A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

People, please stop shooting the messenger. Please.
With that out of the way: I wish Mozilla didn't waste so much money on chasing the latest trend of the season, and instead used it for its main products. Including Thunderbird. The one asking for donations.
Some years from now Thunderbolt will likely pop up in this list, of abandoned Mozilla products. Because it isn't the result of Mozilla finding a niche to create an AI product to benefit users; it's simply execs chasing the latest trend.
*Beehaw users are likely not seeing this, but this post has a bunch of downvotes.
Neither your comment nor the post have a lot of down votes and I'm not on beehaw
My comment doesn't, but the OP does. Four downvotes in Beehaw is quite a lot, given the local users don't downvote. Same thread is in the negatives in one of the cross-posts even if it's on-topic.
And, like. I get why people would react negatively towards the product itself, but I don't think it's good tone to react like this towards the news being shared, you know?
Totally agree. Downvote button is for marking low quality posts, not to express disagreement. For disagreements there is a comment section.
