If you watched the video and read my comments, you could probably put that together.

I agree that the majority of the backlash is overblown, and mostly the result of unclear messaging. However, it's important that Mozilla is held to a standard. They have presented themselves as a privacy-respecting alternative, and when they do things that sow distrust, it undermines their mission.

They're one of the few nonprofit organizations that can reasonably compete with the other major players in the browser space, and I hope they can continue to exist while keeping their integrity intact. It seems that task is proving extremely difficult in the current industry.

Don't bother commenting if you're not even going to watch more than 10% of the video. You're right that he has some bias, but he is aware of Mozilla's flaws and presents some good points.

I would be way more concerned about Proton than Firefox atm.

They've never forgiven us for living this long.

It’s such a shame. I like it too. When I play it, I can see a great game hidden behind a couple poor focus decisions. I honestly think the majority of Star Field’s issues are solvable, even post-launch.

People will really blame a vague “liberal agenda” for anything , huh?

“My business model no longer makes sense in the current market? Nah, it must be wokeness.”

Is this studio never making another game then?

That sucks. I know what it’s like to feel like the only voice of reason when your company is shooting itself in the foot.

I see from other comments you’re already looking for a new job, which is a very good idea. From your description of this buyout, it seems very likely that you’re about 6 months to a year out from the layoff stage of the private equity playbook.

At the end of the day you’ll always have the experience you gained from building all that stuff. Perhaps you’ll get a chance to build it back even better somewhere else!

Stop generating, kitten.

 

For the curious, this is the Ducky Origin Vintage.

 

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?
