, PayPal, and eBay, will step in as interim CEO to run...

Caravaggio,

“Mozilla now makes most of its almost $600 million in annual revenue from promoting Chrome as the default search engine on its home page.”

Proofreading FTW.

Caravaggio,

Expect a wave of fingers cut off and eyes picked together with a stolen phone? Or kidnappings more likely?

Caravaggio,

Is there an unofficial Graphene OS ROM for S23? Because if there isn’t and you want to try it, the Pixel remains your only choice. Have you had a look at Zenfone (8/9/10)? When my S9 comes to its EOL, one of those will most likely be my choice. (I won’t lie, I prefer to have the 3.5mm jack on my phone!)

Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror

Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

Caravaggio,

What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the ‘correct’ order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that’s what I’d go for. If yes, and it’s Ubuntu that’s messing up your dual boot, I’d see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I’d go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

Caravaggio,

I’ve been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I’m writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.

Caravaggio,

OK specs overall but too big for me and no headphone jack, I wouldn’t get one.

Caravaggio,

For starters you might want to check privatezilla and bloatbox by Bel: www.builtbybel.com/appsgithub.com/builtbybel

Caravaggio,

What’s your long-term experience?

Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

Twitter is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it. (mashable.com)

By now, you may have heard about Elon Musk’s handpicked CEO for X, Linda Yaccarino, and her disastrous interview with CNBC’s Julia Boorstin at Vox Media’s Code 2023 event. However, somewhat overlooked amid some of the more viral moments of the discussion, Yaccarino dropped some previously unknown stats that don’t exactly...

Caravaggio,

I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d just pulled that 225M out of her ass to not look completely clueless, as it’s right in the middle of the ballpark 200-250M she mumbled about earlier.

Caravaggio,

Don’t know if more likely but yeah, it’s a possibility, too.

Caravaggio,

Haters gonna hate. Make FF great again and people will start coming back. Seethe more, and more people will switch to Brave if they haven’t yet.

Caravaggio,

There’s no push. You can completely ignore that part of Brave, which I do.

Caravaggio,

Yes, you can.

Caravaggio,

Mozilla deals with Google

With how much revenue comes from those deals, we might say it’s practically financed by Google. FF is more Google than Chromium-based Brave if you follow the money.

Caravaggio,

They haven’t been trying to sell me anything and setting up their own ad system independent from Google is a good thing, esp. when it’s transparent and optional. Brave has its problems but force-feeding users with ads or crypto isn’t one of them.

Caravaggio,

I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.

Mind sharing? I’m curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:

  • defaulting to Moderate safe search every couple of days
  • inability to provide me with good results for simple ‘[word] wiktionary’ queries
  • having to block some elements of their result templates manually, using their own browser’s filtering feature (featured snippets, definitions etc)
  • poorer search results compared to what they were a year, two ago

Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.

Caravaggio,

This. You’d be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.

Caravaggio,

Waterproofing requirement means that glue is mandatory even with the presence of a gasket

Huh?
