re: mozilla
@aescling @wallhackio there’s been a blogpost going around criticizing a different blogpost their president (not c·e·o) made (this one: <https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mark-surman-mozilla-25-years/>) in which mozilla implies that it is pivoting away from firefox development and into a·i investment, and indeed, in the past year, firefox has invested huge amounts of money in a·i while usershare (and profits) from firefox have been in a steady decline
but i’m also old enough to remember when they thought it was a good idea to hire “industry color specialists” to create limited‐edition firefox themes that nobody wanted (<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/personalize-firefox-colorways>), or that time that they non‐consensually downloaded a browser plugin on every firefox installation in order to promote a television show (<https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/16/16784628/mozilla-mr-robot-arg-plugin-firefox-looking-glass>), or, you know, every other firefox marketing or capital‐raising venture mozilla has attempted in the past decade

web standardization history
mozilla didn’t just directly profit from a situation where only large browsers manufacturers had any say in the direction of the web, they actively created it
web standardization history
remember when W3C leaned too hard into user-centric design and modularity and new X·M·L technologies
and Brendan Eich, noted homophobe, grew concerned with this, not because of its impact to ordinary people, but because he thought that monolithic web browsers manufacturers would wind up losing out to newer, bespoke applications
and so he got Mozilla and Opera together to write a letter saying that the future of computing on the web should take place entirely within the web browser using nothing but HTML, CSS, and a whole lot of Javascript (a language he created)
and they forked HTML from W3C, setting up WHATWG, an organization controlled entirely by web browser implementors, to decide the future of the web going forward
and then Mozilla used the fact that they were “the only nonprofit with a seat at the table of standardization organizations” in their fundraising campaigns for the next decade
re: thoughts on mozilla
@unspeakablehorror @Satsuma GNOME Web, also known as Epiphany, is built on Webkit
i’m not sure what the current status of it is since i think most Linux distributions have switched to Firefox, but it seems to still be putting out releases
re: text editor discourse
nobody writes programs which solve real people problems anymore
re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
@aescling damn i can't believe i’ve been working on this for two whole years
re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
@aescling the default behaviour (of printing a help dialog) is especially funny considering that the makefile still rebuilds and restarts itself twice to get there
re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
first commit of the new year

re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
@aescling i agree but did it anyway
re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
(it may not work on Linux; i might have used an incompatible option for `touch´)
re: wake up babe new static site generator dropped
this is very much just a minimum viable implementation right now; there’s more to add but this WORKS

@gaditb i’m working on it but i’m still building the technology
re: thoughts on mozilla
@Satsuma @unspeakablehorror i think the only people trying to make firefox go away are the people who fund it
re: thoughts on mozilla
@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
