“Only” comes with a lot of implied strings attached. Can Mozilla bite the hand that feeds them? If they can, they should, especially if Google is as evil as they are. If they can’t, well, we’ve identified their master, haven’t we?
Bruh everything is funded by some sort of criminal. Jeffery Epstein could have donated to the Mozilla foundation for all we know. You literally cannot tell.
Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL which was created at the Free Software Foundation which was started by Richard Stallman who made controversial comments about Jeffrey Epstein in 2019. Don’t breath or you might inhale an atom once exhaled by Adolf Hitler.
This doesn’t bother me. The gays have won equal rights. Their push for acceptance and parity with straight people has been wildly successful. It’s like if I found out the CEO of a company I love financially supported anti-pet lobbying groups…good luck taking away people’s cats and dogs.
The only rights gay people might have not won involves adoption, but I feel like thats anti-man more than anything else. Society doesn’t feel comfortable giving a person a child unless there is a woman involved.
I started reading this and thought it was ironic but then i saw the pet example and that made me think… but then i realized im getting rage baited… yay so nice to use the internet nowadays
I have some pretty contrarian opinions, at least in the context of Lemmy. I used the pet example because I have a cat. I love my cat, but whether or not the people who make my products love cats doesn’t concern me. They’d need to be in a position to actively harm my cat to justify a boycott.
I can imagine you saying “This doesn’t bother me. The women have won reproductive rights,” in 2022 just before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and it’s sending me
Of course they just had to make it somewhat contreversial by adopting braves adblock engine; brave’s ceo or whatever funds anti gay lobbyists.
Brave is also backed by Peter Thiel.
Just wait till you find out who funds Firefox.
Could it be… Satan?
It’s Google. So…… yes.
Iirc google only pays Mozilla for a. Having google as the default search engine and b. Avoiding antitrust lawsuits.

First I’ve heard of that. Source?
His foundation has invested in it per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)
Thanks, I knew about some of Brave’s controversies but missed that.
I also wasn’t previously aware that Brave’s CEO, Brendan Eich, was a homphobic shithead, either.
People won’t pay for anything, and are then surprised by who actually pays for stuff.
These developers need to eat too.

That’s a very convenient position that absolves you from any responsibility to do anything. Convenient, but I don’t think correct.
