because there are overdue hosting payments

oops.

Although it's quite an asshole move by discourse to communicate this so openly.

I wouldn't want to have a community hosted there when a forgotten expired credit card or something would immediately cause this message to show

I’m not sure if the issue lies on Discourse. The software itself is FOSS.

AFAIK I didn’t saw any limitation on the on-prem edition, so I don’t get it why a company like Mozilla doesn’t have the resources to handle that.

And, even if they are using Discourse’s Cloud infrastructure, it’s not common for services to reach the end of payment without sending a ton of warnings.

... Are you trying to steal my handle or what?

Step aside bro, there is a new sheriff in town 😅

I hope it's just an error and not actually them shutting them down

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I assume there's just some payment fuckup somewhere. it happens

Actually no. If your customers are assholes, threat them as such.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

depends. Continue to not pay? Absolutely. One missed payment that could have easily have been a simple fuckup somewhere? No

Has anybody tried Zen Browser?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Yes, I used it the last three month but stopped now, it's nice but overall too buggy at least on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, I've been using it for a few months now, I love it and it is my daily driver. The ux is very nice. It is also very buggy when a new release comes out though, mostly because I don't think there nightly builds have enough users.

I'm finding it interesting, I prefer Librewolf.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you know how can I migrate my Firefox data to Librewolf? I think my main concern is history and then open tabs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There is an option in settings to use Mozillas sync service. I would be lost without it. It brings all the bookmarks & add-ons with it.

It didn’t work well for me on a 13” laptop screen. I didn’t want to give up that horizontal space.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can't turn off the sidebar?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can, but why use zen if you don't care about vtabs?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As a protest against Firefox for people who still want to support Gecko. There are a few options, and Zen is one of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well sure but that's a like...the last three days, type of thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Installed it the other day and I like it a lot so far

Totally a coincidence. Mozilla would never do anything to spite the userbase.
