Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 13/08/2026@ploum Aucune mention de la communauté Blacksky et des raisons pour lesquelles elle a choisi ATProto parce que le fediverse était un environnement hostile. Ignorance ou parti pris ? 000
Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 21/07/2026The Mozilla leadership keeps going strong with their twice a year mind blowing decision: this time they felt going back to the nazi bar was the best move.

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 27/06/2026With @mozilla VPN running on Mullvad infrastructure, can we know what they think about Mullvad's CEO being a fascist? Will they change providers? I'm a satisfied customer currently, but I will not continue if there is no change. 010

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 15/06/2026@number6 @jrconlin Do you seriously think that the switch from xul/xpcom extensions to web extensions is the reason of the market slip? (ignoring that the xpcom/xul model was a security nightmare). 200

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 05/05/2026@gabrielesvelto I bet it's actually cheap for Google. They have network caches (or used to at least for YT) very close to the ISPs, and this kind of payload is very cache friendly. 100

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 24/03/2026@gabrielesvelto Mostly agree about "software quality and optimization".

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 03/03/2026@jernej__s @whitequark please open issues for that kind of problems. It’s super useful 100
Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 02/03/2026@hongminhee Fair points overall, but it's not just administrative fragility that comes with grants funding: it's constant overhead for builders, burning out, things that never even start. 100
Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 02/03/2026@hongminhee None of these funding models are healthy actually. Applying for grants every year or so is very fragile, and VC money comes with shackles. But you have to recognize that there is a lot more built on the ATProto side currently than on AP/Mastodon. 130

Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 17/12/2025@dale man, bad communication is happening all the time at MoCo with the same excuse. And if MoCo execs think that a second class citizen product will be in a good position when all the commercial OSes are baking AI into their foundations, they are not very competent. 000
Fabrice Desré @fabrice.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 17/12/2025@dale tbh, that quote was just a little bit too easy to misunderstand and too tempting to dunk on for some people. Is no-one proof reading interviews at MoCo? 110
