Tooting in Deutsch, English, español

Originally from Berlin, now back after 20 years abroad (ARG, UK, CH).

I like and care about:

Science, Math, IT, FOSS, parenting, fun, politics, books, 🏳️‍⚧️ things, music, film, cooking & food, some naughty stuff & much more.

What I most enjoy, is interaction with friendly people.

No DM please, unless we already know each other, or you have something important to tell!

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

    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.

    Wasn't by far my only point.

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

    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.

    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?

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

    I'm sorry.

    It was certainly never my intention to impose myself like an official channel or something like that.

    I still welcome a debate here.

    However: Revenue is a good thing. Being trusted by the community is infinitely more valuable.

    Yes and no.

    Obviously, the people questioned here, are not representative for the entire FF user community.

    However: The Fediverse at large is a community of mostly tech-savvy people, who do care about independence from major corporations.

    These are, in fact, also the people who are the core users and developers of FOSS software.

    Whilst the exact percentage means nothing, the tendency is so clear that it should, at least, be taken into consideration.

  • Fake Professionalism!

    I don't believe that CEOs, who demand a 7 digit salary, have the ability to understand the soul and heart of a collective of people (in the case of many #FOSS projects: some of the world's most skilled and talented programmers), who donate lots of their time and energy for a project they believe in, and hence lack the credibility and skills necessary for making them thrive in the long term.

    Firefox's ever falling market share proves that.
