Of course Mozilla employees deserve to be paid. Are you really saying the only way to ensure this happens is for them to sell the software or sell ads? (I write GPL-licensed software for a living and manage somehow to get paid. I also write some for free because I find it fun.) Further, Mozilla positions itself as a member of the free software community and as acting in the interests of its users.

My problem with this is that ideally, software I deign to run on my computer acts with only my interests in mind. The overarching goal of these changes is not to preserve my privacy, but rather to help advertising companies to learn something about how I interact with their ads. I don't care that Mozilla's particular implementation is not as bad for my privacy as it could be, I only care that their motivation has switched from acting in my interests to acting in the interests of advertising agencies.

Does anybody know whether this also applies to firefox android?

Sorry, I wasn't intending to provoke.

Aside: figure 1 epitomizes everything that I hate about high-impact results-first journals: everything has to be packed into this one figure because nobody's expected to read anything else. No disrespect to the authors, these journals force you to express your work in this reader-hostile fashion where the most important parts of the paper wind up buried in the supplement.

Every time this happens I'm reminded of Kinagrams replacing Logotype among extras in Anathem (Neal Stephenson).

I'm a "normal person" who's never created a mastodon account, and just tried this. The original article (a "toot") has a "sign up now" button in the side pane, which I clicked, entered a username and email address and pressed submit. I immediately received an email with a confirmation link, which I clicked. Now I can toot.

Web app and IMAP/POP mail access affected. I've been with them for years and this is the first outage I've experienced. Feeling for the people tripping over themselves on a Friday afternoon to fix this!

I just did this for FF, worked like a charm! (I'm a programmer, but I've never put together a browser extension. This took 5min total.)
