Today I switched from Linux to Windows 10 (can't betray a philosophy too much by going to 11) after three years of Linux.

The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open-source project? Boy, what a disaster.
