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

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

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

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?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago

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

Has anybody tried Zen Browser?

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm finding it interesting, I prefer Librewolf.

[–] Danitos@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days 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.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 2 points 1 day 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.

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

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.

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can't turn off the sidebar?

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days 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.

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

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

[–] InstallGentoo@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago

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