Thundermail seems cool at least

Thunder* is developed by a separate corporation, they’re just both subsidiaries of the mozilla foundation. Also mzla is pretty much financially independent from the foundation due to individual donations.

I’ve got no issues with helping people in need, but even if it’s not an embezzlement scheme, this is extremely bad prioritization unless their priority is publicity.

MDN is a proven resource that’s helped a lot of people learn to code. How many African translators can you hire for a milion a year, let alone like 8? How many more people would learn to code that way?l

But nah, let’s feed money into “partners” that use some experimental teaching methods, while destroying a crucial learning resource because corona made us broke.

It’s like the foundation’s only goal is to drain the life out its every successful subsidiary.

In 2020 they fired the entire MDN writing team, slashed the budget, and basically left it in maintainance mode. The same year the foundation decided to drop millions on teaching Africans to code or some shit…

IMO for personal use “drag and drop into the correct directory” is an infinitely better organisational system than tag based libraries, especially for pirated books. I’m not going to sync my books across 10 different devices since I don’t need more than 1 reader, so it doesn’t make any sense for me to waste time using tags, let alone fix them for every book I download.

Clara colour is also awesome if you’re not reading exclusively bw. It does have slightly worse low light visibility because of the filter layers though.

Did they also force them to kill MDN, buy pocket, or funnel 99% of the foundation’s budget on everything that’s not Firefox?

The post I am replying to is specifying Canada, US and Australia.

You mean the countries with a long history of enforcing lingual homogeneity on the native and immigrant populations?

For example:

https://daily.jstor.org/when-american-schools-banned-german-classes/

EDIT: I have since learned that public schools in the US are not required to teach in English, so you can cross the US off that list! My bad!

Don’t apologise too soon, it’s the basis for their lingual homogeneity, and is a common theme since its inception. For example:

And check the history section of the

Did you know German was the second most spoken language in the USA until ww1? Victims of opression often opress others.

If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.

Got it, don’t drink cappuccino after 11, only espresso.
