Oh gosh. Forgot all about that shit. No thanks.
Do AMD not realise that Linux/Privacy nerds stuck with them regardless for years. Would they have survived without that loyalty?

Selling jpegs as addons is good for gamers?
All they're doing with DLC is milking existing code.
But they are forks and they rely on Firefox development. Using them is fine, but with Mozilla funding and keeping up with browser development, they'd be poor
Its a bit like Brave taking Chromium, changing a few lines and saying "we built a browser".
I'm assuming because they don't have those AI engineers. I don't agree with this or AI, but diversification isn't something that can be ignored.
They need to focus on browser and bet on things that could succeed in the future. Winding down those bets that failed (like 3d visual worlds) is sensible.
Of the 60 they are laying off, how many of those work on Firefox?
This isn't a new thing. He was late declaring donors for the leadership. Media ignored it because they hate the left of the Labour Party.
This guy is far from squeeky clean. Fortunately for him, what he follows is far worse.
They can also use Yahoo or Bing as default for money.
The other option is diversify your revenue. Which is likely where the ad stuff comes in. If they can do that in a privacy respecting way with a facility to opt out, I have no objections. The loss of the biggest open source chromium alternative is massive and unthinkable.
For all the flaws of Mozilla, no one has forked, done better and put it out of business. It's easier to run it behind a keyboard with zero responsibility.
I've felt this for a while.
When dirty tricks are at play, it's best to resist.
Don't get me wrong, they've made some bad decisions, but the world is a darker place without them.
Maybe, but Intel operates there so the labour pool is probably quite skilled already. Perhaps good supply chains too.
Most of the smaller banks in the UK are gone. We don't have a lot of "town banks".
The risks to the US may be very different from here. Either that or you could be guilty of catastrophising.
Hyperinflation doesn't happen that quick.
Not all banks go pop at once. Usually when banks go bust in UK, the gov steps in, recovers them and sells after. Many banks are perceived as too big to fail.
Is this one of those bribes to get positive reviews?

For many years AMD was uncompetitive compared to Intel / Nvidia. Intel had 80% of the market at one point. It probably would have died off if it wasn't for folk that wanted Linux compatibility. Many run FOSS because of privacy. Linux is a key part of that.
