That's billion with a B. So if you held out hope that filling out surveys or shitposting through it might turn this ship around, no. That much money has an event horizon.
Mozilla is cooked.

@jwz
Meanwhile the AI companies are burning the planet to build browsers from scratch as a benchmark.

@jwz My read is that Google—Mozilla's main funding source these days—have *ordered* them to spend money on AI (meanwhile supplying the money to do so). No mainstream browser may remain uncompromised by the grift. amirite?

@jwz according to Mozilla they will spend $130 million on AI bullshit. The $1.4 billion number is their total reserves.

@jwz I feel like you could fix a lot of browser bugs with $1.4 billion (assuming it isn't wasted on Clod subscriptions for the sloperators).

@jwz FF used to be OK but sadly enshitified now. Not as bad as Chrome or Edge. Yet.

@jwz Did mozilla somehow end up with all the AI bros not competent enough to grift from VCs rather than nonprofits or something?

@jwz It feels like someone needs to pull a Firefox on the Mozilla Foundation like Firefox did on the original Mozilla browser when it had lost its way.
Take the core technology of Firefox & fork a non-AI browser that is focused on the web. That's what a large swath of people want. Then let the downloads do the talking.
Firefox "won" because a lot of people were using it. Web developers loved it.
Make a browser that people fall in love with because it works and is fast & reliable without AI.

We all need to remember where Google's money comes from... #PrinceBonesaw and Chris Hohn.

We need more reporting on why the fossil fuel industry is suddenly so desperate to get AI into every aspect of tech & everyone's personal life
Browsers, robots, vehicles, farm tractors, home appliances, laptops, cloud services, IOT medical devices, news, content creation...

@jwz If users are so invested in the actions of this corporation, they should instead focus on creating a consumer cooperative for a browser so that they actually have a direct say in its operation

Vivaldi is neat. And the promised not to put any AI in their Browser.

@cstross @jwz I'm not so sure it's that. Mozilla view The Goog as a liability, and want to diversify revenue away from the disastrously single-sourced search royalties. They have concluded that the best way to do so is pursuing AI, while under the guise of "liberating" AI from corporate control. The latter is of course a joke, since uhhhh where exactly do those foundation models come from, even the "open" ones?

@jwz out of curiosity, what is a good, trustworthy, no nonsense upstart web browser these days?

> Città (Cultura) A fare da sfondo all’ottava edizione del festival Treviso Giallo, in programma dal 19 al 22 marzo - con un appuntamento off il 26 -, è un quesito, quanto mai attuale e il cui spettro travalica ampiamente i confini del noir letterario, che ruota intorno al tema della «menzogna» e di «quando la verità mente:

I would like to experiment writing an Android app, just for my personal joy. What is the most basic workflow I can follow for that? Do I really need Android Studio and 678 files from their boileplate just to write "hello world!" on the screen? I really can't believe that.

È un’intuizione controcorrente rispetto ai discorsi sul lavoro – dove il corpo e il desiderio sono separati da contratti, precarietà, malattia – e alla

Almeno dall’ottobre dell’anno scorso, stando alle testimonianze raccolte dalla procura di Milano. «DI’ A ZACK che, se lo becco, lo uccido», ha detto una volta il 41enne assistente capo del
