Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Got rid of Chrome for Chromium I guess Firefox will have to be replaced with an alternative as well since they decided to follow in Google's footsteps.

The catoon also works for MoonWolf.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org The artwork and the alt text describing it are both poignant and touching.

I'm about to migrate from Firefox (which I've been using since it was Netscape 3.04) to Librewolf as well. It's nice to feel welcomed.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Oh, I am considering moving to LibreWolf currently too

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org That's very nice!

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org same same.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
Merci pour la découverte.
Mais le souci sera le même que Chrome au final, dépendre de l'évolution de FF pour le code principal.

[–] davidrevoy@framapiaf.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@marnic@framapiaf.org Totalement! C'est même pour ça que dans ma métaphore, je voulais vraiment montrer que le petit renard reste un renard , tant bien même recouvert de cendre. Ca ressemble donc plutôt a une "community curated edition" de Firefox, mais je crois que c'est ce que je cherche là. Je commence à me méfier de Mozilla. Ils dérapent trop souvent ces derniers temps, et ça c'est que la partie publique...

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
Faut créer une nouvelle fondation type de LibreOffice 😅

[–] davidrevoy@framapiaf.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@marnic@framapiaf.org Oui 😁 Mais faudrait commencer cette fondation avec un sacré budget pour avoir déjà une grosse poignée de dev à plein temps dessus.

Je verrai bien la Wikipedia fondation dessus. Il me semble que leur trésorerie et leur moyen technique et leur familiarité avec le publique ferait que si ils entraient dans ce game, ça ferait un acteur de poids très rapidement.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
tiens ben justement, il s'était passé quoi pour openoffice à l'époque ? j'avais suivi que de loin mais il a bien fallu passer la main à libreoffice à ce moment là aussi ?
@marnic@framapiaf.org

[–] davidrevoy@framapiaf.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@couscous@mamot.fr @marnic@framapiaf.org Les premiers paragraphes "Histoire" de https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice te donneront une version bien plus détaillé que ce que j'avais en tête pour te répondre. 😆
C'était un sacré truc !

[–] couscous@mamot.fr 1 points 5 months ago

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
oh wow en effet 😅

Great art, so cute!

Didn't knew this existed, thx!

[–] bigTanuki@social.linux.pizza 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Thank you for being on the right side of history, like … always 😊

@bigTanuki :blobcatheart: Thank you, but don't worry, I'm making many errors too, and I'll keep doing them as I often experiment with many new things.
I just hope I'll get comments helping me if I go accidentally on questionable territories and I'll have the brightness of mind to study them and readjust.
