Not directly related to this blog post but from NixOS discourse forum, a tl;dr from another person about the NixOS drama here :

If you’re looking for a TL;DR of the situation, here it is:

    Nix community had a governance crisis for years. While there has been progress on building explicit teams to govern the project, it continued to fundamentally rely on implicit authority and soft power

    Eelco Dolstra, as one of the biggest holders of this implicit authority and soft power, has continuously abused this authority to push his decisions, and to block decisions that he doesn’t like

    Crucially, he also used his implicit authority to block any progress on solving this governance crisis and establishing systems with explicit authority

    This has led uncountably many people to burn out over the issue, and culminated in writing an open letter to have Eelco resign from all formal positions in the project and take a 6 month break from any involvement in the community

    Eelco wrote a response that largely dismisses the issues brought up, and advertises his company’s community as a substitute for Nix community
 
 

Trying to access this https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.dataguidance.com/news/czechia-%C3%BAoo%C3%BA-fines-avast-czk-351m-gdpr-violations got a 403. Never had that before with the WayBackMachine. Then I tried to load it directly and got a "You are blocked!". Does the WBM not really make a full copy ? Not very Tor friendly !!!

 

for gratis or other reasons ?

  • Have you been a distro hopper ?
  • What is your favorite Linux distro ?

EDIT : Thanks for all the comments so far. Heartwarming really!

That's really great news, and hopefully an inspiration for other companies to follow suit. Tearing the Google email monopoly into smaller pieces bit by bit :)

Just for the record, the other post mentioned by the OP can be found here : https://old.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/197a9pd/mullvad_uses_gmail_for_its_support/

Agreed on using Firefox/LibreWolf and uBlock Origin, I love that combination. I think the thing is that Google Chrome is much faster than Firefox on Android phones (I don't mind, I hardly ever use mobile to browse), and long time habits can be hard to break for some people.
