Gonna take a bit. The dudes been doing the releases for over a year, everything they touched is suspect now even if nothing earlier is known. Also some other associated accounts have been doing shady stuff too.
And that’s just one project that had a burnt out maintainer who welcomed some help from this guy. There are probably others. The hobby project becoming a core piece is a big issue.
Every time a mastodon user uses @ instead of # and tags a Lemmy community, an angel loses its wings.
Took it out ten years ago. It was super smart, and there are still situations where it would be helpful, like when a new Taylor Swift album drops that takes the service offline.
Yes, they worked differently than the way Edge or Chrome do now and were in many ways superior for tab management, much more like Vivaldi’s sessions but more intuitive. I was a heavy user and so am biased. They said “just use an extension!” but it would crash and lose your session (and imo the extension works even worse today). It was really ahead of its time.
Few people used it because they didn’t advertise it or make it easily discoverable. You had to know the shortcut already through osmosis or drag the button out of the customize menu.
It was useful 8 years ago when they removed it, that’s for sure.

Oh he's very active: conservativenerds.locals.com
He was one of the founding members of Jupiter Broadcasting. Was heavily involved in openSUSE for a long time (maybe even on the board?) and did a lot of Linux journalism. If you've ever seen the annual tongue in cheek "Linux sucks" video, that is him.
It's a huge shame. He's very charismatic and likeable otherwise, I just wish he also wasn't carrying around awful opinions about so many other people.
fwupd can install from exe using the Dell script in https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/tree/main/contrib/firmware_packager
However that model is supported natively too: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.dell.uefi3b49e316.firmware
IE: install gnome-firmware from flatpak or native package manager and it can do the whole thing, no need to download some exe.
Mozilla has a separate article about how data is collected.
There is a very good chance it is collecting and sending data even if you aren’t subscribing to the services. The modem is there, GPS is there, sensors are there, and someone will pay for information about you. It’s a no brainer for them.
(Mozilla’s full Privacy Not Included breaks stuff down by manufacturer)
I have sometimes seen a phenomenon where people are very supportive of things until they are affected directly, and then they are supportive of those things in other people’s lives.
Publicly pressured by sock puppets. You can see some rando doing similar in repositories for projects like Avahi.
