@theruran Honestly, if I had any other option, I would ditch Firefox today. It's a pretty lame move.

Mozilla has not been able to stay focussed for some time now. I don't know what the hell the upper management is doing, but they've been a serious anchor for a while.

I had hope when Quantum came out. But wow. They have really fucked up. And won't admit it.

@GeoffWozniak yeah, their business strategy has been manic - when all I care about from them are Firefox and the web developer resources.

@GeoffWozniak They're being ass-holes to make/maintain they're fucking profits, like all "upper management" in all for-profit shit companies…

@theruran

@GeoffWozniak @theruran their* profits I meant 🤦‍♂️

@strypey @theruran Mais tellement : quand tu vois comment cela à explosé le monde associatif en France.

@strypey @theruran https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Message-to-Employees-Change-in-Difficult-Times.pdf

this internal memo makes it pretty obvious what's going on IMO

@syntacticsugarglider @strypey it's full of gaslighting such as "I desperately wish there was some other way to set Mozilla up for
success in building a better internet. ... Unfortunately, we can’t make that happen today."

@theruran @strypey sure, i'm not suggesting that one take this at face value. reading between the lines it's clear that mozilla has given up on the value they've actually built: MDN, Firefox, Servo, etc. and are focusing on trying to build a services business because they can't compete with either Apple's ecosystem lock-in or Google's market dominance when it comes to setting standards and building tools that people will use.

@syntacticsugarglider @strypey yeah - it just seems like a dubious strategy. they are literally firing the teams and downshifting the products/services that made them Mozilla.

quick! let's add more machine learning

@theruran @strypey very dubious, not a fan, and god how am i going to survive without mdn

time to spend 10x as much of my life reading w3c specs :(

@syntacticsugarglider @theruran @strypey The CSS specs are well written at least...

My main gripe there is that they could write a CSS3 (or whatever) spec for the others to build on rather than their CSS2 spec which isn't *entirely* correct anymore.

For HTML, definitely refer to some other reference rather than constantly shifting unversioned extremely long monster...

@Shufei I have no idea, but I doubt they are.

@kkremitzki I would look through the awesome list and maybe contact https://www.usworker.coop

You can look at https://www.zinc.coop/ and https://motion-twin.com as some software development co-op benchmarks.

@theruran TYVM!
