They made the same mistake IE made: around Firefox 3, they allowed their browser to become terribly slow, and so Chrome ate their lunch. Because let's be honest, Chrome was and still is so much faster than Firefox, and that's why

I also blame the Mozilla Corporation for that: including WebKit in your software is a piece of cake. So that's what the default browsers of GNOME/KDE/etc do. Gecko not so much (in fact, has there been any effort in this arena

You better arrange for your suicide, because it seems inevitable. The terrible mismanagement of the Mozilla Corporation is to blame.

Isn't that what they already do?

While real problems are largely ignored, stupid stuff like this takes up all the airtime and moves a sizable amount of votes. Democracy is just a way of keeping the masses docile.

>With everything that is going on with open source licensing What exactly is going on with open source licencing? Is anybody violating open source licences?

So like in any other country? Except for the forbidding, of course.

The article mentions he's made attempts to fix some of those issues and the problems he's encountered.

All mails I've sent to maintainers of packages regarding issues with them have been ignored. I think they prefer you to use the bug tracker. (Which sucks, so I always end up doing nothing about it.) In the end I switched all my servers

Sending a curl to an endpoint from the client is not push but pull. The idea of push notifications is that they arrive immediately.

You can configure it locally in your kernel, but your ISP will most likely close your connections for you, especially if you're behind a CGNAT.

So that's why so many companies say they use Python? So their competitors become stupidly slow?

I mean, if you want to say something as controversial as that, and you decide to wait until more people say it first, you may have to wait a lifetime. (Once again, I haven't looked at the data, so I don't necessarily agree with wh

On one hand, in this political climate it's really stupid to say something like that. On the other, someone has to be the first person to say it. (Not that I necessarily agree with what he said)

It's not only about being closed source. They are also not in the EU, and they are a for-profit (an Aktiengesellschaft). The only reason I don't use them is because to get the full experience (IMAP, especially) I need to pay them.

That reminds me of myself. I remember when I moved from screen to tmux and the default "master" key changed from ^A to ^B. All the time lost changing it back to ^A in .tmux.conf. In the end I simply got used to ^B and that's

I guess the signatures are there in case someone complains? They can just pull the check and see if the signature is legit. But checking every signature is simply too much work.

Isn't a.out the default output format of gcc? I think if you type "gcc myfile.c" you get an a.out executable.

They simply don't want to read any bug reports from Firefox users because they don't want to support that browser.

If they constantly say they are using Skype it's because they are being paid to say so, not because they are actually using Skype (which they could be, of course).
