@[email protected] Oh, the irony.

@[email protected] Uh-huh. Yep. Sure. Let’s give them every benefit of the doubt.

@[email protected] I bet you’re great fun at parties.

@[email protected] Oh, I don’t know… I wonder why…

https://www.mozilla.ai/

@[email protected] Mozilla is a not-for-profit that owns a half-a-billion dollar a year for-profit that gets its half-a-billion dollars a year from Google.

Or, as their head of public policy once told me: “Why are you being so hard on us? We’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

🤷‍♂️

@[email protected] 🤷‍♂️

At least they’re open source so you should be able to see exactly what information is being collected if you dive into the code.

@[email protected] * A not-for-profit that owns a half-a-billion dollar a year for-profit that gets its half-a-billion dollars a year from Google.

@[email protected] @[email protected] No, they can’t dictate terms of use for forks without violating their own open source license.

@DodoTheDev @Lokjo @librewolf @Vivaldi Yeah, although I just read that they’re using the manipulative “Maybe later” pattern in at least one of their dialogs so that would be a good thing to fix for the future (I’m using Vivaldi too as my default browser.)

The opposite of “Yes” is “No”, not “Maybe later.”

@Bro666 @[email protected] @[email protected] Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?

@Aaron @[email protected] @[email protected] Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.
