Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) [42] is widely used for second-party tracking in smart TVs. As shown in Figure 1, ACR periodically captures frames (and/or audio), builds a fingerprint of the content, and then shares it with an ACR server for matching it against a database of known content (e.g., movies, ads, live feed). When the fingerprint matches, ACR server can determine exactly what piece of content is being watched on the smart TV.

As a general stance "People want me to give them free shit. I say gtfo.", I understand you.

That's just not proportional to Mozilla and Firefox. In 2022 they had a total revenue of $595 million¹. That allows them to hire 3305 software developers at a salary of $180.000. Google was responsible for 81% of that revenue¹. If you remove Google and their influence from the equation you're left with $113 millon and Mozilla can then hire 628 software developers. I think that would be more than adequate to maintain a browser.

You could try out Linux Mint¹, they're Ubuntu based and disable Snap by default².

It's a pillar of democracy to protect the autonomy of the people.

It is a human right..

Is that still the default answer on stackoverflow?

Thank you Microsoft! Eternal gratitude for the kind things you do for us in the Free Software community...

I'm not explicitly mentioned in the post, but effectively the maintainer duties for the Mono project now fall on me.

I am going to have to request that issues and code contributions be refiled at Winehq for those who still care about them. I have enough on my plate just getting things up and running in their new home, along with my other duties at CodeWeavers, and I don't have the bandwidth to sort through that whole backlog.

libgdiplus does, as it's a Mono (class library) dependency. So do any submodules. But I don't think we can handle separate projects like MonoDevelop, unless they're important for some reason.

I can't spend any time on it, I'm stretched thin as it is. Winehq could probably provide a space for it, but I can't help with development.

What are your expectations for the software? I assume it's not enough to use a group chat and tell people where you are, but from the description you've given that would be my suggestion.
