If I could, I would. Sadly being from North Africa makes it hard for me to donate to my favorite FOSS projects. There are many restrictions and even getting a credit card that’s usable internationally is a pain, and it only gives you an amount each year you can use online. Not to mention having a really low currency and bad economy would make even a trivial donation feel like a sizable portion of your income. My comment wasn’t a dig at Firefox but a lament. It shows how complex things are. The FOSS and privacy oriented option has to rely here on Google having enough money to give to it. Google having enough money relies on data mining. So the monetization of privacy-respecting option relies on other users letting go of their privacy to Google. While Firefox is a superior option, it is worth seeing how ultimately we are still fucked. Even the FOSS option survives through ad revenue of another company. This highlights the problem of FOSS monetization that needs to be solved. Firefox should learn from Thunderbird.
Yea but I wish Firefox didn’t survive completely on money from Google
Cool meme. The Arabic is wrong though. Arabic doesn’t use “do” in this sense. So the sentence has the meaning of doing as if “doing something”. Come to think of it, English is the only langauge I know that uses " they do" in this sense. Even French would use “Etre” which is “to be” when speaking about something like that, because it’s not technically something they are doing but something they are.
She was underweight before because she hardly ate anything. She’s way better now. But some people comment on her change of weight because they compare it to how she was before.
