"The number of people who have ever contributed to Plasma is definitely in the hundreds, maybe the thousands. But the number of current active contributors is less than 50. The number of daily regular contributors is, like, 8 people. Maybe 10 or 12."
So, just ~10 daily active developers are developing and maintaining a world class desktop like @kde. Good perspective about how good job they are actually doing. I wonder how big Windows and macOS desktop teams are.
Kommentierte einem reaktanten #Klimakrise-Verharmloser gestern zur post-fossilen #Friedensbewegung: „ Und auch Sie, lieber Herr Quentmeier, werden uns mit Ihren immergleichen Drukos in unserer Hoffnung und unserem Tun für die Energiewende als Friedenswende nicht aufhalten können.

Afterward, you might actually consider that maybe this was a great decision by the court.
Four far-right SCOTUS justices; one who was accused of sex assault, one who lied about her position on Roe v. Wade and then voted to kill it, one who stole Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination, and yet another who, along with his wife, has made conflicts of interest a family affair. Why should we believe these tainted individuals are now acting in good faith?

Mozilla, famosa per avere manager che guadagnano fino a 6mln $/anno (oltre il 30% della spesa), licenzia 60 dipendenti, l'istanza #Mastodon Mozilla.social subirà quella che #Mozilla definisce una "correzione strategica" con un "team molto più piccolo" e annuncia di concentrarsi sull'incorporazione dell'IA in #firefox.
Non è una bella immagine quella di mozilla che rincorre la gallina dalle uova d'oro dell'#IA

Per Falcon e altri browser per linux non mi sono mai trovato in quanto hanno spesso problemi e alla fine non è che siano così più performanti, su eeepc con brave configurato per bloccare il massimo di script permette una navigazione lenta ma accettabile.

Sowohl die - häufiger konservative - #Reaktanz wie auch die - häufiger progressive - #Arroganz entstehen nicht im völlig luftleeren Raum.
