Exactly! Mozilla wants people to know, they don't give a shit.

A few years of party for executives are still possible, and just before Firefox and Thunderbird go into oblivion, quickly into a new management position at an ai company (or whatever may be the hype, then).

Mark my words!

Running a simple Mastodon server is not a big thing.

Setting up a resilient big instance, like Vivaldi does, requires commitment.

I am definitely starting to hate #Mozilla.

As a remark: I have always been fine with their deal with Pocket and having Google as their default search engine. In the end, there are bills to be paid.

Until I learned that e.g. Mozilla Corporation's CEO is on a multi-million dollar salary, and they're hiring ai and ad people.

Not OK for an entity where many highly skilled people code for free.

It's not what users want the cash to be spent on.

Leaving the Fedi is the final drop

@Buddahriffic

Same!

But isn't it a bit sad, we've all become so paranoic whilst at the same time being total oblivious to sharing lots of data, just because we want to know what the kitten did to the alligator?

@Buddahriffic

Yes, It was easier to do truly representative polls, when people loved answering questions and everybody had a landline.

@jangdonggun

Of course, it's not official.

I made this poll, as just a normal Fedi user.

It got more attention than I had anticipated, though.

Fake Professionalism!

I don't believe that CEOs, who demand a 7 digit salary, have the ability to understand the soul and heart of a collective of people (in the case of many #FOSS projects: some of the world's most skilled and talented programmers), who donate lots of their time and energy for a project they believe in, and hence lack the credibility and skills necessary for making them thrive in the long term.

Firefox's ever falling market share proves that.

as being a prominent and established way of accessing the internet without using a product owned by one of three three tech giants.

No niche browser can play the same role.

To me, hopping onto a running train doesn't seem to be the way to go when it comes to creating and keeping trust:

People, who think that cars are a terrible way of getting people around in cities, don't want another Tesla, they want a good bike.

Here we have a problem, common to many non-profits:

Same with reconfiguring space ships in flight. What a bs!

Picard was, IMO, not a TV series, but pure fan service. If it hadn't been for Jeri Ryan, it wouldn't have been watchable. The third season was the worst.

SNW was clearly made to not offend anybody. Solidly made, no experiments.

Just the right thing to keep an extremely conservative fan base happy.

Discovery had one (big) flaw:

Unnecessary dialogues!

Except for the episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, they totally ignored the "Show, don't tell" rule.
