oh noes!

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs Given the amount of executive turnover the past several years the problems at Mozilla appear to be massively entrenched in their culture, it may not be redeemable and I hate that we have to hang on the thread of Servo hopefully being all it can be without getting corrupted in the meantime.

@reflex @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs yeah. the moz leadership problem has been stewing about 7~9yy (min, possibly longer), and is a symptom of wider capture etc. but .... it fucking sucks

we're in for a kinda rough time soon, I suspect. enough people dislike all this bullshit that I think we'll come out okay, but .... still a rough time

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs Maybe its time for HTTP over AP (ActivityPub) so we can just browse with our favorite fedi client lol?

[froztbyte@mastodon.social]

@reflex @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs that feels more curse than blurse

not sure if good idea

[reflex@retrogaming.social]

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs I mean AP has it's own issues, I'm just amused at the idea of taking everything away from the gatekeepers. AP isn't likely the right way to do that however.

@froztbyte second one I've heard of today!

Not content to just downright ignore the people that actually f#*£ing care, now @firefoxwebdevs are actively blocking them.

You know how there's always a sucker holding the bag at the end of every con? I feel like Firefox is that, for AI.

It's like with anything hot, by the time your boomer relative says it, it's dead and has been for years, but the carcass is still at Bernie's and miraculously sitting up.

[froztbyte@mastodon.social]

@paul @firefoxwebdevs to be clear, I'm blocked by his personal account not the work account

but... yeah. it does seem that calling them on their nonsense gets an Amplified Response. in one of the most classic abuser patterns.

lolshrug, nothing new under the sun etc etc

@eldersea @davidgerard @theorangetheme @froztbyte @firefoxwebdevs I think Google money made them too fat, they don't need to listen to their actual user base because their salaries get paid no matter what.

[froztbyte@mastodon.social]

@reflex @eldersea @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs https://stateof.mozilla.org/ has some detail

you have to guard your eyes against the rather horrendous antidesign made the taste for paper

but once you get into the details you also see that moz is >=$1.4b flush

which ..... is a tad beyond fat
