Dude, the time for work is going down drastically, about a third of before. Are you not facing it?
If you're experiencing this you're either a very junior dev or you're not as senior as your title might suggest...

I wholeheartedly believe that they could not have fixed it with 9,600 people months of work. They haven’t been able to fix it with many multiples of that.
You're assuming performance has been the core priority, or even a priority at all, and I think this is a bad assumption to make. I would estimate a much smaller number of people-months of work if I were you.
Dev users assume the only problem a product can solve is performance, when there is a lot more than that in reality.
ShinTakuya commented on Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark gamingonlinux.com/2025/11... · Posted by u/haunter
> 27% of that 3% is the Steam Deck / Lenovo Legion Go S. So most Linux players are in fact not on the Steam Deck.
If that is true then one of those other two claims has to be false:
1. Using the latest months recorded share (Oct-2025 - 3.05%): 4,026,000 estimated "monthly active users" for Linux+Steam.
2. Market research firm International Data Corporation estimated that between 3.7 and 4 million Steam Decks had been sold by the third anniversary of the device in February 2025.
27% of 4M gives us 1M Steam Deck + Legion users. Yet 4M were sold. That begs the question: How could it be? Do 75% of Steam Deck users run Windows? Have 75% of Steam Decks ended up in the landfill? Are the sale figures estimates wildly off-base?
Or, you know, most steam deck users aren't using them constantly and so they don't get picked up in the survey.

Whoa, I thought Ubuntu was the most popular distribution. Arch and even Linux Mint are beating it?
The average Linux gamer is likely to have a very different setup to the average Linux user in general. It's a subset of a subset.
ShinTakuya commented on Zoxide: A Better CD Command github.com/ajeetdsouza/zo... · Posted by u/gasull
Does anyone know if zoxide has any fancy logic to ignore strings that appear in common prefixes?
For example I have a big ~/src dir where I keep all my code checkouts. If I type 'z src' intending to go to ~/src/foo/bar/src, will it be clever enough to realise that I am referring to the second instance of the string 'src'?
I currently use a Fish port of the original 'z'. It does ignore the common prefix of _all_ matches (so if I only ever used it within my ~/src tree, the problem would disappear) but after that binary exclusion it works exclusively on frecency.
As far as I'm aware it keeps a history of the frequency you visit each directory so yes it will select the one you've visited more often (assuming you don't always start at the base one and work your way down).
ShinTakuya commented on What to do with C++ modules? nibblestew.blogspot.com/2... · Posted by u/ingve
Game engines (the thing that C# runs on top of) are written in C++. As is the C#/.NET runtime. As is anything that requires careful management of memory for performance. Application code is perfectly reasonably written in managed languages, but not so for the things that run underneath.
There's nothing inherent about C++ that makes it more suited than Rust for game engines though, Rust supports careful management of memory too. Of course, nothing besides inertia (i.e. Libs, existing code, etc.). And that of course is more than big enough of a reason to stick with it.

Huh, I thought there would be more. Like billions of galaxies.
There are. The count is gotten by extrapolating from randomly selected areas of sky. This is more like another detailed picture of a small patch of sky.
ok my past response is mostly for laugh, this is my serious response
Firefox is literally default install in most if not all linux distro os, while I agree that situation is far from ideal but nothing is can be blamed other than themselves
for the longest of time firefox always playing catch up with chromium to achieve parity, maybe just maybe we don't need more browser
Microsoft literally give up their browser (IE), given how much resource MS has do you think firefox is doomed?? especially with DOJ force google to breakup chrome and cut off their spending on modzilla
I mostly critize about firefox place in the market, Opera found an niche with Opera GX for gaming, Brave with adblock and privacy focused etc while firefox is what??? inferior of chrome???
I can't reply further to this thread without this devolving into a flame war so I'll just observe that you've moved the goal posts claiming you were just joking, and refuse to engage further until you acknowledge you're either getting defensive for no reason or arguing in bad faith.
"What can Mozilla do to compete against that?"
well if only Modzilla foundation spend money given to them to actual firefox development instead of ehm ehm DEI policy (lol) and pay executive millions of dollars
at this rate even brave,opera browser would surpass firefox
While I agree they shouldn't be putting their money towards political causes, the scrutiny of the budget is also political in nature. Of the $400 million in expenses, only around $15 million went to executives, and around $1 million went to the DEI stuff. The rest was split evenly between developing and marketing Firefox, which is basically what you were criticising them on not doing.
If they got rid of all the executives and DEI, they could increase the other budgets by 2%. There is 0 chance that the 2% extra budget could help the market share and development in any significant way.
And if you don't pay executives enough, you get worse executives who make worse decisions because the good ones will go to other companies. So you'll be complaining even more if the $15 million executive pay got dropped.
So in short: I agree Mozilla shouldn't get involved in politics. Despite this, no reasonable person could look at the numbers and conclude it's having a material effect on the destiny of Firefox.
burn a lot of fcking goodwill for measly 4% web user, turn out eating google money literally make you the next "google"
chromium edge literally surpass firefox and with new policy it would eat more to the marketshare
Is it that surprising that Edge is surpassing Firefox given Firefox doesn't have the onboarding ramp of Microsoft and Google? Microsoft shoves Edge in your face every chance it gets, as does Google. What can Mozilla do to compete against that? Unfair to use market share as an argument.
