They get $510 million from Google in a single year. Even at a $200k salary, that&#39;s over 2500 devs that could be working on Firefox (and Thunderbird) development full-time. Surely that&#39;s enough? Especially if you don&#39;t keep shoveling on ads and AI &quot;features.&quot;</p>

<p>A thing that is *deeply* confusing to me about recent Mozilla Discourse is many people going &quot;well, of course they have to get money somehow&quot; in response to Mozilla doing things that have no obvious revenue source attached. There is no disclosed revenue stream from &quot;AI Chatbot&quot; and their claimed future plans for the feature sound actively hard to monetize. &quot;Ad Measurement&quot; is by design not directly monetizable. But these features are widely defended on grounds of the nonexistent revenue stream</p>

<p>(When we&#39;re discussing generative AI) Here is $150 billion for your project [ <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=openai+valuation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">google.com/search?q=openai+val</span><span class="invisible">uation</span></a> ], the society will simply give it to you, you will not be required to deliver a working product in exchange, you do not need to have a plan for future revenue</p><p>(When we&#39;re discussing a web browser, the most basic and essential piece of software for a computer) Well obviously there&#39;s no way to fund a software project other than embedding spyware in it, you must get over your open source naivete</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime" class="u-url mention">@<span>fasterthanlime</span></a></span> wonder when Windows&#39; HDR will not-suck enough to bother turning it on. It makes my monitor&#39;s plastic pop (gets juuust hot enough) and it kind of looks...worse, all in all</p>

<p>apple still leading the charge on HDR support in various places</p><p>of course google slides will remain the standard everywhere for a long time 🥲</p>
