I am sad to see the layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla plays an important role on the Internet. I may not always agree with the choices they make, but they still play an important role.

@jon@vivaldi.net If only Mozilla spent their billion dollars in assets actually developing Firefox and Thunderbird instead of AI and political advocacy. In the field of politics, persuing technological advancement first can do a lot more than asking permission later.

Wrong Mozilla. This is about the foundation, not the corporation.

@Carighan The Mozilla Foundation and the Mozilla Corporations are so intertwined that they can be thought of as a single entity.

@jon@vivaldi.net Mozilla plays important role and I hope they'll keep on with their mission, however I still don't understand what happens with tens of millions in revenue for the foundation and hundreds of millions for the corporation.

@jon@vivaldi.net So am I, but I have really been expecting more layoffs than what most realize and expected.

@jon@vivaldi.net Without Google FF would not exist... it plays a role but not by its own merit.
