You can have one or two execs, as a treat; but certainly they don’t need to be paid crazy figures like what has been the case with Mozilla as of late. It’s not like they’re that important, in particular for the kind of project something like Firefox is (which could do with eg.: coop governance).
Okay, but what if after all this legal action Mozilla decides that it’s no longer worth serving the privacy conscious crowd? Which browser will you use then?
Firefox.
Just because the execs decide to stop serving the software, doesn’t mean the copies (and source code!) already out in the wild will automagickally stop functioning. You’ll still be able to visit websites the day after, the month after, the year after… And there’s still the devs, since they’re not the execs.
By the time there’s issues, there’ll still be the forks. Someone will have already step up to fork and keep the work on their own, too; the name just weighs enough that someone will want to be “the next Firefox” (not “the next Mozilla”). Or even better, the devs (obvs not the execs) will have jumped ship into any one of the various alternative projects such as ladybird, or might even have started a new project from scratch, hopefully intending for it to be a leaner and better browsr.
Nothing screams “capitalism!” louder than a geofencing over Anne Frank of all things.
Lemme see, US good, China bad?
NOYB would’ve done much better by talking to Mozilla directly and advocating for them to do the right thing going for a legal complaint as the final nuclear option. I
It has been already vastly demonstrated by Mozilla, that going to them and talking to them about how they shouldn’t do shitty things doesn’t work.
If it takes legal action to even try and save the browser, I’m all for it.
It is now o3o

Don’t Google hold the keys to the kingdom on that one? I see it as unlikely that Signal adds support.
They do stand up for themselves. Meaning, their bottom line.
I’ve never said Telegram is better. I’m just saying Matrix is also bad.
XMPP is the future.
Isn’t matrix like an absolute non for privacy?
I mean, you are not entitled to people being soldiers in your war against Big Tech. Like, I’d be totally for it, but some other time, nowadays I’m resting and being creative. Speaking of, not everyone here laps the crotch of Spotify et al. I’m a proud (but modest) pirate.
But the right solution is inconstitutional and anti-corporate! Even socialist and maybe even “woke”! So, this is the option TPTB are leaving us with.
Don’t like it? The second most useful thing to do compared to this is to ready your guillotine. That is the language they understand.
Oh yeah that should be cheap considering Cuba is right around the corner, for example.
Pros: you get to be your own boss.
Cons: you get to be your own employee.
I plan to keep using my current 2015-ish phone to watch my media at home, so it’s likely I’ll keep off of AV1 until phones are made somehow hardware upgradable (Fairphone?). Plus, in a general sense, in order to reacquire new media in a better codec you have to at least keep the old media around until you have finished verifying the new, otherwise you run the risk of ending up with no good copy.
By being moved to the main Wordpress branch, where everything has been known to be hackable since 1999, rather than staying in Tumbr’s however-modified branch where probably some exploits don’t work or have unexpected results.
Oh fair point.
Feel free to hire the admins then!
Wait, that might have come out wrong…
Talking news and sharing links? There’s lemmy for that!
