TLDR: The Mozilla Corporation claims to run on user donations, while official records prove they actually make so much money from web search defaults that if all user donations stopped, they’d be fine. The Mozilla Corporation spends it’s money on political activism companies or vague and shadowy companies that very little public information can be found on.
This entire article reads as a clear hit piece on Mozilla.
The fact that Mozilla spends money on political activism and companies involved in things akin to that isn’t some big revelation like the article makes it out to be.
It’s literally on Mozilla’s website in great detail with the overarching goal of a free and open internet, which in the majority of countries requires political activism.
Ridiculous frankly
Yea not much of this is surprising. They’re pretty transparent about where they put their money so trying to spin it as something more sinister is amusing.
But when the author puts “white people” in quotes it quickly becomes clear what this is about. He seems more upset they spend a few hundred thousand (out of over a billion?) on DEI training for their employees.
I was thinking along the same line. Something is really weird about this. Maybe someone who actually has a horse in that race can shed light on it.
One thing that does spike my interest is if right-wing, white, cis, male people are in fact more susceptible to this kind of language.
Someone who actually reads scientific journals would be immediately thrown off by the language.
Cringe article. While I agree that CEO pay is ridiculous, this is hardly a Mozilla only issue. And yes, Google is dominating tech, even paying Mozilla big sums. I just don’t get why the author is so pissed about their political budget. Guess what, people who fight for a free and open internet are usually leftists and leftist organizations. Shocking. Who could have known. I don’t even want to imagine how the author comes to the conclusion that this is some big conspiracy but I think we all know what political spectrum that guy belongs to.
Why are people spamming this multiple times per day?
Oh no the scary left wing people are trying to treat each other better. Why does that bother the right wing so much?
overall expenses went way (way) down. By roughly $100 Million. With the deepest cuts being focused in “Software development”.
Am I stupid or the author? The software development expenses went up by 40 million. That’s what the table says right there. What a pile of trash.
He’s a dumbass
2021 is the column on the left, 2020 is the column on the right. The author is correct (factually; conclusionally I’m less sure.)
