The one thing I feel deprived of, is the proper sci fi aesthetic in our devices.

The beeps, the switches, the UI. All forsaken for an asinine black mirror .

They’re about to bomb iran on behalf of Israel so this will need to be some pitch.

this week the chat has all been “Mozilla are going in the wrong direction , They’re selling out, they using AI, they’re hiring ad experts”. - all over xitter all over lemmy.

Now someone dug up this old story about teixeira Suing them, because he claims they demoted him because of cancer. A

With the scarcity of facts available at this stage , one thing we know is that both AI and advertising were championed by…. Texeira - ex of Microsoft, twitter and Facebook.

So, an alternate but equally plausible narrative, might be “Teixeira strayed to far into commercialisation, received a shitty performance review, and got moved out of his role”

I guess hating Mozilla is very much in fashion. The tech chatterati have made it so.

They’ll move on, as they always do. I just hope Firefox is still here.

Safe space for teens cos playing as communists, where they can be nasty to outsiders.

I like the politics, but it’s filled with truly obnoxious children try to out-communist each other

the philosopher Bertrand Russell warned of the dangers of communisms tendency to become a religious cult and he was right.

Not at all and criticising him like this is churlish - and putting him next to Kissinger is grotesque misrepresentation of him.

He’s been completely clear on his views on America, and why they are the subject of his focus. He, together with Herman, have revised their initial comments on The Khmer Rouge (which were not exclusive to them but held by many academics of the time) but stand by their criticism of the general media narrative at the time.

You can read this in Manufacturing Consent

No one is perfect and there are errors in his work, but no one has written more truth about American imperialism and likely no one will.

Perhaps for this reason, there are continual and considerable motivations to discredit him.
