Comment on Mozilla is going to shut down their Mastodon instance

  My understanding is that they are focusing on adding in “AI” features in a big way, and that’s why they cut development on the other work. 🫤

    Fuck AI too. No one wants that garbage. I hate that everything has a chatbot now

      There’s already AI in firefox: The integrated translator. From what I’ve heard they’re looking into ingesting browsing history locally so that you can find stuff again easier.

        What do you mean ingesting browsing history locally? For AI? I don’t want that. But I’d interested in your opinion and explanation though!

  But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

    Kagi is making some money despite Google existing. I’m not sure if it would be enough for mozilla, but Kagi is making a profit now.

    Sadly, both of these companies still depend on Google.

      Kagi is no better than Mozilla though. They even bought a T-shirt factory lol d-shoot.net/kagi.html

  I wanted some of their side projects. Their web-things iot automation controller (and related standards) was pretty sweet. Until they spun it off into its own company without any staff.

  I hope thats what they will do but i very much doubt it. Looking at her track record she has no good intemtions with mozilla.

    They’re going to continue chasing the AI trend right up until the bubble bursts. At which point they’ll continue wasting money on the next big trend, assuming that the bubble bursting doesn’t kill Mozilla in the process.
