This is actually, how I understood it.

I wanted to watch the series again, anyway. It's been a time.

As I remember it, they left it rather ambiguous, which is the actual point.

If moral choices were easy, we wouldn't have to think about them too much.

Yes, the virus ended the war, but at what price?

@toast

I mean, in DS9, section 31 were clearly villains, right?

Not heroes in the shadow. This is what they told themselves in order to justify their shit.

Kurzfristig spart Open Source natürlich tatsächlich kein Geld, aber langfristig ohne Ende durch die Befreiung aus Abhängigkeit.

Allein: Wer in der Politik (oder auch in Unternehmen) will schon langfristig denken?

You did not read the entire post you first replied to, did you?

@CrypticCoffee

I wonder, how increasing CEO pay year by year worked out for them.

Certainly, definitely not in growing the user base, but also not in revenue that would make up it.

@CrypticCoffee

Wasn't by far my only point.

However: Making a commitment and then pulling back, is a statement.

@morrowind

Exactly! Mozilla wants people to know, they don't give a shit.

A few years of party for executives are still possible, and just before Firefox and Thunderbird go into oblivion, quickly into a new management position at an ai company (or whatever may be the hype, then).

Mark my words!

Running a simple Mastodon server is not a big thing.

Setting up a resilient big instance, like Vivaldi does, requires commitment.

I am definitely starting to hate #Mozilla.

As a remark: I have always been fine with their deal with Pocket and having Google as their default search engine. In the end, there are bills to be paid.

Until I learned that e.g. Mozilla Corporation's CEO is on a multi-million dollar salary, and they're hiring ai and ad people.

Not OK for an entity where many highly skilled people code for free.

It's not what users want the cash to be spent on.

Leaving the Fedi is the final drop

@Buddahriffic

Same!

But isn't it a bit sad, we've all become so paranoic whilst at the same time being total oblivious to sharing lots of data, just because we want to know what the kitten did to the alligator?

@Buddahriffic

Yes, It was easier to do truly representative polls, when people loved answering questions and everybody had a landline.
