Surya Teja K<p>I am really rooting for <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Ladybird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ladybird</span></a> browser to be ready so I can jump ship. </p><p>Mozilla has clearly lost their vision of being a non-privacy invasive, truly free and open web browser. Their re-wording of the T&C doesn’t mean shit if your identity and ideology has changed.</p><p>If I had my way at Mozilla, I would:<br>1. Close for-profit organisation, kick out the C-suites, hand over any and all power back to the non-profit organisation.<br>2. CEO is getting a HUGE pay cut. (quit if you are unhappy)<br>3. Sell the ad company to recoup the costs (might not make a profit)<br>4. Make sure to restructure the organisation without layoffs (or keep them to a bare minimum).<br>5. Google money would have to stay (for the next few years) unfortunately until we figure out where to invest/pull out money from.</p><p>A man can dream 🙃</p><p>Thunderbird would still be with us (Love you <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>thunderbird</span></a></span>) though. </p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/diary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diary</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mozilla</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/mozillacorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mozillacorp</span></a></p>

thesaigoneer<p>These ignorant, incompetent fucks at Mozilla. Try to delete my account. "You've tried too many times. Please try again in 15 minutes". At the first attempt. Yeah, I'll be back!<br /><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MozillaCorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MozillaCorp</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Firefox</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mozilla</span></a></p>
bignose<p>The <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Debian</span></a> project packages <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Firefox</span></a> as 'firefox-esr'.</p><p>(Please don't offer speculation, I'm asking for substantiated information) Will that package continue to package a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> Firefox browser, as it does today? How?</p><p>The odious "terms of use" that <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MozillaCorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MozillaCorp</span></a> intends to erect as a barrier to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SoftwareFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoftwareFreedom</span></a>, is incompatible with the DFSG. How will this be resolved? Cease to package Firefox in Debian? Strip any imposed barrier and continue the free Firefox package? Or what?</p>
