PS My apologies @nicktaylor, now that I've read more into Ladybird I see they're doing both. Creating a new browser *and* a new not-for-profit for it. I'll be intrigued to see how they plan to structure the org to avoid Mozilla's fate.

Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser. Even if only to swap them out over time, as Chromium did.

@gabrielesvelto @Mozilla @mozilla_support @fuchsiii yes, and #Mozilla deciding to fragment #FirefoxOS more by basically letting #MNO / #MVNO run the #AppStores instead of having a reference one made it worse than the chinese domestic market cuz at leadt there one can just get an agent to enshure one's apps are in all #Android AppStores there...

  • It really felt like a regression in a time when even #prepaid providers in #Germany stopped #NetLock|ing & #SimLock|ing devices and #ALDItalk was the established prepaid leader with a €2,99 flat between it's clients.

#Firefox is fine. The people running it are not
#Mozilla's management is a bug, not a feature
Mozilla’s leadership is directionless and flailing because it’s never had to do, or be, anything else. It’s never needed to know how to make a profit, because it never had to make a profit. It’s no wonder it has no real direction or vision or clue: it never needed them. It’s role-playing being a business.

@gabrielesvelto I still remember #FirefoxOS and I'm still mad at @Mozilla / @mozilla_support / #Mozilla for self-sabotaging because neither me nor @fuchsiii nor anyone else I knew who did #WebDev / #AppDev / #MobileDev could even buy a device.

  • The only device that I was aware of launched in the #EU was a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain which wouldn't sell it to us since they demanded #KYC with a spanish residency address.

I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile #OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!

  • Same like #OpenMoko: I'd love to get a #Neo1973 but none of the phone and electronic stores had it (and back then I was under 16 so I couldn't just make an account at an online shop)…

I too am willing to put money where my beliefs are honored. Please please please @Mozilla let us have a way of directly supporting the free and open software of choice directly!

Mozilla Discourse · Let me pay for Firefox!Hi Mozilla community, I’m a long time Mozilla supporter, I’ve published free (as in freedom) and open-source software, and I desperately want Mozilla to charge for Firefox. If that sounds like a contradiction, please keep reading. I first became involved with the Mozilla community around 2006. I was active in the Spread Firefox project, where I ran a contest that encouraged others to promote Firefox in the most creative ways they could imagine.

I have been donating 5€ a month to the #Mozilla Foundation for the past few years as a substitute because there was no way to for me to actually pay for #Firefox. I truly believe that open source software should be paid for. This is the only way it can be sustainable for the volunteers and ultimately the users.

Curiously I think it was Mozilla who stopped my recurring donation from their side a few months ago, if I remeber.

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️

If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.

I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.

Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/f

Next up: moving to @wallabag 🤗

Firefox è ok. Le persone che lo gestiscono no! Ecco perché la gestione di Mozilla è un bug, non una feature...

Contare tutti i treni che #Mozilla ha perso è un penoso calvario, ma qualcuno deve farlo...

"Non incolpare l'app, non incolpare i programmatori (o almeno quelli che, dopo anni di licenziamenti, un lavoro ancora ce l'hanno) e non incolpare nemmeno l'organizzazione: incolpa il management!"
