@lars Indeed, it's more efficient than GPUs or even slower switches (e.g. 100G) when you account for throughput, but not far from my initial statement. Looks like they consume around 2–3 kW on full load (houses in Italy are capped at 3). I guess nobody cares about noise up to 85 db in a data […]

@plwt Sadly it doesn't, because most URLs don't have the language parameter (tl).

@gabrielesvelto Looks like it's fixed in the current beta, but for now I'll stick with English https://fritz.com/en/pages/fritz-lab-fresh-from-development

@hsivonen Personally I have moved some investment from "World" or "All World" to a "Developed Europe" index, specifically IE00BK5BQX27 (and others to ETFs with a mix of bonds).

Page 3 has the 3 top holdings […]

One very final thought: stop attacking individuals. Be civil. The only real outcome of personal attacks is that fewer people will want to work in the open, or contribute to FOSS at all, and that’s already a serious problem. Disagree, criticize decisions, argue if you want, but don’t turn it into […]

Anthony has effectively been in charge of Firefox for the past 12 months. A lot of features shipped in that time, and more are landing in Nightly (like Split View and tab notes), with very little being AI-related.

Some of this work predates him, sure, but that doesn’t mean he had no say in what […]

Finally, the Verge interview: https://archive.is/20251216200100/https://www.theverge.com/tech/845216/mozilla-ceo-anthony-enzor-demeo

I know people are angry about the ad-blocker mention. I’m not. I hope this signals a change in how Mozilla communicates externally: not just what we do, but what […]

So you’re leaving Firefox. If you move to a Chromium skin, I think you’re helping a monopoly. That's not where I want to be.

If you move to a Firefox fork, please look closely: how many people work on it? What do they actually maintain? Do they have a security team? And how fast do they ship […]

Mozilla has spent over 10 years trying to diversify revenue away from Google, with very limited success. Do you really think this is a simple problem with an obvious “novel” solution?

It’s also hard to grasp the complexity of Firefox (codebase, scale, security) without being involved. If you’re […]

I’ve said this before: you’re trusting your browser with your entire life. I put serious thought into which one I use. I’m not changing based on interpretations of a statement, I’ll change based on actions.

Yes, I work at Mozilla, and that's a bias. But I’ve spent 22 years on this project (10+ […]

To me, the post felt fairly balanced. But most coverage zoomed in on one sentence, and used it for headlines:
“Firefox […] will evolve into a modern AI browser”.

I don’t know what an “AI browser” means, it’s as loaded a term as AI itself. But many people (on Mastodon especially) decided this […]

Mozilla Corporation — not the Foundation — has a new CEO. There’s a blog post, in case you missed it: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/leadership/mozillas-next-chapter-anthony-enzor-demeo-new-ceo/

And that kicked off a lot of drama. 2/x
