I suppose I'm not the only one watching Shaun?

Aber nur, wenn sie ihre Leistung nicht in Form von Erwerbsarbeit erbringen ;)

Na das stimmt nun ja auch nicht. Wie der Artikel sagt, die wichtigen Sachen wie Wasserstoff, efuels etc werden weiter gefördert.

There are talks in the EU with the DMA about bringing this back.

But they speak from a high a position of superiority and rightness.

Yeah, I guess your point stands. But also, it's 221 mio for Mozilla as a whole. Firefox might again be a fraction of this. While e.g. the Linux foundation has a lower budget, with all the contributed work hours of volunteers / corporations, a fork of Firefox is more realistic than the 500 mio make it out to be.

It's basically like a copy of the original repository. But you can pull in and merge changes from the original, make a pull request for the original to pull your changes. Fork+pull request enables you to contribute to someone else's repository. Things like Chromium are in part forks of Safari, just that they diverged over time.

Cost of development was 221 mio in 2022

Mozilla has a budget of around 200 mil for software development, so the 7 mil are probably not enough. Not defending the high pay though.

Also, AI Integration into browsers could very well be a deciding factor for mainstream users when choosing a browser. So having some expertise around e.g. running LLMs privacy preserving on client hardware for page summarisation could pay off. Llamafile for example, is something cool coming from the Mozilla AI stuff.

Bei mir (RWTH, Informatik) war's normalerweise so, dass man mit ~20 Studenten und zwei Betreuern in einem Zoom Raum war, Kamera einen selbst+Bildschirm+Schreibtisch zeigen musste. Ton musste an sein. Mit einem beliebigen Browser geht man dann auf Dynexite, welches angeblich registriert, falls man den Tab wechselt.

Tbh, if you get such a notice, you could also disagree with them and get a lawyer. It's just that your situation is much more clearly in breach of copyright.
