devs dont understand IP law or business. it doesnt matter if youre “innovative”. the concept of your techn was already R&D by someone else. you are beholden to them and they may license it but you will never own it. innovation is over.

its different this time. the work isnt coming back because the market is now saturated by an oligopoly. IP law and anti competitive practices have effectively stopped upstarts. thats why old tech corps like IBM, Oracle gave trump money and

ladybird does not have the resources to be a contender to current browsers. its well marketed but has no benefits or reason to exist over chromium. its also a major security risk as it is designed yet again in demonstrably unsafe c++.

i would not get an email for a domain that will be up for sale in 10 years. mozilla is not a sustainable org and has lost its core principles. Mozilla best serves people by shutting down and letting younger and better orgs replace it.

similiar to the iron law of orgs / oligarchy. all orgs that live long enough eventually exist to just perpetuate the org. the “reasons” become marketing and politics but are no longer seriously considered in their effectiveness.

if the “proper way” was effective we wouldnt be here. theres deep rooted careers propping up the corruption. the fed can no longer be allowed to indebt every citizen for the “greater good”. have to face the reality of numbers.

Donating to Mozilla is the same as burning money to keep warm. old orgs lose the people that made them and they become aimless inefficient monsters propped up by nepotism rather than competition. Mozilla has constantly ignored the market an

This is meaningless with a paid for service. Kagi can and will be required by court order to collect and track a subscribers use. It doesn't matter if your tech is supposed to be “anonymous”, they have to make it happen. You must ope

trusting that fed orgs are “trusted experts” is why youre stating “they had no incentive”. fed orgs are completely driven by politics. this is why they shouldnt exist. the “experts” are not at the helm, and rightfully left after the orgs fi
