A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Mozilla is kind of a mess, but part of that is it's actually a whole bunch of different companies all named Mozilla something or other. It's really easy to go down a rabbit hole of angry videos and articles that make it sound even worse than it actually is, but yeah, there's some nonsense going on. It's especially sad how little the main foundation seems to care about Firefox anymore.

MZLA Technologies, the company that runs Thunderbird, has kind of worked around the shenanigans of the main Mozilla Foundation by directly collecting donations from users that are specifically earmarked for work on Thunderbird. They're doing good work with a fairly safe funding model, so I don't worry about Thunderbird at all, personally.
