In September 2023, Steve Teixeira was the respected and successful Chief Product Officer of Mozilla Corporation and poised to become Mozilla Corporation’s next CEO. But on October 3, 2023, he was diagnosed with ocular melanoma and soon went on a 90 day medical leave for treatment. Immediately upon his return, Mozilla campaigned to demote or terminate Mr. Teixeira citing groundless concerns and assumptions about his capabilities as an individual living with cancer. Interim Chief Executive Officer Laura Chambers and Chief People Officer Dani Chehak were clear with Mr. Teixeira: he could not continue as Chief Product Officer and could not continue as a Mozilia employee in any capacity beyond 2024—because of his diagnosis. When Mr. Teixeira opposed this discriminatory action, Mozilla responded by unilaterally placing him on indefinite administrative leave, effectively disappearing both Mr. Teixeira and his complaints of discrimination. Mozilla has discriminated and retaliated against Mr. Teixeira in violation of the Washington Law Against Discrimination. Mozilla has also unlawfully shared his personal health information, and unlawfully sought to gag his speech about illegal discrimination and retaliation.

My Microsoft 365 subscription is expiring and will not be renewed thanks to you lovely people getting me on the Proton family of software and obsidian for note taking.

I mean... Why would you ditch a service you evidently NEED just because some stranger on the internet told you so?

That said, there's plenty of offline programs that can work on .dock files, such as OnlyOffice and LIbreoffice (with varying degrees of compatibility with existing files). Good luck!

It's odd to me how this articleis being silenced/removed or downplayed by the entire tech community. It looks like people sinerely believe tha Mozilla can't do no wrong or that Mozilla is above any judgment while other entities are being systematically (and hypocritically) attacked for personal matters (e.g., Brave's CEO).

The author may be a right-wing fellow. Nonetheless, the data he exposes are taken from official Mozilla docs.

I understand. I just feel it's quite arrogant ans annoying to be (indirectly) schooled by strangers on the internet who think they know better.

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

I won't prevent anyone from using FF, either. I just think that the "obligatory use Firefox" is quite arrogant, to say the least. And, to be honest, I'm quite happy it's not going to happen until FF is managed by Mozilla and their poor choices.

The ceo raising his salary is a problem for you

It's not for me (anymore). It should be for you. She was raising her salary while firing devs... But whatever. Mozillians are seldom rational.

Someone just insulted me and called me "alt-right" person or "crypto bro" (I'm neither of both). So, do you really think that I'm the pathetic one?

And... Which "claims", by the way? I just said that I'm annoyed by people telling me "I should" do something and that I'll decide by myself. Full stop. Coherently, I'm not giving you alternatives nor have I to disclose anything.

Sometimes it looks like one has to apologize for using Brave or Vivaldi or any other shit that didn't come out from Mozilla's ass. Keep using FF if this makes you happy. It made me happy for 20 years, but then I got fed up by 1) Mozilla, 2) Mozilla's community 3) The browser itself.

Don't worry. One day Mozillians will receive a reality bath and realise the farce they have supported.

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Cool. On my part I, as a non crypto-bro, don't want to be friends with stupid people. So, I'll ignore you from now on.

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Keep being delusional, It's free, after all.

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Nice detective skills. I have the opposite view about Brave/Mozilla. But fine, we can agree to disagree and still be (virtual) friends.

I didn't know I was so evil that I'm doing the world a worse place just because I prefer a different browser. And I'm ideologically far form alt-right, btw.

OTOH, talking about corporate greed:

Just disable score in your profile settings, man. That's what I did. Score has no point, really. If someone disagrees with you, they can either ignore you or expose their reasoning. Votes are useless.

By default? I think so.

https://privacytests.org/

(these test are done with browsers at their defaults). Librewolf is on par with Brave, but I vehemently hate its interface and refuse to unfuck it wasting my time on CSS.

I'm on Brave as well since 2021, after almost 20 years of being an avid FF user and supporter. I don't like how FF is evolving and what Mozilla is doing and I don't buy the "Chromium domination" argument. If the sole reason to use FF is that "it is not Chromium", well, the developers aren't doing a great job.

However, let's be real: privacy on a browser matters until you go to whatever website that track you on the server side (Google/Facebook/Youtube/Whatever), or when you write an email from from you Gmail account, or when you buy stuff on Amazon... And so on. Just use the browser that works best for you and don't be paranoid.
