I was going to say that AI has a lot of implications in the online world that Mozilla was supposed to promote… but maybe you’re right, the AI genie is out of the bottle and there is little left to do about it. Its impact will be whatever it will be, no matter what people want to say about it.
Not sure which “old Mozilla” you want, the 1998 one? the 2005 one? the 2015 one? It has changed a lot indeed, but kind of has been Google’s anti-anti-thrust shield for 20+ years.
From those projects, which ones are out of scope for the Mozilla Manifesto?
The African nuclear reactors might need more explaining, but the rest seem to be right on the goals:
Is there more information about that nuclear reactor?
Pollution related to computing and coding, seem relevant to the mission statement.
What would be the proper advocacy groups? Would you’ve ever heard of Mozilla without some advocacy group?
Keeping in mind it’s an advertorial for their apps…
Not sure what they mean by “weird characters”, but chatbots add zero-width Unicode characters as a watermarking mechanism, and LLMs output their own tags to mark different sections.
(the “stochastic parrots” expression is already a contradiction, but whatever)

Seems like it hasn’t been updated for 2 years. Is it abandoned?
Depends… I’ve been running 2.99 for a while now 😄
Oooooh, can’t wait to see the new features!
[what? there is no new features…?]
Can’t wait to see the new splash screen! 😇
You can run a stress test, and compare your desired response times with the resource usage on the server side.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ApacheBench
Take into account all the requests needed to load a website, and the fact that:
Loading some content in 100ms, then loading more in the background, is a reasonable compromise. You may want a very quick response time for the first few requests, then put the rest on a possibility slower server, or running at a lower priority.
And who said anything about being surprised? Got my offline copies of all of them already, but can get another one.
6 pages of apps… nice. 😅
Now, seriously. Android 14 on a Samsung phone, lets me select “location: only while using the app”. I close apps when not using them, and limit notifications so they don’t get auto-started at random. Unused app detection, puts them in “deep sleep” which doesn’t allow them to run at all, and strips them of all permissions.
This scanner, would be more useful if it also checked which apps have the location permission enabled, and are frequently used.
“Your phone is not gay enough… here are some themes and backgrounds to make it more fun!”
(probably not PC, but that could be a fun app)
TIL Wikipedia has an app. My extras to that list:
Is this on the same machine, or multiple machines?
The typical/easy design for an outgoing proxy, would be to set the proxy on one machine, configure the client on another machine to connect to the proxy, and drop any packets from the client that aren’t targeted at the proxy.
For a transparent proxy, all connections coming from a client could be rewritten via NAT to go to the proxy, then the proxy can decide which ones it can handle or is willing to.
If you try to fold this up into a single machine, I’d suggest using containers to keep things organized.
Check IzzyOnDroid’s photo section, there are many feature-centered tools, but I’m afraid no “one-fits-all” ones.
Simple gallery has been removed from F-Droid, but not sure whether the client does check or alert for those cases.

Kickstarter works for multiple phases or versions of a project.
The only real difference with GoFundMe, is that Kickstarter will return backer money if the campaign doesn’t get funded, while GoFundMe has an option to fail and still get paid.
Yeah, I don’t think I like llamafile, reusing some weights between models, and smaller updates, sounds like a better idea.
What I’d like to see is a unified WebNN support, for CPU, GPU, and NPU: WebNN Overview
