I didn’t mind Proton’s as much, but holiday season as a whole got annoying with all the emails. Mozilla in particular, I almost unsubscribed from their emails

- Comment on Apps doing year wrapped gives you a hint on how are you being tracked. There is probably a legal issue there somewhere like data retention. 3 days ago:
It’s also a fun way to see how good their data is
For a few of the apps, the data was very limited and/or very wrong. That made me happy

- Comment on Nanopasta: electrospinning nanofibers of white flour 5 weeks ago:
In all seriousness, this was the conclusion:
In conclusion, the electrospinning of wheat flour is possible from formic acid solutions, after ageing at 32 °C and cooling, forming mats of nanofibers with diameters of 372 (±138) nm. The formed mats are hydrophilic, and ideally positioned as a cheaper, greener replacement for starch in biodegradable, biosourced nanofiber applications, such as next generation bandaging, or carbonized supercapacitor electrodes. Additionally, as the newly developed material consists of fibers formed from the extrusion and drying of flour, it may be defined as pasta, dramatically undercutting the previous record for the thinnest pasta lunga by approximately a thousand times.

- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 1 month ago:
As an unrelated point, when I searched again just now, most of the entries in the search engine were from Lemmy/Mbin, followed by Mastodon. Mostly this post and others like it
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 1 month ago:
So you got this survey in an email. Was the link intended to be shared like this? Can I find the survey link somewhere on Mozilla’s own websites?
The email was through their newsletter, and I would offer to forward it over if it didn’t have personal information in it. Maybe someone else who is subscribed to the newsletter can back up the claim instead?
I actually searched for the website link to put in the post body before sharing, but didn’t find it and went through a similar thought process as above. My reasons for sharing it anyway were:
- Sometimes these emails say to not share it further, but this one didn’t
- I see it shared already in a few places unofficially (Mastodon, Reddit, Twitter)
- It mentioned ‘Mozilla Community’ and not a more specific group, so I thought it would be appropriate here
- People here might have better feedback than I could write up, so it should be a net positive for Mozilla
It would be nice if they did post about it on an official account to resolve any concerns. If it helps, it looks like “mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net” has been used for other surveys in the past and so you might find a link to that domain from an official source

I see a textbox saying “What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?”
You could add it there?

Specific to generative AI, I think client side generation can be a good thing, such as sentiment analysis or better word suggestions/autocomplete.
A number of other helpful tasks have negative outcomes, but if someone is going to use it, then I prefer they use the version of the tech that minimizes those negative outcomes. Whether Mozilla should be focussing on building that is a different matter though

Does anyone has more info on that? It was a staple on my phones since almost a decade…
I’ve had a few apps disappear, and I assume either the app is very outdated / incompatible, or the developer pulled it. If you remember the developer, you could follow up and see what they say?
