  1. @lambert> shouldn't we all be more forgiving to as the last "other option" in a browser monoculture?

    Forgiving to an organisation building that browser? Yes. But has long ago ceased being that organisation, they are now nakedly user-hostile and wantonly trashing whatever good will has.

  3. I am really rooting for #Ladybird browser to be ready so I can jump ship.

    Mozilla has clearly lost their vision of being a non-privacy invasive, truly free and open web browser. Their re-wording of the T&C doesn’t mean shit if your identity and ideology has changed.

    If I had my way at Mozilla, I would:
    1. Close for-profit organisation, kick out the C-suites, hand over any and all power back to the non-profit organisation.
    2. CEO is getting a HUGE pay cut. (quit if you are unhappy)
    3. Sell the ad company to recoup the costs (might not make a profit)
    4. Make sure to restructure the organisation without layoffs (or keep them to a bare minimum).
    5. Google money would have to stay (for the next few years) unfortunately until we figure out where to invest/pull out money from.

    A man can dream 🙃

    Thunderbird would still be with us (Love you @thunderbird) though.

  4. The project packages as 'firefox-esr'.

    (Please don't offer speculation, I'm asking for substantiated information) Will that package continue to package a Firefox browser, as it does today? How?

    The odious "terms of use" that intends to erect as a barrier to , is incompatible with the DFSG. How will this be resolved? Cease to package Firefox in Debian? Strip any imposed barrier and continue the free Firefox package? Or what?

  5. The #Debian project packages #Firefox as 'firefox-esr'.

    (Please don't offer speculation, I'm asking for substantiated information) Will that package continue to package a #FreeSoftware Firefox browser, as it does today? How?

    The odious "terms of use" that #MozillaCorp intends to erect as a barrier to #SoftwareFreedom, is incompatible with the DFSG. How will this be resolved? Cease to package Firefox in Debian? Strip any imposed barrier and continue the free Firefox package? Or what?

  6. @bignose @mozillaofficial That is a good path for activism. Let's compost the #techshit changing the leadership of #mozillaCorp would be useful and needed action on this path.

  8. Whether or not the obnoxious "Terms of Use" actually come into effect, the @mozillaofficial corporate management have shown us their arses. We cannot trust them again.

    The current leadership of have failed the primary job of that organisation:

    * Be a champion for , , and on the .
    * Maintain and promote the excellent, , reference web browser for everyone.
    * That's all.

    Workers, boot the leadership out.

  10. And there it is: @[email protected] loses its Advocacy division, and the loses what was once a champion.

    “We’re revisiting how we pursue that work, not stopping it” says the Mozilla Foundation. Oh yeah, laying off workers is “revisiting” how to do the work, all right.

    is nakedly a profit-seeking promotional body today.

  12. @jwz puts it bluntly:

    “They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way.”

  13. @[email protected], you *must* change leadership. They are selling out the entire user base, to the .

    > Anonym is building technology that can provide more privacy-preserving infrastructure for data sharing between advertisers and publishers.

    Bullshit. Stop handing your users to surveillance creeps.
