Firefox on iOS still doesn't support extensions or adblocking - something Safari (and other browsers as well) do.

Firefox on iOS isn't really a Firefox because Apple doesn't allow alternative browsers. It's a Safari skin.

Orion on iOS is also a Safari skin and supports extensions

Mollie itself is hosted on GCP: https://cloud.google.com/customers/mollie

Also, TFA says:

> If you have used Stripe before, Mollie is the closest thing to that experience in the EU.

But Mollie does not even properly support recurring payments, a pretty important feature for SaaS. It does not track subscription state and does not retry failed payments.


This is actually important to understand. What are the dependencies of your dependencies? I.e. if your goal is to be sovereign than knowing how far the turtles go, and who the turtles are, is quite important.

Aside: Loved your bit talking about money and varnish in Gift Community[1]. And thanks for the Beerware License, I've started using it!

This is helpful, but it is yet to be seen how downstream picks it up. Wikidata[0] has renamed it and marked the Vinyl repo as the preferred one. Gentoo[1] renamed the package and switched to Vinyl. Homebrew[2] is now tracking Varnish Software (downstream of Vinyl). Fedora[3] has switched to Varnish Software as well. At endoflife.date[5], we renamed to vinyl and switched tracking as well. Wikipedia[6] has renamed Varnish (Software) -> Vinyl Cache.

The JSONView extension on Firefox was targeted a while ago. (2017?)

I only found out because Mozilla forced an uninstall with a warning and then I had to go down Bugzilla to find the impact (it leaked browser visit URLs).


I made a tracker for delayed-source releases (BUSL and FSL licenses): https://captnemo.in/finally-foss/

Might add JSON feeds, RSS for now. Main goal was to validate if anyone is using these releases 2 years later (forks?), and the answer seems to be no. The FSL premise for delayed releases is primarily around risk mitigation (if company goes bankrupt or bought out), and that is also yet to be tested. Most FSL/BUSL forks are at the moment of license change (OpenTofu for eg).

As another datapoint, Oxide is maintaining their fork of Cockroach, but has ignored all future releases (that became FOSS).


I have a use for this: A somewhat portable one-liner to go in my waybar/sway/i3 configs!

Libra/Diem got sold to the bank they were partnering with (Silvergate) for $200M, which then filed for Bankruptcy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number has lots of examples. The color of your bits matter.

The best bet would be to factor satoshi's keys, and then publish them on something like OEIS for some novel-math reason, and let someone else steal them for you.


You can run Lotus 1-2-3 for Unix in modern Linux : https://github.com/taviso/123elf

Lotus 1-2-3 was the first spreadsheet I ever used around age 9 so this is really bringing me back!

I am shy to admit I used visicalc on an HP-85.....1980 ?¿? maybe...I learned the periodic table with a basic program I made on that piece of art.

What a great name :) ("elf" = 11 in German)

what's the relevance of 11 in this context?
