@thibaultamartin their values are sucking the wang of Google (their primary donor).
Internally they use gmail instead of thunderbird.

for all those who didn't yet know...

I wanted to write a more nuanced follow up but @anildash already wrote it. I’d recommend everyone who boosted this to have a read.

The TLDR for me is

- Numbers say people do want AI
- Mozilla has a role to play in educating people about AI, to protect their privacy
- Mozilla is terrible at announcing such features, and seems to lack coordination overall

@thibaultamartin

let them die, if there is nobody in the company in charge to prevent the execs to throw shit in the fan they do not deserve it, missing qualitymanagement has to be punished

Mozilla sprouted Rust and Servo. They can do cool things that make the world a better place, even if it takes more work to extract a marketing argument for an investor brochure.

It's frustrating to see Mozilla dig its own hole of irrelevancy.

@thibaultamartin Forum users are quite vocals on this too
