     @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Mozilla has more than enough money to maintain a browser.
     
     But they waste their money on a lot of bullshit and they aren't in financial peril at the moment, they are just greedy.

     @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo i'm sure the rest of the staff aren't being paid competitive salaries, but that'd be pretty easy to fix...

     @radmin@limepeeps.perchinup.top Mozilla is already making more revenue than ever. They don't need to do this. They don't need 500 million dollars to maintain a browser.

     @eliseo01@fe.disroot.org @radmin@limepeeps.perchinup.top I honestly trust the The Wikimedia Foundation a lot more than Mozilla.
     
     Sure, the Wikimedia Foundation doesn't have a 100% perfect track record either and they make mistakes too (especially the way they raise funds). But I still believe that most of the things Wikimedia does are good things for the world.
     
     Mozilla however seems to be more interested in all sorts of things that nobody wants to see from Mozilla like web3 projects, "AI" bubble project, "privacy friendly" advertising technology, or literally anything that has nothing to do with maintaining a goddamn browser.

     you probably didn't correct the salary for inflation.

     fiatmoney is garbage and easily devalues 50% in 20 years. you need to keep that in mind.

     "This table demonstrates the significant decrease in the purchasing power of the US dollar over time[..]97.3% loss in purchasing power[..]value has decreased by 37.57 times since 1900, meaning that today's prices are 37.57 times higher than they were in 19004"

     how about these cunts start embrassing capitalism and roll out a paid version of mozilla without the spyware and advertising bullshit.

     if you want the free version, you have to deal with their bullshit, but give people the option to pay 5€/year to get a no-bullshit version !

     @pernia@cum.salon I'm not of the opinion that everyone should always build everything for free. People need money, to live.
     
     I advocate for more people getting paid a professional salary to maintain a free software project, either commercially, through crowdfunding or government grants. It's always good thing.
     
     Also I'm not actually really an anti-capitalist. I just think our current form of capitalism is very broken because it allows unethical business practices and monopolies.

     I don't think it's that innocent. They've been removing features and firing devs and instead funding research into how to censor the open web for years now.

     https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/fellow-research-decentralized-web-hate/

     And just recently they announced a whole brand refresh to make clear that they are not 'just a technology company', but rather a "global crew of activists".

     https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-brand-next-era-of-tech/

     I think they want your data to identify wrongthinkers.

     @SuperDicq everyone should build what they want without expecting anything in return. You do it because its useful or cool to you, and you share it if it could be useful to someone else.
     
     I agree with paying open source devs, have an org that provides hardware infra salaries etc. But "funding" shouldnt be the end goal, in fact it leads exactly to the point where many proyects are because they become driven by external influences from parties that dont share the vision of the proyect.
     
     Also what allowd unethical business is the government and the jews.
