Rust foundation has not been very community friendly. That's cos corporates run it. There was a fork of the language called crab or something cos of this at one point. Take Linus o…

> Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers is just an interim CEO. I am not sure how Mozill Foundation/Corporation is exactly linked in the decision making. But the key people are still Mark Sur…

Did I say anything is run poorly? Or good for that matter? The difference is intent. Run for community and run for corporate are both different. Currenlty Linus is the only thing s…

Linux is a trademark of Linus. Which is why Linux Foundation which is run by corporates like Microsoft, Google etc is staying aside. After Linus, it would like corporate board meme…

Let us donate directly to Firefox development. That is the solution. You don't have to look anywhere else. Thunderbird is a good example of what can be done when the donations reac…

It's interesting to note that Linux Foundation is not even mentioned anywhere in the discussions. It is all Linus Torvalds for people apparently. Linux Foundation and their corpora…

> That being said, it always irks me when people worship "philantropic" billionaires. I hate that people are using philanthropic to describe Tatas. The western description about it…

The default expectation here means "doing the right thing while no one is looking" . Ambanis is far far away from it. I am sorry. Ambanis are not everyone's favourite. Definitely n…

Probably. I don't think it's possible to please everybody. Also, under Rata Tata, Tata went truly global. I can only presume that it means increased responsibilities & increased is…

I don't think people outside India understand what Tata means. Who Ratan Tata was. He was not some random rich person who did some philanthropy. ~66% of everything that Tata compan…

Yeah. But I guess that might change. They maybe trying to implement end-to-end encryption with the new talent pool.

Not OP. But why should I? It's a hassle to do migration. So if there is a non-vc funded choice, why would I bother with all the trouble?

OK. Now where do I learn all these functional aspect of UI/UX? I was thinking of following Human Interface Guidelines. But reading from people here, it just means the UI will look …

All services have permissible use clause in their terms & conditions. And if this is about cryptocurrencies and blockchain. It's absolutely a valid choice for a small service provi…

> but who is paying that for a blog or hobby site (or even some small businesses)? I was trying to. I highly recommend you to bring back the paid plans. Just leave it as it was. Op…

When I first added analytics to my website, I couldn't afford to pay for his then plan (There was a plan for opt-in pay for personal use and paid plan for commercial use. Or someth…

We are currently in this mess off app store monopolies issue because of Google and Apple. PWA is trying to be the solution to this. Why would you upload it and repeat the same mist…

I avoid using google wherever possible. Forget all the hate they get. Their customer service sucks making it harder to recommend any of their product. Then there is the fact that t…

I am not sure I can agree. What is stopping them from using only permissive license and adding attribution for all the licenses in a single long page? Nothing. This is not a techni…

This is the wrong way to look at it. This comes in the same line of saying "we need a new license for AI" argument. There is nothing stopping an LLM/AI from abiding the license. Th…

> Are you claiming this because they used copyrighted material as training data? If so, I think you're starting from the wrong point. All open source license comes under copyright …

The ChatGPT model has violated pretty much all open source licenses (including MIT license which needs attribution. Show me one single OSS project's license attribution before argu…

I don't think google invokes confidence when it comes to customer support. Especially when it comes to occupying a small space on the internet. Not to mention, I would be linking a…

GoDaddy has never been a good domain registrar. They have horrible practices. Sell our data. And buy the domain you did a lookup for in their website and try to sell it to you for …
