I don’t think diversification gonna help with the mindset Mozilla Foundation have.
For my take on Mozilla, please read the reply I’ve just posted:

Thanks.
I have written this elsewhere many times and I know it’s extremely unpopular with FOSS crowd but truth needs to be told in here once again:
Everyday I use Debian, Ubuntu and Windows 10/11/Servers.
I’m an “IT guy” and have installed Firefox on literally hundreds of computers over a decade. I also install and setup extensions like uBlock Origin (with few comprehensive ad & malware blocking lists) , Dark Reader, Auto Delete Cookies, Crypto blocking and many more… but I have given up on Firefox 2016 onwards.
You could give Mozilla 10 billion per year just to develop Firefox but Mozilla can and will decide that they wanna spend only 1 or 10 percent of that money on actual Firefox development.
They will spend most of their money on anything but Firefox.
I mean I love world-peace, and cancer and aids free world too but with the money Mozilla get in a year, none of that gonna happen.
Mozilla couldn’t stop Russia attack on Ukraine; neither were able to solve Israel Palestinian conflict nor hunger and migration from African countries to Europe…
Then what are they spending money on?
What they could have done successfully is to spend all the money they made from Firefox towards Firefox development alone. But this is the thing Mozilla do not want to do and are open about it.
Now I don’t want Mozilla to stop developing Firefox either but because Firefox needs money from Google, Google must be allowed their monopoly on search… is utterly insane thinking.
If Mozilla cannot survive without Google monopoly, so be it.
I would say some open source/ Linux foundations/ Linux distros needs to fork Firefox and let Mozilla die peacefully.
Though if I recall correctly, filibuster rule can be removed with 51% majority but obviously Democrats are too nice to remove that.
Like it or not, the United States are of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations.
Now I totally disagree with Republicans on almost everything especially since 2014 but one thing I like about them is, how to pass the actual laws, and how to put justices in supreme court.
No matter how wrong are they, or who paid (directly or indirectly) to pass the laws… when they have majority, they just steamrolls.
Democrats on the other hand are just talks.
Edit: Though, on a larger scale, I think Democracy is a failed experiment. But that’s entirely a different debate.
Look at just one example:
In Europe, Apple was told accept outside payments. Apple made mockery of the wish of the people they are making money from… and made it more expensive to use outside payment system.
Now take a guess, if it was China asked Apple to implement something serious… do you think Apple would be able to make mockery of Chinese government and still survive in China?
Well, Transcendence from 2014 got this right.
There Are Thousands of Alien Empires in The Milky Way
Any contact info?
What the actual fuck… and that too from apnews?
Now only if those “researchers” looked even further back, they would have found that ultimate building blocks of any coffee, like electrons and up & down quarks came into existence around 13.8 billion year ago (or may be ~28 billion year ago as claimed by some new research), and our universe may be a part of infinite multiverse that may have existed forever.
So wouldn’t it be even bigger headline that coffee has existed forever :)
As others have mentioned, it’s simple things takes alot time finding/figuring out.
I use GIMP within Ubuntu MATE few times a week to edit pictures. Simple edits nothing major.
One of the thing I need regularly is to highlight certain part of the picture.
Now in Microsoft Paint I can draw a rectangle, choose its border thickness, and color in 2 seconds.
I have learned how to do the same in GIMP few times but it took alot of time and I still forgets after few weeks.
So now I just reboot the PC and log into Windows or use Windows virtual machine and draw rectangle in 2 seconds in Microsoft Paint.
Mine is extremely simple use case, so I can only guess how difficult or how time consuming it would be for actual professional to create artistic work in GIMP vs Photoshop (or in similar commercial software).
Just my 2 cents.
The first thing that came to mind upon reading the title is the movie Repo Men from 2010.
Plot from the Wikipedia:
In 2025, advancements in medical technology have perfected bio-mechanical organs.
A corporation known as The Union sells these expensive “artiforgs” on credit, and when customers are unable or unwilling to pay for their artiforgs The Union sends “repo men” to locate and forcibly repossess the organ - invariably resulting in the death of the owner.

I would like an option within settings to get comments sorted by ‘Top’ (or new/hot) when I open any post. Thanks.
According to this physics.stackexchange.com answer:
"I suppose the surprising thing is why the atmosphere doesn’t all fall immediately to the Earth’s surface to form a thin dense layer of air molecules.
The reason this doesn’t happen is that air molecules are all whizzing around at surprisingly high speeds - typically hundreds of metres per second depending on the temperature.
The air molecules bash into each other and knock each other around, and the air molecules near the ground bash into the air molecules above them and stop them falling down."
Detailed explanation from another answer:
"The key ingredient is temperature.
If it were zero then all the air would indeed just fall down to the ground (actually, this is a simplification I’ll address later).
As you increase the temperature the atoms of the ground will start to wiggle more and they’ll start to kick the air molecules giving them non-zero average height.
So the atmosphere would move a little off the ground. The bigger the temperature is the higher the atmosphere will reach.
Note: there are number of assumptions above that simplify the picture. They are not that important but I want to provide a complete picture:
1, Even at the zero temperature the molecules would wiggle a little because of quantum mechanics
2, The atmosphere would freeze at some point (like 50K) so under that temperature it would just lie on the ground
3, I assumed that the ground and the atmosphere have the same temperature because they are in the thermal equilibrium; in reality their temperatures can differ a little because of additional slow heat-transfer processes."
I used -y
:
dpkg --list | grep 'linux-image\|linux-headers\|linux-modules' | grep '6.5.0-060500rc3' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I{} sudo apt purge -y {}
and there were a lot of errors but it did purge those kernels. Please let me know if there’s better way. Thanks.
I would highly recommend Ubuntu MATE. I just love its simplicity.
Though you may not need, AskUbuntu and UbuntuForums are great places to find help.
I’ve been running Ubuntu MATE alongside Windows 10/11 for many years.
Well I’m loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.
I wasn’t commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.
Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @ruud@lemmy.world
mastodon.social Though I too am new there, I like it. It feel refreshing from Twitter’s trash.
Regarding client: I mostly use web on desktop and mobile; though they have official Android app too.
Edit: They are federated with Pixelfed and Kbin too.
@AlmightySnoo @Vamp thank you for your willingness to mod. Also, both of you should contact @ruud, I believe he’s the admin here.
Well, there is no native .deb package and “There is no plan for official .deb pkg”.
