Me too. I'm on the right side of the border and would happily order from this company if they sell something I need.

Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.

Trump winning was the worst thing that could have happened to the Conservatives. Dealing with Trump's bullshit is the one thing that most people seem to agree that Trudeau and the Liberals handled well.

PP wanted his "carbon tax election", but just about no one is very concerned about that right now.

Is a wonderful tool for raising capital for startups or large purchases. It's not a good source for reliable income once your project is no longer the new hotness.

The unavoidable problem is that things cost money. Everything Mozilla does costs money, from hosting their website to paying developers. If they are giving away the software free to users, where is the money going to come from? Previously (and I think currently) a lot of that money is coming from Google, but being beholden to that one company is not ideal. So Mozilla has to look for alternate income.

I can at least empathize with the shitty position they are in where they have to find a way to monetize enough to exist, without becoming just like Google.

If they are selling aggregate data like "x percentage of our users are on Windows 10, y percentage on Windows 11, z percentage on Linux" they are technically selling user data. Honestly, if that's all they are doing, I don't really mind it. It's the selling of individual user data that I take issue with.

Jared Keeso. Specifically, Jared Keeso as Shoresy.

It's social media, so first and foremost, people will go where everyone else is.

Secondly, and almost just as important is ease of use is king. At a population level, people are always going to follow the path of least resistance, until critical mass is reached and the first condition comes into play. Any project, no matter how beneficial, is going to be relegated to second place at best if it's not the easiest one to use.

It an unfortunate reality in car-centric towns, but this can be a valid concern for small businesses in downtown areas. Lack of parking can translate to customers simply not showing up.

Bitwarden+Firefox+Android. That combo doesn't support passkey creation.

I very specifically don't want my security tied to my device. Trying to migrate to new phones, and keeping things synced between a phone, desktop, and laptop is why I long ago moved to a password manager. Now, especially in the phone space, getting passkeys to function fully with a password manager ranges from "pain in the ass" to "not actually possible".

Passkeys are a great idea, but everyone involved seems like they want the process to be as much of a pain in the dick as possible. So until the industry pulls it's collective head out of its collective ass (not going to hold my breath on that one), it'll be passwords+2FA for me.
