There's `@starting-style` in #CSS https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@starting-style but no 'ending-style' 🫠
Wondering how it got spec-ed out in…

@starting-style - CSS | MDN
The @starting-style CSS at-rule is used to define starting values for properties set on an element that you want to transition from when the element receives its first style update, i.e., when an element is first displayed on a previously loaded page.

I started with the localization of #Mozilla VPN into Bulgarian. That's a challenge.

»`Uint8Array.prototype.toHex()`
The toHex() method of Uint8Array instances returns a hex-encoded string based on the data in this Uint8Array object.«
I've only just discovered this and I think it's a cool new feature in JavaScript. I am now surprised when almost all users have up-to-date web browsers in order to use it easily in the frontend WebDev.

Mozilla: We don’t understand why you’re all upset, you can turn off the new Shit In My Mouth feature if you don’t like it.

Every user: "We want #Firefox to be a real agent for the user, that doesn't give us AI slop and won't sell out our privacy."
#Mozilla: "On Firefox for iOS you can now get an "AI" to summarize a page by shaking your phone"

The ruling that allows Google to continue paying for traffic acquisition is a huge win for Apple and for Mozilla, which relies heavily on payments from Google (M.G. Siegler/Spyglass)

Chrome stays. Payments stay. Exclusive placement goes. Some Search data goes.

How's #Mozilla work on #AI progressing? I wonder how far are they from replacing their CEO with an LLM. I think it will bring great savings!

Jak tam robi postępy #Mozilla z #AI? Ciekawe jak daleko są od zastąpienia swojego prezesa — LLM-em. Z pewnością przyniesie to wielkie oszczędności!

Folks creating free and open software for the common good: here’s a checklist of everything else you should be doing so corporations can make the best use of your free labour.
I mean, sure, some good security tips here and worth reading anyway but do fuck off with holding free software developers to account for supply chain attacks. It’s your fucking supply chain, not ours, you fucking corporation.

It's astounding how Mozilla manages to consistently add shit to Firefox even at a time when people look for alternatives to Chrome. (Newest versions have started to force more AI crap into the UI.)

Google will not be forced to sell off Chrome or Android, judge rules in landmark antitrust ruling
A court will not force Google to sell off its Chrome browser or Android, a federal judge said in a court filing on Tuesday. The decision serves as a significant win for the tech company, which has avoided the most extreme possible outcome from a landmark antitrust case that determined the company was operating an illegal online search monopoly.

Automated Bug Triaging using Instruction-Tuned Large Language Models
Bug triaging, the task of assigning new issues to developers, is often slow and inconsistent in large projects. We present a lightweight framework that instruction-tuned large language model (LLM) with LoRA adapters and uses candidate-constrained decoding to ensure valid assignments. Tested on EclipseJDT and Mozilla datasets, the model achieves strong shortlist quality (Hit at 10 up to 0.753) despite modest exact Top-1 accuracy. On recent snapshots, accuracy rises sharply, showing the framework…

#Mozilla VPN is now 100% translated into #Bulgarian. I hope more people would now use the only VPN created by a not-for-profit org.

Google will be allowed to keep Chrome but can no longer pay for exclusive search contracts. In busting Google's search monopoly, the court has cemented their web browser monopoly. I don't see how Mozilla survives this.

is there really no low-level mechanism to intercept boolean primitive coercion in JavaScript?
why can’t I extend `Boolean` to make `new MyBoolean(false)` be `falsy`? (I understand why it isn’t, but I want to make it so)
> Note: Unlike other type conversions like string coercion or number coercion, boolean coercion does not attempt to convert objects to primitives by calling user methods.

Careful if you're copying around Firefox profiles and rely on settings to be retained: The default value for the about:config key datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled differs by I-don't-know-what. If you disable the "Send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" checkbox in an instance where it's default off, no value is stored (because it's "default"), and it may be on in another.
