thank you

Yay. I'm glad to hear more and more folks are moving back to Firefox. It really is the best browser IMO. Like you said, it's fast, stable, has all my extensions and gets out of my …

OK I have to say this: reading some of the comments here makes me think I was actually friends with you back in 1998/1999 because that's about when I was doing this same shit in my…

wow. this takes me back...

I definitely use IRC to communicate with users of open-source projects like Spacewalk or Fedora. Anytime I can't get decent help using forums or Google searches, I go to IRC and wo…

grumpy cat face good

whoa - this is very sad indeed...

This is a really cool story. Science FTW! We have new evidence and people are starting to adjust their frame of mind and thinking in regards to the new evidence. Hopefully they can…

It's comical how people get so "jazzed" about something like not liking systemd and make a whole movement about it (with their t-shirts and everything). I get people may not love e…

Hella awesome news!

Good. Glad to see DDG keeps moving forward.

yeah... um. Why would Signal (OpenWhisper) sully their name by coordinating efforts with MS? MS doesn't have a great track record at being an advocate for privacy or user security.…

This is extremely disturbing. I'm a recent convert to ProtonMail and I am not going back to the free, ad-based email world. Google and Facebook are not companies I trust any longer…

From Peter Bright at Ars: "And security remains a pressing concern, prompting the use of new techniques to protect against exploitation. Some of the rebuilt portions are even using…

From what I understand about Rust, it does offer some native security improvements.

w00t! I started using Firefox 1.0 after being a Netscape user back in the day. I love Mozilla and all they stand for and I'm so excited that they are releasing Quantum and kicking …

I've been using Firefox 57 since beta and it's fantastic. Chrome users should definitely give this a shot. It's super fast, nimble, and easy on your RAM. I also love that it's made…
