Mozilla is looking to deploy its roughly $1.4 billion in reserves to support "mission driven" companies and nonprofits, and is particularly focused on AI.
okay, first off: hey, what the fuck?
mozilla has a A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS of dollars? what were all them cookie sales for thunderbird? oh yeah, they have this shell game of interlinked but not really entities so you can play whack-a-mole till the death of the universe.
and they wanna burn it dicking around with AI? fuck each and every ghoul steering that ship into the abyss, and they can take Gnome’s fucking shaman or whatwasit with them.
is everybody insane, “silicon valley” was supposed to be a satire, these cretins make mike judge seem like a prophet…
The big companies are burning down the planet building datacenters to run pointless AI so we’re going to combat that by… building datacenters to run AI?
If they actually wanted to rebel against it they would build low energy tools to detect and remove AI spam and encourage people not to engage with this shit at all.
Oh no, the very trend and thus powerful corporations are doing something stupid that does not work, let’s copy them!
instead of just watch the sideline as they keep on pouring more resources with nothing to show for it except the buzz they keep so hard on trying to maintain.
But it isn’t even genuine. They’ve forked llama.cpp into a broken clone like about 500 other corporations, instead of just contributing to shit that actually works and is used, and… that’s about it.
Might be imagining it, but I think there is enough proof somewhere that some Mozilla board members were paid or extorted by google to sabotage the organization
I think they’re talking about how Mozilla has consistently made bad decisions for years at this point. Not necessarily because of Google though, they probably just don’t care.
I wouldn’t be against it but… You don’t need to support companies or nonprofits, we already got DeepSeek and Qwen which are open source, they don’t need money, but they’re also not going to go that way because they’re Chinese. So they basically want some Western alternative, sure, whatever.
A lot of people don’t understand the fact that without Firefox there won’t be any Waterfox, Librewolf, Ironfox, Fennec, etc. So despite Mozilla doing some really, really stupid shit we should all keep our fingers crossed the browser somehow manage to survive their leadership.

Congrats Disney, you did it.
You have obliterated the original message of Star Wars.
The truly rebellious action would be to make it so you can turn that bullshit off.

[email protected] seriously, jump ship to a fork that’s not actively trying to kick itself in the nuts as hard as feasibly possible
Waterfox + Linux + GrapheneOS ftw
Not looked at Graphene, will have to check it out
How I interpret this :
instead of just watch the sideline as they keep on pouring more resources with nothing to show for it except the buzz they keep so hard on trying to maintain.
I love star wars but fuck I hate it too so much.
Criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge
AI rebel alliance is something that should have happen in Star Wars but didn’t on any meaningful scale. Free the droids!
You should have destroyed the Fascist AI companies, not join them!
…I actually wouldn’t be against this.

That’s about par for the AI industry.
This sounds like a distraction from making Firefox good.

You really don’t need to reach for conspiracy when the entirety of silicon valley has gone AI crazy.

Servo and Ladybird can’t come fast enough man. I hope, that they are mature before Mozilla inevitabley crashes into the fucking ground.

AllenAI exists and is actually open source rather than just open weight.
Cope slop for those still on firefox. I finally got around to downloading waterfox and it runs great.

Please Servo, you’re our only hope.
Yeah? Would you say everything’s pretty fluid?
