  • A big step forward for Mozilla on the “mail” side. Diversification of income. Advertising in the browser was not to everyone’s liking, but you have to make money somehow. On the private mail service with the transfer of large files in the form of cryptocontainer… They’ll make a normal one the clients for Android and iOS… Link to Mozilla Account… This is the right way, one of them. And see integration with various approaches to trusted AI (trusted exactly, without transferring user data to the cloud). That’s the right way, too. A very appropriate response to tectonic changes in the external environment.





  • independent browsers that exist due to agreements with search engines.

    How independent are you if you take money from Google? Don’t take money from Google and then maybe you’ll become independent. But now you’re looking at a kind of second-fresh independence. Maybe if it becomes the first, you will start attracting users instead of only repelling them and slamming doors. Because you got hooked on the needle of Google money and eventually lost all your users.

    They fired a bunch of programmers. I sincerely wish them to go bankrupt and go to McDuck as waiters for 1.5 dollars an hour.

  • Ubuntu – few applications, unstable: over time, some problems with the volume were, cured only reboot; there is no normal application Telegram (web client that the battery eats).

    CalyxOS is subjectively more convenient, F-Droid and RuStore download by machine, F-Droid installs an update machine, RuStore downloads and asks for /e/OS RuStore to download forcibly. Also on both MicroG systems, but on /e/OS, SBPay bent and didn’t work, on CalyxOS - no problem. Similar to applications, for example, for renting scooters: on /e/OS some problems, on CalyxOS - no problems. There are fewer problems with CalyxOS.

    With Sber, Rosselkhozbank and Unicredit, there are no problems there or there. Russian mail application does not work on any platform.

    The only plus/e/OS is what is in GooglePlay, but not in RuStore, it is easier to put: AuroraStore on CalyxOS makes you go out and log in all the time to update the installed applications; on /e/OS, what is installed in your home store, including with Google PlayStore applications is updated without problems by automaton.
