If you're here, there's still hope for the internet

Don't let it fall

  • I still see active accounts over a decade old

  • There are some real clips mixed in there

  • Lol if Google really wanted to kill FF they would just stop paying them half a billion a year.

  • They are already training on the fediverse. If something is on the public web, you can assume it's in some training data somewhere

  • They're not forks, but we have piefed and mbin (fork of kbin) and a couple more that have shut down

  • This is true, I am generalizing based on results I have confirmed. But I have no reason to think it might be otherwise for other fields

  • Google overpays quite a bit so they have a viable competitor to point to for chrome. If the payment tracked FF's usage numbers it would be way lower now. It makes no financial sense for any other search engine to pay that much.

  • The correct solution would have been for Mozilla to pursue alternative income a long time ago. Owning a browser gives you a lot of leverage. Instead they made a half-hearted attempt a few years back and half the products failed. I don't know why FF fans were so comfortable holding them as the savior of the web when they were entirely funded by Google.

    And now... well I don't see a way forward either. Maybe it should just die then.

  • Yeah

  • *threadiverse, we don't want to exclude other software

  • Wait first I'm hearing of this one. What happened now?

  • always has been
