He blew up innocent people with bombs and drones. He tortured people. I’d say he was indeed terrible.

Don’t get me wrong: he was one of the better presidents that we’ve had, but that bar is embarrasingly low.

It works great. I never open a browser to search for mail: http://mutt.postle.net/searching/

Copying is Not Theft

Install Ganeti, or K3s, and do a lot of things!

Yeah, you were clear. I thought I was being clear when I said that I don’t want to fund the “open web” as Mozilla defines it. I only want to fund Firefox development.

“…you’re funding the foundation itself…”

But that’s what I don’t want. I don’t care about the foundation, as it doesn’t share my values.

“I’m sure if more people donated, they could actually be incentivized to make such an option available, but they barely get any donations compared to the revenue they make from the Google subsidy, so it’s just unreasonable to expect them to put in that additional effort, especially when the primary thing the vast majority of the money goes to is Firefox staff, development, and related server hosting anyways.”

This is the problem though. How many people don’t donate because, like me, they don’t want to pay for a bloated CEO salary, or unrelated projects? I don’t find it unreasonable at all, rather it would help them focus on what their base actually cares about. They have a lot of fat to cut, and this would point out where their resources should be spent, compared to how their resources are currently spent.

Are they going to make as much money from donations as Google gives them? no, but that’s a good thing. It’ll help them focus.

I feel like my point was pretty clear, but to spell it out: Mozilla is mis-managing their resources. I want to make sure the resources that I give to them only go towards what I consider to be worthwhile projects.

But I don’t want to donate to the “open internet” or the non-profit, I want to donate directly to Firefox. How can I ensure that the money I spend gets spent on that and only that?

But that’s not donating to Firefox, that’s donating to Mozilla, which I don’t want to do, because they seem to be wasting their money.

Yeah, donations. And yes, more cost-cutting measures. They need both, to gain more revenue, and to cut costs. They seem pretty bloated to me.

Sure, but can I spend money on just Firefox? or does it go to unrelated activities? I’m OK spending money on FF, I’m not OK paying for the CEO.

“They already take in donations…”

Where can I dontate to Firefox? Not Mozilla, and not a fund that goes to CEO-pay or other expences, but straight to Firefox

2 options:

1. Ask their users for money. It’s a tried and true system that works for a lot of projects.
2. Stop spending their existing money on dumb things that nobody is asking for. A good start would be to cut out the CEO’s pay.

You can, but the last time I did that the instructions were incomplete, and you still had to auth through Mozilla. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed since then.

I feel that “a functioning healthcare system that doesn’t bankrupt people”, or “lets not light the planet on fire”, or “lets make housing affordable”, or “genocide is bad” aren’t really huge requests. They seem like basic goals that any political leader should be able to shoot for. I guess I don’t feel like those are anywhere near approaching “perfectionism”.
