K900 | I did that and typed in "BUILD A FUCKING BROWSER" | 09:09:58 |
K900 | I'm sorry to whatever marketing intern has to read this | 09:10:18 |
K900 | But such is life | 09:10:39 |
hexa | happens | 09:12:01 |
vcunat | You first need a nontrivial market share to have a real say in standards. | 09:12:15 |
hexa | of course | 09:12:45 |
vcunat | (or at least some other form of influence) | 09:12:48 |

nbp | In reply to @k900:0upti.me I love how "build a fucking browser" isn't even an option I will note that the foundation never built any browser, only the corporation. On the other hand I will echo some recent articles titles: “Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% staff, drops advocacy division” | 10:53:07 |
K900 | In reply to @nbp:mozilla.org I will note that the foundation never built any browser, only the corporation. On the other hand I will echo some recent articles titles: “Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% staff, drops advocacy division” The foundation does own the corporation though, no? | 10:53:43 |
vcunat | Either way, I get that it's easy for people to conflate their activities, as it's all "Mozilla". | 10:54:47 |
emily | I think the corporation is maybe meant to be operationally independent or something? | 10:54:49 |
emily | I don't know, it's confusing. | 10:54:57 |
nbp | Yes, the foundation own the corporation, but it only decide of the top-level directions, as being part of the board, but not on the product features for example. | 10:57:14 |
emily | is the corporation or the foundation the one that Google pays? | 10:58:40 |
nbp | What this survey highlight to me is: “please validate our confirmation biais, please select the A and I options.” | 10:58:43 |
emily | I suppose the former? | 10:58:46 |
nbp | Google pays the Corporation, for making room in the browser UI and redirecting people to them. | 10:59:27 |
