minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink-6•18 days agoOk it’s getting properly sus now. Mozilla goes into politics way too much
minus-square@Telorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilink22•18 days agoRead the article. They didn’t “get into” anything. They got told to take five add-ons down or face the wrath of a regime with a close relationship with defenestration, which they did only for Russians.
minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink-15•18 days agoDoesn’t matter. Politics is politics and always ends badly.
minus-square@Telorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilink12•18 days agoHence why they were forced to ultimately remove the requested add-ons. Doesn’t make Mozilla somehow bad because they chose not to die on this hill.
minus-square@ProgrammingSockslink10•18 days agoEvery major company does this, it just doesn’t make headlines. Plus I’m sure they know you can still install it outside of the store.

minus-square@ProgrammingSockslink1•18 days agoYou know as well as I do that Mozilla isn’t exactly a small community project. This isn’t a surprise to me.
minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink-3•18 days agoIt isn’t much of a surprise to me either. I heard of them jumping into politics and misusing donations in the past. But it doesn’t mean they’re good
