Do some searching here, on reddit, etc. You'll find it.

Good for the massive waves of people who want to give Mozilla money. They already can https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/?form=donate-header

That's not what I said. I said that they wanted to donate to Firefox, not Mozilla. I find it very telling that Mozilla doesn't let them do that, but insteads forces people to donate to the org, that overpays it's executives.

Oh yeah. I LOVE when my boss tells me that I am going to get paid less but I will be more effective because of it. Oh, wait, no I don't.

Who said that the people who are actually working on Firefox would get paid less? I certainly didn't. I clearly said that the useless executives would get paid less

Honestly? it sounds like you don't care about reality and just care about things being ideologically pure for you with the expectation that it will all work out. So... maybe try to educate yourself on any of all this before trying to have a discussion about it?

I have. But you clearly didn't read what I posted. If you aren't going to address the things that I wrote, why comment?

Apologies but I have a hard time addressing a lack of evidence and vague "Okay, we fire all the managers and get rid of most of the funding sources and everything will be better" nonsense. And the REAL problem is that... Thunderbird exists?

None of this is new or unique. Hell, the frigging Linux Kernel has a LOT of corporate sponsorship simply because users don't actually show up to pay

And I have a hard time addressing people who refuse to research, and keep arguing against things that I never said.

... do you often find people who research and argue your points to you for you?

[–] piefood@feddit.online 0 points 1 day ago

Yes. I find a lot of people actually learn what they are talking about before talking about it. I also find that a lot of people read what I write, and address those points, rather than points that I never made.
