The goal for OSS projects is always different. Many projects solve a problem for the developer(s) and them alone. They don’t care about it ‘thriving’ or adding features that don’t align with that problem.

I find it confusing when people complain that other people won’t spend time implementing things that they want. If you want feature A, fork the project and add it. I appreciate that’s easier said than done, but if you can’t or won’t do that, stop complaining about what other people do with their time.

Not all software is the same. Get used to them being different.

it hasn’t been able to capitalize on the many waves of exodus and twitter controversies for over two years now

You’re making the assumption that it wants to.

The goals of Mastodon are very different from Twitter.

Unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit it as someone who has left Chromium behind personally, Chromium is kind of the only choice.

With Mozilla’s rudderless stewardship of Firefox, I reluctantly agree with this. Firefox, and Mozilla, used to stand for something more than just a browser, but that is sadly vanishing now. Chrome is really the future and while I’m clinging on to Firefox, I will succumb in the end.

It’s very sad. I’ve been a Firefox user for so long I’ve lost count. But Mozilla has lost it’s way and I don’t see it making any noise about getting back on course.

I think having one browser engine is a very bad idea. But here we are.

I use pfSense and tried to migrate away in the past. The changes I would have had to make to setup opnsense were so significant that I gave up for to lack of time. I don’t have time luxury of downtime so I need to migrate quickly.

But if I were starting again I’d absolutely avoid the pfSense project and their childish shitty behaviour.

I do plan to buy more hardware to replace my current pfSense box and take my time to implement opnsense gradually.

I’m not sure what the difference between this and autorandr are?

If you’re looking for something like this, but not paid for, try Debian stable. Same idea but free. Ubuntu also have an LTS version and I’m sure others.

The “Enterprise” in the title just means “support”, which is a check box for a lot of organisations. Not so much home users.
