I was about to say, can we do some crypto bullshit instead of improving the browser? Love this move for mozilla
You all not only don’t read the article, the date published is right there in the URL
There's already a thread regarding this article's age in this post
None of that addresses or explains why you posted an older article without noting the age of it.
And you do know how Mozilla Ventures is different from other parts of Mozilla, right?
Title changed. Can you explain your offense at not having [2023] in the title? Other people actually had a reason to complain, but you did not.
Because when sharing anything, it’s important to provide the context of when it was published if it’s older? Especially when there are active and current discussions about a topic (ie governance of Mozilla) and someone could easily be confused about how recent an article is? Otherwise it could appear to be intentionally misleading, which I’m sure was not your intent.
Touche.
My guess is the Google deal is running out soon, and they're desperately throwing shit against the wall, hoping something will stick.
I still think you should be able to make a decently working browser with the money Mozilla's CEO earns alone.
EASILY!

So we are doing AI and Crypto, but shutting down Mozilla.social?
Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

Mozilla genuinely believes that this company follows the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. At least, according to what Mozilla.vc says on its homepage.

Jesus fucking Christ Mozilla..... You have one job.. Make a browser. Why the duck are you with Gary V, international man of stupidity.
I'm trying to keep my faith in Mozilla, but fucking Gary Vee?????
Why would firefox deal with a known scammer?
I guess at the end of the day all of these entrepreneur are scammers.
Mozilla, as always, late to the party.
Crypto and NFT scam were a thing long ago.
Crypto and NFT scam were a thing long ago.
So was this article :) Not that there ever was a party.
Luckily Firefox remained a fine browser throughout the crypto nonsense, so I'm hoping the same holds true when the next AI winter sets in.
Even back in 2023 this was all old stuff … NFT scam was a big thing in 2021 and the crypto hype was a thing around 2013-2018. It’s both still there, but no-one really cares anymore as far as I can tell.
so I’m hoping the same holds true when the next AI winter sets in.
They are already sinking millions into the AI hype :(
Mozilla purchased FakeSpot back in May 2023, and at the time, I sounded the alarm because of the dubious privacy policy they imported without changing.
People told me to Wait and See. And I waited, and Mozilla never changed it.
Unfortunately, if you Wait and See for too long, things apparently become Too Old Too Matter.
