Today marks a significant moment in our journey, and I am thrilled to share some important news with you. After much thoughtful consideration, I have decid
I don’t really disagree, but what do you want as an organization, someone that built a “good” product that nobody ever used and fell into obscurity? Or someone that built a product that attracted and retained millions of users that you might consider “bad”? And tbh, most of the “bad” from these products is just because of their size and monopoly, which would arguably be a good problem to have for Mozilla.
Probably an easy choice if I was on the board.
Also, not that it matters to our discussion but just as a minor correction, the new CEO is a woman.
Assuning thats normally for hotels and such, not as easily, no. AirBnB’s specific purpose is to remove barriers of entry for hosting people in your property. Initially that meant renting one of your rooms to a traveler on the cheap. Now it means companies that would otherwise have to jump through tons of regulatory hoops to put their properties on booking sites.
Not to mention… even if its the same, then its the same and still not a useful service, yeah? It’s just another booking service. Which, coincidentally, mostly extracts fees.
So you can’t. There are cert stores, new protocols and ciphers, and eventually u patched zero days.
I know this because I’ve been playing with a g3 powerboat and all the browsers at this point are no longer maintained to support the above things as of last year. The last person working on it gave up
Not much of problem. Run in a VM, disable certificate validation. Html5 and javascript is still going to last a long long time. Anything that can’t run with that is soydev shit and you don’t need it.

Hard to say. You kind of want someone that was part of a successful product. And successful for-profit products are almost always menaces.
Yes, but hiring someone who’s good at making for-profit “services” successful generally means you want your product to be for-profit.
And as you say, successful for-profit companies are often menaces.

Airbnb actually provides a useful service, unlike PayPal which only extracts fees

Didn’t say that, I’m comparing companies that do nothing useful to companies that do something useful

Giving an avenue for rich development companies to snatch up properties they can short-term rent to rich travelers is a useful service?
Because those companies can’t go to booking.com if there’s no airbnb?

Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
For what crime?
Large scale real estate without a license. Penalty : death in wood chipper, feet first.

We can version freeze forever. Anything that won’t work in 2023 firefox is probably trash anyway.
