🚨 Cảnh báo: Lỗi hệ thống trên Intel Raptor Lake có thể gia tăng do nhiệt độ tăng cao, đặc biệt trong đợt nắng nóng kỷ lục ở Châu Âu. Mozilla đang theo dõi số lượng lớn báo cáo lỗi và đã phải tạm ngưng một số chức năng. 🌡️🔥

(Probably-not-actually-)unpopular opinion:
The team that manages #Thunderbird should take over all of Mozilla, and the entire C-suite at #Mozilla should stuff themselves into a dragon capsule and move to the moon, or something.
#Firefox is in absolute shambles
The #browser sucks, it's not as good as #Chromium and #Mozilla is actively sabotaging itself
"Oh we need to use Firefox otherwise open and free #web will die!"
I get it, however Mozilla has completely given up on nearly everything, no probably everything
If a company does not care anymore about a product, the user shouldn't care either
It's no longer a product for the user
It seems then I'll need to move away from #mozilla #firefox - how do I choose between #waterfox , #librewolf or perhaps #vivaldi ?

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️
If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.
I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.
Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

Feel free to adapt the UI in that respect. It's not the backend you need to modify, so it should not be that hard.
Yesterday I logged in to check it out and everything was just, gone! Can’t remember a thing that was in there, so I guess no huge loss for me, but of course they announce they’re shutting down the day after I start using it again.
