8·9 months agoI’m sorry, but all this fear-mongering about
This is just another example of US big tech companies trying to control all decisions about security to favor their own commercial interests
when referring to a non-profit is not really convincing. Especially considering that the open letter calling the proposed changes harmful has been signed by experts and organisations from all over Europe.
I’m not sure what commercial benefits they think Mozilla will get from not being forced to allow untrustworthy certificates, but it’s clear that the certificate-minting orgs behind the ESD have a lot to gain if they would be.
(It’s unclear to me why you referred to ESD, an industry lobbying group, as a “trilogue” BWT? In an EU context, that usually refers to the European Parliament, Commission and Council.)
That year he had a brain hemorrhage whose fallout grew worse over time while his wife’s health was also in decline.
And we don’t even know when that picture was taken.
(Though I suppose this is more a snarky comment about Trump and Biden, in which case, carry on :) )
If only they had thought of that:
The (…) law provides for an assessment of each case to ensure that spouses act freely and do not put pressure on one another
Mayor Anne Hidalgo argued that SUVs are both dangerous and bad for the environment;
It’s also size and height of the hood.
Fun fact: Bas Eickhout is heading the campaign for a combined list of two Dutch parties, only one of which is part of the Greens (the other is part of PES, the social democrats).
He has a great track record and a lot of experience in the EP though.
I think so, yes, but there’s still a big stretch going from “prototyping in case they open it up” to “being a full-fledged stable product that works well for everyone”. But fingers crossed that it’ll work out!
Painful but true.
Oh sorry, I was referring specifically to porting Gecko to iOS, not to the part where it would support uBO.
It’s a lot of work and a relatively small market, in addition to have to ship it as a separate version that’s different from the version in the rest of the world, and subject to Apple’s onerous restrictions and review policy, and it’s clear that Apple is not looking to make this as frictionless as possible.
That is another sign of a well-functioning democracy, indeed.
You don’t need unanimous decision making, as long as people’s voices are represented. But I do indeed hope that a large majority of people will always refuse to compromise on denying human rights to specific groups of people.
Yeah I mean, all tribes that are present among the voting populace should be represented. (I was mainly just making a dig at the US’s two-party system :P )
And in proper democracies, all of these tribes are represented in parliament and make policy together.
ITT: people from different countries claiming that their country specifically loves complaining.
Yes, but that money is not going into shareholders’ pockets. It can be used by the Foundation to support its mission.
Google is the primary customer. It pays Mozilla, and in return, Mozilla sends people to Google Search.
It also doesn’t really matter, since you don’t need that argument: Google is already a browser vendor as well. And the same question holds: what commercial benefit do they stand to gain, and how? I also still haven’t seen an answer to that question about Mozilla.
Are you saying that Mozilla lied, and that those European experts and organisations did not actually sign that letter? Because it’s easy to just search for their name +
eidasand verify their actual stance. For example, I just did that for EDRi, whose stance is here:(That is not a Mozilla link, btw. Mozilla’s website is just an easy place to link to since it has rallied people around the cause and aggregated their voices to a single place, but it refers to a very diverse group of actors, many of whom have no financial benefit to gain. Whereas the lobbying group you’re linking to is just representing a group of CAs.)
