Is it that surprising that Edge is surpassing Firefox given Firefox doesn't have the onboarding ramp of Microsoft and Google? Microsoft shoves Edge in your face every chance it gets, as does Google. What can Mozilla do to compete against that? Unfair to use market share as an argument.
"What can Mozilla do to compete against that?" well if only Modzilla foundation spend money given to them to actual firefox development instead of ehm ehm DEI policy (lol) and pay executive millions of dollars at this rate even brave,opera browser would surpass firefox
While I agree they shouldn't be putting their money towards political causes, the scrutiny of the budget is also political in nature. Of the $400 million in expenses, only around $15 million went to executives, and around $1 million went to the DEI stuff. The rest was split evenly between developing and marketing Firefox, which is basically what you were criticising them on not doing.
If they got rid of all the executives and DEI, they could increase the other budgets by 2%. There is 0 chance that the 2% extra budget could help the market share and development in any significant way.
And if you don't pay executives enough, you get worse executives who make worse decisions because the good ones will go to other companies. So you'll be complaining even more if the $15 million executive pay got dropped.
So in short: I agree Mozilla shouldn't get involved in politics. Despite this, no reasonable person could look at the numbers and conclude it's having a material effect on the destiny of Firefox.

ok my past response is mostly for laugh, this is my serious response
Firefox is literally default install in most if not all linux distro os, while I agree that situation is far from ideal but nothing is can be blamed other than themselves
for the longest of time firefox always playing catch up with chromium to achieve parity, maybe just maybe we don't need more browser
Microsoft literally give up their browser (IE), given how much resource MS has do you think firefox is doomed?? especially with DOJ force google to breakup chrome and cut off their spending on modzilla
I mostly critize about firefox place in the market, Opera found an niche with Opera GX for gaming, Brave with adblock and privacy focused etc while firefox is what??? inferior of chrome???

if people want more info on these devices, russ from retro game corps does a ton of reviews on them, from the cheapest (that are less than 30 euro) to the really expensive ones (600+!). i myself own a retroid pocket 5, one trimui brick (which my wife adores) and a steam deck (yes, it's an amazing retro gaming machine). (retro catalog also has a ton of technical information, including ratings) https://www.youtube.com/…
Thanks for the share... been using a Beelink SER8 for about 6 months or so with Chimera, which has been mostly okay... I have to reset audio out to hdmi each boot and a couple other niggles with the Bluetooth controllers. May need to switch to ones that use custom/proprietary USB dongles with lower latency.
Hi there! I'm running the exact same setup and have encountered the same issues.
I have a little bash script [1] which I run on startup to fix the HDMI audio issue. I haven't got crontab working yet so I ssh in and run it manually.
I've tried 3 different controllers and ended up buying the 8bitDo ultimate as it supports 2.4g as well as Bluetooth. Also purchased a separate Bluetooth dongle and a usb extension cable to keep it away from any interference from the Beelink. Still have major issues with connectivity over a reasonably short distance (3-4m) in either mode.
Love the SER8 though, it's a great little machine and is well priced when on offer.

I can't reply further to this thread without this devolving into a flame war so I'll just observe that you've moved the goal posts claiming you were just joking, and refuse to engage further until you acknowledge you're either getting defensive for no reason or arguing in bad faith.

The limitations nowadays for game development are more on the budget side than the hardware.
The fact that a single dev used to be able to complete an entire game really makes me wish I had come of age back in the day when that was possible. I feel like you can only approach something similar with pico-8 or another fantasy console these days.
Wasn't Hollow Knight put together with a really tiny team?

Yeah because you didn't have argument for it, good try tho
it would work with other people but not for me
edit: I'm not joking, I said laughing because firefox state is pathetic that deserved to be laughed at

Had been looking at a one of the same controllers, using two over 2.4g with their dongle(s). May reset the whole thing when I do... have had trouble with the second connected controller always being controller 1, that I can't seem to fix.
