i went to the mozilla donation page and sent a contact request about wanting to financially support firefox but not giving a damn about the rest of the AI and adtech slop that mozilla is doing

here’s the response, for anyone that’s interested

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We genuinely value hearing from our supporters, as your insights help us understand what matters most to the Mozilla community.

It’s important to note that the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation are two separate entities within the Mozilla umbrella - Mozilla Corporation is responsible for developing and maintaining Firefox and other software products, and they are continuously working on improving the user experience, including addressing compatibility issues and promoting the browser to a wider audience.

The Mozilla Foundation, on the other hand, focuses on broader internet health and advocacy work. Our mission is to ensure the internet remains open and accessible for everyone, and this includes issues related to privacy, digital rights, and equity. To confirm, the survey that you had received was from the Mozilla Foundation.

With that being said, Firefox is funded by revenue generated through the product rather than donations. At the moment, there is no way for supporters to make a donation that will be designated to the development of Firefox. Have no fear, things are looking good for Firefox’s future and they plan to be around a long time, supporting folks with the most secure browser experience! Continuing to use Firefox, and recommending it to others, is the best way to support this project.

We truly appreciate your concerns about Firefox and their top priorities - We on the Mozilla Foundation strongly believe that issues such as privacy, online safety, and data security are connected to the products and services we all use every day. The work we do in these areas complements Mozilla Corporation’s focus on building better, more secure software like Firefox, and w encourage you to participate in our survey!

If you would like to input some of your thoughts and ideas into our Ideas discussion forum regarding Firefox and other Mozilla products, please visit: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas

We thank you again for reaching out to our Mozilla Foundation Donor Care team, and please let us know if we can support your further!

oooh i have that exact espresso machine (except they’ve mirrored it)! it’s a rancilio silivia… i use fedora and debian with a pinch of al2

the rust devs wanted to CREATE official structure definitions that don’t exist in C so that there was more semantic meaning to the APIs

i like how you call a dictionary definition simply “my” definition… if you’d like to learn more about the english language, i suggest you use a freely available dictionary website

it sounds like you don’t understand protest

normal /nôr′məl/

adjective

1. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical. “normal room temperature; one’s normal weight; normal diplomatic relations.”
2. Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies. Relating to or designating the normality of a solution.

definition 3 is not relevant, but i assume you’d agree that none of those definitions that were listed have specific statistical meanings

normal is not a useful statistical term: it does not mean average in any way - mean, median, mode, etc… normal is, in a social context, more likely to be interpreted to mean “Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies”, so i think you’d have to admit being described as “not normal” would piss some people off

please adjust your language

it serves the purpose to mock the request and make people think about the absurdity

in the same way that a request for a “white history month” should also be mocked - it’s just straight up trivialising the whole concept

there’s plenty of blame to go around; no 1, 2, or 3 people or groups are to blame

best we can hope for now is for netanyahu to bruise the orange ego somehow and find out what petty retaliation looks like

this is literally the exact kind of thing that chatgpt hallucinates. it’s not only not trustworthy, i’d bet on it being wrong

and then they continue to get <5% and trump gets another term… then what?

🤮

who in australia thinks we have 20% muslims? we probably dont even have 20% christians

this is very very wrong. the sound quality was a dumpster fire

that’s… not a great argument though… plenty of people didn’t think their phones were missing anything and then the iphone came along

they’re all on planes that fly around the world, constantly experiencing 8pm

irrelevant - everyone knows and agrees. that doesn’t change that this election you have exactly 1 choice

politics is shit. until you have other options, you have to live in the world you live in and not a fantasy

this has the same logic as saying npm install takes a while so just don’t use libraries

this is absolutely the information that needs to be at the top… old news, we know about it, calling it a back door is kinda disingenuous clickbait (or in this case, diplomacy bait?)
