It still wastes too much "free money" from Google on useless outreach and slop features instead of catching up to web standards, I am fed up of Bugzilla reports being ignored, it's no good pointing them out here because Mozilla would have fixed the bugs long ago if they actually read their own Bugzilla instead.

I've pointed out again and again that Mozilla is too dependent on ublock origin while at the same time stuffing their browser with advertising instead of using their donation budget properly. I call them Mo$illa for a reason. As soon as Ladybird and Servo are out of beta most remaining Firefox users will dump Gecko for more web tech focused engines instead.

Mozilla is due for an Xfree86/Xlibre type rebellion, and I'm not afraid to say that because much of the open source world is changing with many new devs coming in because of Microsoft ruining Windows and with legacy code being rewritten faster then ever now. Mozilla is history now, Phoenix was 24 years ago, it's long due for another rebirth.

A whole generation was put off coding because they thought they would be replaced with cheap labour. Now even the outsourced labour is getting replaced. I hope Microsoft drowns in their own AI slop, as soon as gaming companies stop being paranoid over anti cheat Microsoft won't have any skin in the consumer market anymore.

Microsoft has 4 trillion of ill gotten market cap while there is massive homelessness in Silicon Valley and Washington, they are simply evil.

Time to get some goodwill and market share and officially support Linux with Xbox games. You can't use the "no demand" excuse anymore when Linux has more users than MacOS on Steam.

I miss Slashdot troll culture, but but most of the trolls already moved on and the people remaining on Slashdot are just tired of the whole tech industry and use Slashdot as a bunker away from the madness on the rest of the internet. Slashdot has COBOL syndrome now and is on managed decline.

Mozilla basically created their own competitor with Servo, and Ladybird is also getting a lot of sponsorship. Then there is the whole ecosystem of Firefox derivatives like Zen, Waterfox, Seamonkey and Pale Moon. The whole battle for "human-based" browsing vs "ai-assisted" browsing is also causing a rift in the internet's culture. Then there are vertical tabs that is causing people to browse more websites at once since it makes "tab hoarding" easier. Mozilla still has an opportunity to make a comeback but it Mozilla has to realise that Firefox has its origins in being the "web enthusiasts' browser". and if you lose the geeks then you don't have an organic marketing base only shill based marketing.

I used Firefox for around 20 years before switching to other browsers. If Firefox actually listens to real criticism and genuinely improves then it might make a comeback. And then there is the "ublock origin problem", many people are using Firefox solely for ublock origin and don't actually care about the rest of the web browser tech tree.

Stop this whole application charade and just give people jobs. We got the the degree, now give us the job. If our degree isn't good enough than raise your complaint to the colleges.

For keeping material, often libellous and privacy violating that should be deleted. All respectable parts of the internet shouldn't use shady archive services. Legitimate archives obey takedown requests. The creator of the archive.xx service used spamming and co-operated with trolls to try and force it into Wikipedia, I'm glad they are finally cracking down as they created more disruption than vandals. I hope the archive services finally gets their data centers seized for all the disruption that they have caused.

Minecraft was literally a 4chan creation. The fact Microsoft covered it up tried to kiddify it afterwords shows you they are embarrassed of its origins.. If you knew how much influence 4chan has over a large range of things you would be sick. Most of Slashdot's old trolls moved to 4chan and other dark web sites too.

Now who gets to design Wall-E? With all the Microplastics and illegal waste dumps from excessive consumption we better make them use their AIs to clean it all up.

Microsoft and Apple can't be trusted to not bloat their OS with untested AI bloatware like CortanaClippyPilotBobSiri, Mandate that if companies want to work with the EU they need to disclose all their business practices and legislate out enshittificatuon and unvetted AI output that doesn't have a human in the loop.

Linux needs to be treated like public civil engineering at this point, as private companies shouldn't be beta testing on the public. AI is the asbestos of the internet at this point, just shut this shit down.

Yes this is a rant, but Microslop is wasting trillions of dollars on AI garbage.

Put a desktop distro on an old Laptop and you no longer have to worry about TPM or CPU requirements and arbitrary end of support deadlines. And yes Linux will support you beyond 2032 unlike so called "LTSC" versions of Microsoft OSes.

Just remember, if a company doesn't support Linux it means they like abusing you with enshittification. Stop worrying about the year of the Linux desktop, and instead think about the year the Windows desktop abandons you.

Millions of webmasters have had their servers vandalized by AI companies, and then all the wholesale book destruction. Now they are getting a taste of their own medicine it's not so nice is it.

Next they will be interrogating humans in torture chambers to train their models. I'm calling it now.

And pay all the server bills for all the sites you scraped plus lost ad revenue compensation. Then pay UBI for all the employees that got laid off to AI.

Now everyone has moved to Wayland sell the old domain to a mad billionaire instead.

At least AI gives you funny pictures. At least Windows 11 gives you free 5GB of one drive space, At least Wikipedia gives you a college level education for free even if biased and easily vandalised. And those three were my other contenders for worst 21st century inventions. Yes fiat economics has its issues but if hyperinflation happens you can just cut the zeros and reboot the currency, but with Bitcoin and other cryptos you are dealing with the worst of society to do things that are illegal for good reasons.

Bitcoin is "My little pony" economics and should be laughed at and that its followers need to be given embarrassing punishments.
