We're happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola. We're collaborating on future devices meeting our privacy and security standards with official GrapheneOS support.

#Mozilla has lost their ground and is now in a free fall into a sinkhole. I doubt they'll ever get out if this again unless they do a 180-turn within the coming days. Mozilla has lost a lot of trust and credibility over the last couple of years. This accelerates that distrust even more.

It looks promising, until you hit the last paragraph (my highlight)
In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar. We set all of this out in our privacy notice. Whenever we share data with our partners, we put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share is stripped of potentially identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).
In my book, that's indirectly selling data.
Goodbye, #Firefox.
Update (2026-02-26): So this change happened exactly 1 year ago. I saw the date and missed the year. And since Mozilla is still doing the privacy whitewashing, there is no reason to trust Mozilla more today than a year ago. Leaving Firefox is unavoidable. The current Mozilla leadership does not deserver much trust from the community.
🛠️ 💻 In the spirit of repairability and keeping good equipment alive, I've gathered up a few retired Thinkpads from local surplus auctions. I'm upgrading the RAM and drives and will be making them available in the next few weeks. These will be cozy little Solarpunk machines, older equipment preinstalled with a lightweight linux desktop and all the software you need for browsing, writing, docs, email, managing passwords, and videoconferencing.
I would like to find each one a good home with a nice person who will appreciate and take care of it. If you know of someone in the USA who would be a good fit, please put them in touch. I will be sending these for the cost of shipping (estimating about $40) with a completely optional tip jar to help cover the cost of upgraded parts.
When I have more details together I'll send out a link but for now ping me with any questions. Thanks! 🙏
If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users.
Just saying.
They need you more than you need them.
Stop complying with invasive requests.
Do you get frustrated when you look for Mac development learning material and find only books and articles for iOS? If so, check out the following list of Mac development resources:

If you haven't been able to ship your iOS/macOS 26 update yet and have been feeling bad about it, just remember:
Apple still hasn't shipped iWork with Liquid Glass, and Apple also opted all its pro apps out of Liquid Glass.
Final Cut Pro on iPad still doesn't support the background video exporting feature that was added to iPadOS 26 specifically to enable it.
Swift Playground doesn't even support the iOS 26 SDK, so you can't build Liquid Glass apps with it even if you wanted to
Reminded again today that many coders don’t know that floating point values are *not* safe to use for currencies and other types that require precise values.
Floats are fractionally imprecise. You might enter a value like 1.2345, but the float might store it as 1.2344. That kind of difference is fine in uses like graphics display, but for uses that depend on exact values, it can be disastrous.
In those cases, use something like a shifted integer, or a `Decimal` type.
