There’s intel as well. Probably a few other small players. Is Matrox still around?

They’re not actually unconnected. The skills built on recreational software piracy simply remain useful for industrial software piracy and sanctions-avoidance.
Does it matter, unless there’s an agreement that says the US (or some other place where Mozilla actually operates) will enforce Russian law?
Sure, and they can regulate it by blocking access to Mozilla. That’d be within their authority.
That doesn’t mean Mozilla has to answer to them. Mozilla would be within their rights to ignore Roskomnador.
Whether they should is another matter but they don’t have to respond.
operating within that country,
That’s kind of an important detail there… as far as I know Mozilla does not operate within Russia.
I mean… yes? Generally laws only apply within the borders of their jurisdiction.
What, are the Russian police going to come to the US and arrest the CEO of Mozilla Corporation?
Mozilla, as a law-abiding organization, must at least acknowledge the requests of a regulatory agency within its own country.
TIL that Mozilla is a Russian company.
But seriously why the hell would Mozilla be obliged to acknowledge this request? Do they have offices in Russia?
I do know what you mean and I know there’s some weird British vs American English thing where sometimes parentheses are called brackets or something.
Those are square brackets not parentheses
/srv is for “site-specific data which is served by this system.”
How to interpret that is up to for debate, but it seems clearly to be “user files” as opposed to “system files”. “Served” is a bit ambiguous but I don’t think it really requires that it be made accessible with a network service.
Basically I’d treat this as a location to mount/store your non-personal data such as music, videos, etc that should be accessible to anyone using your system. It could be network-exported as well but doesn’t have to be.
/net is for files imported from the network.
