Lol if Google really wanted to kill FF they would just stop paying them half a billion a year.

They are already training on the fediverse. If something is on the public web, you can assume it’s in some training data somewhere

They’re not forks, but we have piefed and mbin (fork of kbin) and a couple more that have shut down

It seems like every major microblogging platform has a few different flavors

Do you mean every major social media platform?

I suppose that’s true. And also deranged to do it on purpose

Ridin’ with Biden

Ok but that is actually a nonsensical statement. In no case will using threads and recursion reduce cpu usage

Google overpays quite a bit so they have a viable competitor to point to for chrome. If the payment tracked FF’s usage numbers it would be way lower now. It makes no financial sense for any other search engine to pay that much.

That’s assuming they could even afford it. Most can’t

The correct solution would have been for Mozilla to pursue alternative income a long time ago. Owning a browser gives you a lot of leverage. Instead they made a half-hearted attempt a few years back and half the products failed. I don’t know why FF fans were so comfortable holding them as the savior of the web when they were entirely funded by Google.

And now… well I don’t see a way forward either. Maybe it should just die then.

Yeah

*threadiverse, we don’t want to exclude other software

Wait first I’m hearing of this one. What happened now?

Hmm, like winget install blender?

Using computers with closed source biology. Classic.

I bet you haven’t even engineered your own DNA-II, fully-sequenced, libre-licensed microbiome with open source biochemical pathways. Are your eyes even running an open-source neural firmware, or are you just a FOSS poser?

always has been

The IP address is from the US though

I’m not European but isn’t Lemm.ee American?

wow. He never grew beyond 12 yrs old it seems. This is the same type of thinking that leads you to say that we should cull our elderly and disabled because they’re a drain on society. Or forceful eugenics. No wonder he’s also obsessed with the birth rate.

Is there a name for this? Narcissistic Hero syndrome?

True but he doesn’t need to. It’s the door in face technique

We can’t give them the boot for a good while. In the meantime, what would you have us do?
