  • Looks like contributor is busy with work. Always the risk with open source. If things aren’t raised in a reasonable manner, I can imagine the temptation is to follow it up with a middle finger.

    Many seemed to care about it enough to bash it, but not enough to create and maintain a fork. They just want to boss it over the maintainer.













  • I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.




  • The measley non Google portion of revenue is 81m dollar. If you pay a top dev 200k, you could pay 100 top devs 20m and still have 60m to play with.

    This is even before considering a Bing/Yahoo/Ecosia deal.

    Mozilla will be fine, but they’ll likely need to be leaner. Lay offs will likely play a part in that. Just got to hope they size and structure it right.
