Damn, sad to hear. But, at least she'll live on through the lasting impact of her work on Star Trek. People will still be appreciating her art for (hopefully) many more decades to come!

Does this mean it's not showing in theaters on release, only on Paramount+? That's a strange decision. I assume they're hoping new people will sign up for Paramount+ to see it, but showing it in theaters could get a lot of new people interested in star trek who then might be motivated to sign up and check out the shows.
Also I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Oh well.
I'm honestly not against this. I know a lot of people will be furious with Mozilla about doing anything related to advertising, but as the article says:
And, for the foreseeable future at least, advertising is a key commercial engine of the internet, and the most efficient way to ensure the majority of content remains free and accessible to as many people as possible.
We may dislike ads, but the vast majority of internet users are not going to engage with content that requires you to pay up front. Creators and journalists need money to survive, and currently, ad-supported viewing is necessary for that to happen.
Instead of just hoping that advertising somehow goes away, I'm glad that Mozilla is working on ways for ads to exist without mass individual user tracking. I wish it wasn't necessary, but wishing won't change the world.
Damn, it is actually scary that they managed to pull this off. The backdoor came from the second-largest contributor to xz too, not some random drive-by.
Wait, really? I've found the new outlook opens emails faster than the old one, especially the HTML-heavy ones that my work loves to send me.
The refactor to the rules UI is really nice too, the old one was so crusty. Can't comment on the timezone issue though.
