Problem is that software cannot deal with unexpected situations like a human brain can. Computers do exactly what a programmer tells it to do, nothing more nothing less. So if a situation arises that the programmer hasn't written code for, then there will be a crash.

Most Video Games work on Linux these days.
Anti-Cheat software is usually still a problem though due to their invasiveness that cannot be handled easily.

No thanks.
I wonder which license they are going to use. Is it gonna be just an open source one or full-on FOSS?

Openstreetmap is really good...except for the detailed information about shops which is why I still use Google Maps if I need to know opening hours and other information.
OSM is just not widespread enough to be on the radar of shop owners to put their information on it themselves so volunteers have to do it. :/
They did a piece on nicotine a while back that opened with how amazing it is followed by how it fucks up your body over time.
If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that's coming your way eventually.
If they didn’t in all that time, it’s probably because they don’t want to keep their account.
That's an assumption that leads to corporate bullshit like this.
In that case why block the add-ons in the first place? There is a risk that the "Mozilla is blocking privacy friendly add-ons on the behest of an authoritarian regime!" news will become more widely known than any correction. If it had been a planned PR move then any person involved in it should never work in marketing again.
I was thinking the whole week if I should vote the greens or the pirates but due to the recurring campaigns to establish a surveillance state I did end up voting pirates. Incredibly disheartened they didn't get a seat :(
I remember warning labels on BIOS updates that basically said that if nothing is broken, don't do the update because the risk of bricking the device did not outweigh any potential benefits. That vendors are now pushing mandatory BIOS updates through Windows Update is terrifying.
I agree that the code is probably poor but I doubt it was a conscious decision to crash the OS.
The code is probably just:
And 2 fails unexpectedly because the data is garbage and wasn't checked if it's valid.
