I think the other way around is wrong and immoral. Forcing a child to suffer their whole life is pure evil in my book. If you have the opportunity to prevent this, it is your duty to do so.

That’s me with SNES emulators…

Well kinda. The Mozilla “Project” goes back to 1998. The Mozilla “Foundation” to 2003. As said, Phoenix was released in 2002 and then renamed to Firefox in 2004.

But in that 4 years they worked on the Netscape code to make Phoenix, they were as well funded by AOL, or not?

Is there even a “before”? The very first release of Firefox was in 2004. Google started paying Mozilla in 2004. The only time there was no funding from Google was 2014-2017. In that time Yahoo took over that part.

There was however the 2 year period from 2002 - 2004 when Firefox was still “Phoenix” which was mostly funded by AOL.

To my knowledge, there is not a single moment in the life of Firefox when it has had to get by completely without external funding. And 95% of that time, it was Google.

How does someone deserve to be paid for work done? Is that your question?

Is this some kind of pathetic troll attempt?

I will not reward that with further attention.

You are aware that there are full-time developers working at Mozilla, yes? Developing a browser is not a hobby-project that you can pull off with some volunteers in their free time. You need professionals that work on such a giant project with their full attention.

Developing Firefox is their job. And of course they want to get paid for that (and deserve it). Just like you get paid for your actual job.

Do you think developers don’t have to eat? or pay rent? And donations alone do not cut it.

“Synchronous 26” and “Synchronous 320” sounds super weird. Are you combining RAM with different clock frequencies / timings? that can and often will cause problems like instabilities and crashes. i would take out the one you added and try the games again.

Plungers are extremely common in germany. To be precise i can’t remember ever being in a bathroom without one.

That is some Amon Göth level evil shit

Yes. The former DDR part is commonly still called that. It still differs noticeably from the West in terms of culture and level of development. Unfortunately, the entire region has moved significantly to the right politically. So much even that an openly right-wing extremist party has a majority in multiple parts of it.

Recyling can have multiple meanings. e.g in germany most bottles are meant to be used multiple times. e.g plastic bottles are refilled up to 20 times. throwing stuff in the recycling bin is only for things that are meant to be melted down and recast.

I’m not sure if you really can say “burst” already if its only down 10% after it went up 100% since 2010.

In germany even a written story about it is illegal. it is considered “textual CSAM” then.

Wow, the speech his lawyers just gave is an incoherent rambling that has says absolutely nothing of substance, completely misses all points and stirs people up. He got himself a clone as lawyer.

It’s fucked up to take picture of random people and post them online without consent. In germany that would even get you jailtime.

its a verified seller with over half a million positive reviews and a registered company in germany. so i am quite sure its legit. but yes, the possibility always exists of course.

Refurbished is the word. I got a Ultrastar DC HC520 (12 TB) with zero hours from eBay for 130€. I guess it was originally intended as a replacement but was never used then and just collected dust. So basically brand new hardware. Sometimes you can even catch one that has still manufacturer warranty. One i saw had 5 years left on it.
