...a bunch of drones added to the mix just undermines your own property rights....
Of course, that depends upon the altitude of the drones.
.
If they're flying at 50 feet, there is a definite issue.
So the question becomes, how high do the drones have to fly before the issues they raise become moot?
... but that wasn't the original posters point....
Au contraire, that was the OP's point. The OP threw an unsubstantiated accusation at namecheap.com, "Did Namecheep notify it's users via email that their system was compromised"
.
The OP stated, incorrectly, that namecheap's system was compromised.
the featured article states that the vehicle was stopped while the phone was in use....
From TFA:
Olin, a prominent entertainment attorney, was riding his bicycle in the 22400 block of Mulholland Highway when he was struck by L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Wood’s patrol car in the bicycle lane on the afternoon of Dec. 8....
“Wood entered the bicycle lane as a result of inattention caused by typing into his (Mobile Digital Computer),”...
"Wood briefly took his eyes away from the road precisely when the narrow roadway curved slightly to the left without prior warning, causing him to inadvertently travel straight into the bike lane, immediately striking Olin,”"...
That hardly appears to be someone who was stopped. Perhaps you confuse the officer's personal cellphone usage with the usage of the police car's mobile computer?
.
And the precedent is that distracted driving laws are not valid and can be ignored.
or is the real precedent that police are above the law, and can do whatever they want with impunity?
...Why should FB care whether Ukraine or Russia is winning the media war?...
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Russia and Ukraine are engaged in a little bit more than a media war.
.
Last I checked, Russia was invading eastern Ukraine.
I suspect that may bode poorly for a FB office in Russia to properly handle Ukrainian Facebook business.
...Facebook's Ukrainian office is located in Russia...
Whose brilliant idea was that?
.
It now appears that Windows has taken on a life of its own, and is now roaming the countryside, harassing the villagers.
Where is Dr. Frankenstein when you really need him?
...It doesn't matter what they change, someone like you will treat it like it's the end of the world....
The marketshare numbers for Firefox disagree with you. Firefox is losing users.
.
So you have a decision to make.
You can continue to blame those who say Mozilla has chosen the wrong path.
Or you can try to change the direction Mozilla has chosen with the goal of regaining the users that Firefox has lost.
It's sad, but if Mozilla dies, will any free software group fill their void?
imo, Mozilla is no longer a free software group. They sold out long ago. And now they are exploiting their users, just like other for-profit corporations.
Install Classic Theme Restorer if you miss your overly complicated UI
The recent version of Firefox did not remove the complications, it removed the ability to customize.
.
If Mozilla wants to have a simple, dumbed-down interface for Firefox as the default, I am absolutely OK with that PROVIDED that Mozilla retains the ability in Firefox to customize the interface to the complexity level that I want.
That is the problem with Mozilla's current thinking. Mozilla has removed the ability to customize Firefox. The "Classic Theme Restorer" is a bug-fest. It's the equivalent of putting a pile of shit out in a fly farm.
if Mozilla strategically intends to have plug-ins or add-ons provide essential functionality of a browser, then Mozilla needs to implement a quality assurance certification program for those plug-ins and add-ons. The current "works for me" ratings systems fails miserably in this regard.
...What, exactly, do you hate about it?...
For starters, I do not 'hate" software. It's not an emotional thing for me. I look at software as something that helps me do what I need and/or want to do.
.
To that end, Firefox's Australis is a degradation of Firefox. It has significantly reduced my ability to customize the user interface of Firefox to suit my needs.
Mozilla's attempt to find a "one size fits all operating systems" approach to Firefox has resulted in a significant dumbing down of the user interface.
I do not want Firefox to look the same across all the OS's I use. I want Firefox to exploit each OS to the greatest extent while staying within the conventions of that OS. That's where Mozilla went astray....
.
Mozilla is in a war with its users, and the users are losing. Firefox's declining marketshare is evidence that the users are losing.
