No, I don't think that is where the cuts will be. But it should be.

It would hurt badly at the beginning, but it would be better in the long run if Mozilla were to lose that Google search payment. Take some of the financial hit out of the c-suite comp package. Let those more interested in tech industry CEO money go work for the likes of Google, etc. Mozilla should be looking to attract someone whose singular motivation is not money.

Get the ring to Mordor Mr. Frodo.

I week long boycott will do nothing. If that is the most you are prepared to inconvenience yourself to send a message, then just give up now.

While this is nice, I would really like to see more fully independent options that are not just a proxy for Google/Bing. I realize that is a lot easier said than done, but this kind of solution is not providing a real alternative in anything but name only. Google/Microsoft fully control the APIs being used. so this only exists so long as those they are trying to provide an alternative for allow them to exist. Which will not scale if they are anything but a blip on the radar.

When are they going to start coming for the black folks so we can watch Clarence Thomas squirm?

Dozens of them were for already-paid subscriptions to The Associated Press, Politico and other media services that the Republican administration said it would discontinue. Others were for research studies that have been awarded, training that has taken place, software that has been purchased and interns who have come and gone.

They turned off auto renew and deleted a few rows and columns from some spreadsheets. Top notch bussiness-ing there Elon.

With Heroic for what its worth, I have had some luck on difficult games going into the settings for the troublesome game, going to the "other" tab and ticking the box for "Use Steam Runtime".

Gamers on Linux have minimal setup overhead.*

*as long as you stick with Steam. Anything else means going to Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher, etc which is far more hit or miss.

Added the missing qualifier to one of the articles bullet points for them.

All such communication from DOGE to federal employees should be ignored by the agengies being targeted.

Make them have to actually do more than "talk big". Most people like Musk don't have the actual backbone to do anymore than talk.

No point in replying, odds are they aren't going to read all of those emails anyway. Or if you do, don't put much effort into it.

If they want to clean out a department, a well worded email isn't going to be what saves your job.

Even if you are one of the ones not fired, it would be debatable if working there after the dust settles would be better than the bread line.

Just more government fingers in places they shouldn't be from the party of supposedly small government.

Oh I don't disagree, it is worth it. I ended up paying for it myself before I switched to Joplin. I just went down a rabbit hole of realizing I technically could self host the backend and stubbornly tried to make it work well beyond what was good sense at the time. 😅

Sounds to me like Amazon is reducing the value proposition of their product. For me, additional roadblocks to being able to enjoy something they way I want when I have paid for it reduces the value of the product itself.

For example, if a DRM free book in an standards compatible format costs $20, then the DRM version I can still download for offline viewing is worth $10. The DRM version I can't download is now worth more like $1-$5 depending on how badly I would want to read it while still supporting the author.

And yes, ebooks from the major sellers aren't worth much to me and I rarely rent (because you're not really buying) them.

It is a really good app. But was a pain in the ass to keep the archive in sync using multiple different platforms without paying for their sync addon in my experience. You can roll your own sync with stuff like Syncthing, cloud storage, etc. But the archive had a bad habit of seemingly finding ways to get out of sync.

One of these days you would think one of the other powerful people in one of the other branches of government would get upset at this stuff.

And no one in there mind will show up at those out reach meetings. That is just telegraphing where to stake out for the ICE folks.

I don't like it when I agree with the general notion of something Trump says or does. Makes me feel dirty.

It's weird that the most natural complexion in the photo is the painting of a dead guy on the wall.

Because X is owned by a pro-hitler probably Holocaust-denying shit heal.
