    1. I don’t think that the core developer would disagree much, I think it’s a problem of project decision made by that projects government body which is the Mozilla foundation and Mozilla Corp. So I would need to have a civilized conversation with these bodies executives.
    2. I can’t even script properly without accidentally deleting my home directory, so I don’t think that’s a valid path either.

    But it is pretty obvious that it is not the point here, or isn’t it? The fact that Mozilla is putting work into AI instead of I don’t know rewriting more of the Firefox backend in rust, which was the initial purpose of the language, is offensive. The Mozilla/Firefox VPN is offensive, because it is shit (was shit when I tried it). Sneaking in advertisement IDs into Firefox which are enabled by default is offensive. Having a for profit branch of Mozilla is offensive.

    These are all from memory, and probably not accurate, the point still stands, Mozilla puts stupid shit into Firefox nobody wants or needs, instead of developing it along user needs.

    Firefox is the last bastion of independent browser development. miss me with $obscure_browser_project, because they have no market share, cannot be used by my granny and are often using components of different browsers.

    This is all we got, the rest is chromium based and is developed by a advertisement company.

    I just want them to not add stupid shit. It costs money, manpower, and my nerves. None of them are available in abundance.


  • Sounds about right. I never liked sexual orientation as a term, because it focuses on the gender binary like with the Kinsey scale. There isn’t a good translation for it, but I like the German word Begehren more. Translating to desire and meaning “the person idea, or thing you desire”, leaving it more open to non binary and “orientations” like asexual.
