I'm not sure I want to see #mozilla (and therefore #firefox and #thunderbird ) move in the #direction of #socialmedia - especially as they are clearly looking at #leftwing #options https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozi..
Weird, #mozilla 's #thunderbird keeps locking up during #login and #compression ...
Looks like #mozilla 's #thunderbird #email #client is getting a massive #overhaul to the #ui - and hopefully the #backend too: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/06/thu..
Okay, so I have been following #jwz for years - I had zero idea he was a #founder of #mozilla https://mobile.twitter.com/jwz/status/14.. I just know him from his #xserver #research ! Anyway, this comes as the #mozilla #foundation have begun excepting #crypto #payments - which he correctly identifies as the planet destroying waste of time it is: https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/05/m..
For fuck sake. #network #usage whilst doing *nothing* was 6MB/s down... Checked it out, turns out it is *just* #firefox . Restarted it, now down to nothing. What the actual hell #mozilla .
#firefox is now using #darkpatterns to get #user #location #data and share it to #advertisers https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/08/m.. What the hell is going on at #mozilla ? It really feels like they are losing their way...
This #article is pretty weak in evidence and claims, but the idea is there: http://techrights.org/2021/08/05/lousy-m.. I believe that in the current #political climate, pretty much any large #organization is doomed to fail. #mozilla #firefox have got management with specific ideas about how they should move forwards. For example, they implemented a #vpn and have been hiring ex- #facebook #data #scientists ... I'm not entirely sure they are going in the right direction.
