@coriander there's an old cwebber (i think?) blog post that says this better than i can but i think it’s strictly fine that eugen wanted something diffurent from what the commewnity ended up wanting but in retrospect the purroject should purrobably have just been forked so somebody/people who actually cared about the safety features that were popular would be the one(s) in charge of implementing them
@coriander he always wanted to make Twitter 2 so i’m not exactly shocked it happened eventually; the major features that were popular early on were things he never actually even wanted to implement and to my understanding was quietly frustrated about feeling forced to do
@coriander it’s vital research
@Lady @coriander even websites which were on the latest PHP were still advised to go offline until actual patches were made available
@coriander remote code execution vulnerability on an extremely wide number of versions
@coriander unrelated disaster

@vaporeon_ @amy @The_T apparently so that mozilla can control the certificates being used in the browser
@vaporeon_ @amy @The_T i mean, "not receiving push updates from a proprietary service run by mozilla" sounds like decision librewolf would make to me
@amy sounds like a great plan im sure there will be zero negative consequences here c:
@vaporeon_ @The_T lol
@amy @vaporeon_ @The_T mozilla have had a service to push certificate store updates without requiring updating firefox itself because of the severity of the issue. since 2015, apparently. so yeah they were quick on it
