Webacy is a cryptocurrency wallet "technology layer" that "provides security features" like password backup, "digital wills", etc.

So we are doing AI and Crypto, but shutting down Mozilla.social?
Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

Jesus fucking Christ Mozilla..... You have one job.. Make a browser. Why the duck are you with Gary V, international man of stupidity.

I was about to say, can we do some crypto bullshit instead of improving the browser? Love this move for mozilla

My guess is the Google deal is running out soon, and they're desperately throwing shit against the wall, hoping something will stick.
I still think you should be able to make a decently working browser with the money Mozilla's CEO earns alone.

I'm trying to keep my faith in Mozilla, but fucking Gary Vee?????

Mozilla, as always, late to the party.
Crypto and NFT scam were a thing long ago.

So was this article :) Not that there ever was a party.
Luckily Firefox remained a fine browser throughout the crypto nonsense, so I'm hoping the same holds true when the next AI winter sets in.

Even back in 2023 this was all old stuff … NFT scam was a big thing in 2021 and the crypto hype was a thing around 2013-2018. It’s both still there, but no-one really cares anymore as far as I can tell.
They are already sinking millions into the AI hype :(

You all not only don’t read the article, the date published is right there in the URL

None of that addresses or explains why you posted an older article without noting the age of it.
And you do know how Mozilla Ventures is different from other parts of Mozilla, right?

Because when sharing anything, it’s important to provide the context of when it was published if it’s older? Especially when there are active and current discussions about a topic (ie governance of Mozilla) and someone could easily be confused about how recent an article is? Otherwise it could appear to be intentionally misleading, which I’m sure was not your intent.

OP I'm not going to even pretend I like where Mozilla is heading... but literally every post you've made is anti-Mozilla/Firefox. Not even trying to hide your agenda huh?
Seriously, fuck the executives running Mozilla into the ground. However, the amount of astroturfing and manufactured outrage I've seen recently has gotten out of control.

Calm down, I'm not attacking anyone here. Simply pointing out that literally every single post you've made on this account is bashing Mozilla. It is hard to take anyone seriously when they have such an obvious agenda on display.
I'm not going to waste my time on the content of an old news article being used as rage bait.
For what it is worth, I completely agree with your list of wants. However, if you are truly wanting those goals for Mozilla, I would have to say you are going about it in a particularly strange way.
