thoughts on mozilla
• they know they have an image problem and are entirely disinterested in fixing it
• they are far from the only open-source/tech advocacy nonprofit on the planet and others do it better
• dunno why people keep defending them considering the above
re: thoughts on mozilla
Yeah, I'm entirely sympathetic with people taking issue with Mozilla. However, they seem to have the only fully functioning nonprofit browser. Also the only non-Chromium-based browser. And Chromium is an issue because its development is controlled by Google. Unfortunately, I think the issue with Mozilla and other nonprofits is that for-profit institutions still have outsize control over them via funding.

@unspeakablehorror @Satsuma webkit isn’t Chromium-based (but it isn’t nonprofit either) [but it’s arguably more nonprofit than Firefox, which is used to drive Pocket and Mozilla V·P·N subscriptions]
but no i’ve seen plenty of people who are more than happy to roll out “your problem is with Mozilla Corporation not Mozilla Foundation and also their huge C·E·O bonuses and A·I investment are just capitalism” when, in fact, no other open source foundation is Like This, mozilla is a huge outlier
re: thoughts on mozilla
@Lady @unspeakablehorror if i thought webkit might go away i would also be upset, as having only 3 browser options is dire enough
the AI is just Gross and idk why anyone would defend it (or brush it off as ‘just capitalism’ lol)
re: thoughts on mozilla
@Satsuma @unspeakablehorror i think the only people trying to make firefox go away are the people who fund it

Hmmm, this is actually a signature issue of modern capitalist rot, too (eg what happened with Toys R' Us). They may very well be trying to sink their own ship via mismanagement in the attempt to make some quick and easy money.
