@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

#Mozilla Announce Leadership Changes, Plans to 'Diversify'
How? It will continue to invest in #privacy-respecting #advertising; fund, develop and push #opensource #AI features in order to retain ‘product relevance’; and will go all-out on novel new fundraising initiatives to, get us all to chip in and pay for it!
"Mozilla's impact and survival depend on us simultaneously strengthening #Firefox AND finding new sources of revenue AND manifesting our mission in fresh ways"

New app review on my website!

IronFox
★★★★☆

A privacy-hardened Firefox variation for Android, comparable to LibreWolf on desktops. Removes Mozilla tracking and services like Pocket. Locks down features that can leak data, but those changes can break some sites.

Bubbles completely fill the frame, the left side dark green and the right side bright yellowish-green. The boundaries between bubbles are the opposite: bright against the dark background, dark against the light one, though if you look carefully, they're the same medium colors against both.

Lol, I was right into thinking there was something "off" about #ZorinOS years ago when I was considering which #Linux distro to migrate away from #Windows. Shitty, reactionary decisions like this would turn me off so badly and seriously make me question their judgement in maintaining their distro. If they actually care about "privacy" and have issues with #Firefox (or rather, #Mozilla), something like #LibreWolf would've been a more natural choice rather than moving to a #Chromium based browser, as if #Google needs a stronger dominance in their web presence - let alone #Brave, one of the (objectively) shadiest options of them all.

I love #OpenStreetMap and I love #Mozilla but I do not understand what the strategy is here:

blog.mozilla.ai/map-features-i

It reads like looking for problems to apply AI to for "thought leadership" — and some ten years late at that.

OpenStreetMap has many players using machine learning; from big players to open source pipelines and models. It's not a technical problem to solve.

What are you doing Mozilla? Have you talked to anyone in the OpenStreetMap community?
