That excess deaths number is the total for all above-ground nuclear bomb tests ever done combined.

TRRRRRRRRRRRRS

They wasted all their former might far before that. There’s a reason the leading cause of death for young men in Russia is alcoholism. The people have no hope and no future while Putin lives.

Read your own link, dipshit.

The Mozilla Foundation will ultimately control the activities of the Mozilla Corporation and will retain its 100 percent ownership of the new subsidiary. Any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation will be invested back into the Mozilla project. There will be no shareholders, no stock options will be issued and no dividends will be paid. The Mozilla Corporation will not be floating on the stock market and it will be impossible for any company to take over or buy a stake in the subsidiary. The Mozilla Foundation will continue to own the Mozilla trademarks and other intellectual property and will license them to the Mozilla Corporation. The Foundation will also continue to govern the source code repository and control who is allowed to check in.[7]

Yes, please continue to shout about how the nonprofit company that gives you open source software for free is ruining your life by making a feature of a product that you are not obligated to use in the first place opt out instead of opt in lol

Hopefully you live outdoors then.

I comprehended it just fine, doesn’t change the fact that yes, it really is that simple. If you don’t like what a company is doing, don’t use their products. It’s not “legitimizing bad behavior”, it’s communicating with the company in the only language that a company that isn’t charging you for their product could possibly understand: market share. Nobody at Mozilla gives a shit about what some tiny niche fraction of their userbase is bitching about on Lemmy, they give a shit about whether or not they’re getting stomped into the dirt by chrome.

You guys are just having a giant, meaningless circlejerk.

Yeah but then you’ll miss the part where the female protagonist rationalizes herself into being ok with getting raped because the man was stronger than her so he had the right to do it.

Actually I might be thinking of atlas shrugged now that I think about it.

I’ll be sure to add any future comments as new replies in order to maintain compliance with your imaginary rules that wouldn’t matter even if they were real lol

Ok, so stop using their product.

There’s no trick to it. If you don’t agree with the terms of service, feel free to not use the product. There’s dozens of other free web browsers out there if you think you can find a better one.

If me being an asshole to other assholes makes those assholes think I’m an asshole, I guess me being fine with it instead of doubling down and pretending like there’s only one asshole in the room is the only thing that sets me apart lol

I didn’t say anything rude to anybody until people started coming my way with hostile smartass comments. Life is too short to be nice to assholes anyway.

And I am perfectly fine with that. Beats being yet another internet slacktivist bitching about how the shit they’re being given for free isn’t good enough.

Because it came up in my feed and I felt like commenting? Do I need a better reason? I’m not protecting anybody, I’m just pointing out basic shit about how the world works lol.

Mozilla is free. And like any other service on the internet, when it’s free you are the product. This is internet 101 shit. If you have a problem with that, uninstall the program and move on with your life. I just used tor as an example because you all seem to be incredibly worried about the privacy you get from a free program lol. If you want maximum privacy without spending any money, that’s what you should be using

Yes…the multimillion dollar…open source…non-profit…company…

By all means, go screaming your discontent to every corner of the internet. Let me know what that accomplishes for you.

You can bitch about shit outside of your control or you can deal with it and move on with your life. Your choice.

Better yet, put your money that you didn’t spend on Mozilla where your mouth is, grab the free source code to Firefox that literally everybody has access to, and make your own web browser that works however you think it ought to.

Of, you could go use Tor if you’re so addicted to that “shit-quality browser that nobody outside of dark web users puts any work into because they’re the only people that make any money off it” vibe

You explicitly gave them permission to do so when you agreed to the EULA at the time you downloaded it. If you have a problem with that, feel free to delete Mozilla and move on with your life. Mozilla doesn’t owe you anything.

Ah right, makes sense. I take it you read the EULA in its entirety before you ever downloaded Mozilla in the first place? Because if you didn’t, you missed the part where you gave them permission to do exactly that.

What’s the point of making it opt in when only the most paranoid users are going to be concerned enough about this to opt out

“We came out with this new feature to help us improve our product, but we’re deliberately kneecapping it on day one by making it opt-in” lol

If you are that paranoid about your data just go use Tor through a vpn already
