What's an AP messenger? (This better not be the setup for a punchline).

I'm absolutely okay with vilifying people asking for sources on the historical existence of snow.

I bet they saw the source and said "oh, yes, thank you for the source, I have updated my opinion based on this new information."

Remindme works on lemmy?

Thank you for breathing a bit of sanity into this thread. Same here. Some commenters were like "oh there's already too many adds" and I was like wait, what? They're not adding more adds to Firefox, are they? The article doesn't suggest that.

The "Mozilla bad" crowd echo chamber has gotten completely out of control in my opinion, and it's an avalanche of low effort comments, dozens of upvotes, and it's kind of a self sustaining echo chamber that exists because it exists.

I think the only real path forward is for a developer to figure out a way to decentralize video hosting

That's what Peertube is all about. It's like the Lemmy version of Youtube. And it seems to have real funding and development mojo.

I would emphatically reject that any progress is being made. I'll be moving on to other conversations.

I was using them interchangeably. I guess one is understood to be kind of a general foundation or overall company, whereas Firefox is just the browser itself

I would say you're basically right. I think Mozilla can try to grab a slice of the pie, the Q is if it's enough, and fast enough, to replace revenue from the search partnership.

Yeah, I don't love Manifest V3 adoption, just for what it implies about Google's ability to push standards it wants. (Is google even pretending it's not purposely targeting ad blockers with V3?) But if you have to, this is the way to go.

Your argument that hitting at the CEO ignores the whole context of market dominance of Google could IMHO also used against your argument: If the CEO is so powerless that she cannot take the responsibility for the decline of Mozilla, than why does she get payed at all.

That's my argument? I don't recall supporting the CEO pay. Pretty sure I said I don't like it. And just to be clear, I am finding it hard to justify that much for a CEO. So that's not turning my argument against me, because that was never my argument.

What it would really look like to, as you say, "turn my argument against me" would be something that speaks to Google's search monopoly, ads monopoly, and hundredfold advantage in revenue, and why, in light of those facts, they would imply that Mozilla should have more market share. Like if I forgot to carry a two somewhere in my math, or why they are actually proof of a synergy that Mozilla is benefiting from that I'm not accounting for. Those would be examples of turning the arg against me, and I'm happy to hear it if there is one.

Non-profit doesn't mean that there's no employees. They're still organizations that have a cash flow, seek to raise funds, and employ people to serve their mission. Most non-profits have paid employees.
