I didn’t gloss over it as acceptable, I said it’s standard and if anything low for the industry. It’s weird to single them out and shit on them. Not to mention completely irrelevant to this discussion.

No, you don’t want Mozilla to thrive, because you’re getting angry at them for wanting to diversify, which they need to do if they don’t want to die.

You want them to abandon their income. Guess what? Without that they’re dead. So what’s your solution?

This isn’t some fantasy land where the magic fairies can work on Firefox out of the goodness of their hearts while we all frolic in flowery fields. Firefox needs to pay their staff and you’re saying they need to cut off all funding and stop trying to find alternative revenue streams.

  I like how you assume Mozilla must do the absolute worst things possible in order to continue existing.
  
  I like how you assume I assume that. I’ve never said anything of the sort. You’re just making up rubbish.
  
  All I said was that Mozilla needs to diversify and that throwing away their needed income will kill them. It’s insane you think otherwise.
  
  In other words, you don’t really care what happens to Firefox or its users.
  
  More making stuff up. I do care about them. That’s why I don’t want Mozilla to die, which they will if they follow your insane plan of just continuing what they’re doing now, only without any funding coming in.
  
  All you care about is the CEO, who you have to call “staff.”
  
  Ffs, stop making stuff up. When I say staff, I mean staff. I don’t mean the CEO. That’s why I said staff. When I say staff I mean staff and when I say CEO I mean CEO.
  
  Mozilla staff will not work for free. If Mozilla killed off their income, staff will not work for them.
  
  You may not realise this, but Firefox and other offerings require people working on them. It doesn’t get worked on overnight by magical pixies. It gets worked on by people who expect to be paid for their work. I don’t get why this is such a hard concept for you?
