The Xiph.org foundation themselves say that’s where the name came from.
The Vorbis audio codec was also named after Vorbis from Small Gods, the 13th Discworld book.
The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.
The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don’t even understand the :// part of the logo…
Or in America, “We’re going to sew you back up, but first, please enter credit card details and sign here regarding your payment plan”
What’s the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new “forever mice”)?
If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there’s no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.
In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that’s a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.
I’ve had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I’ve gotten better at keeping them under control. It’s very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I’m done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.
Knowing is half the battle
No, but it also gives you a wider selection of mice to choose from, since you could just ignore the wireless functionality. Some of them may cost a bit more, but not necessarily very much.
Because some people want both options.
Most wireless mice can be used wired too.
Really cool project, even though it has its flaws. Be prepared to search the documentation and update the configuration via the command line, as there’s no settings page in the web interface.
I had some trouble with it throwing a fatal error on URLs longer than the max filename length on my filesystem, but the author has been very responsive on GitHub. I replied to a 3-4 year old closed issue and the author opened it again and tried implementing a new fix in the dev version. I’m encountering another issue with using the dev version in my setup right now, but I think that’s being worked on.
What exactly does this mean for everyday Linux usage?
Probably because it looks like he only speaks in anime quotes and brings his plastic replica katana (“well ackchyually, it’s a tachi, as you can see because of the way…”) when going to the mall with his mom.
Once it’s on the internet, it’ll be there till the day you die.
Unless it’s something you want to stay. Then it vanishes into the ether, and nobody seems to have it archived anywhere.
Shamelessly stolen joke. Here’s the original tweet, which I think is much better too: https://twitter.com/0xAsync/status/1607541407937339392
Or for those who don’t want to visit Twitter:
Which is why I’m not donating right now, even as a satisfied user of Firefox for 15+ years.
I’ll happily donate 5 bucks now and again to Firefox development, but I don’t want my donation to go to a 5-6 million dollar CEO salary.
Ogg was apparently not named after Nanny Ogg, no matter how awesome that’d be.
