I have zero confidence left in Mozilla's leadership.

I have zero confidence left in Mozilla's leadership. In fact, here's a bold prediction: the Thunderbird team (operating under the wholly owned subsidiary known as MZLA) will be more profitable within 5 years than Mozilla Corporation. Yes, that same dying product Mozilla abandoned in 2012. The one the COMMUNITY kept alive and the one that is now thriving.
Eventually Mozilla will approach MZLA begging them to come back...
(Note that I'm saying this as someone no longer employed there.)

@killyourfm It's becoming difficult to separate my favorite web browser from the serial foot-shooter that develops it...

One of the weirdest disconnects happened a few months ago when I received a Mozilla Foundation newsletter about the evils of big corporations building unethical AI. It was a donation appeal so they could gear up to "fight" against companies like OpenAI.
This doesn't seem strange until you consider that Mozilla is currently paying a ChatGPT Enterprise license for all ~1000 of its employees. And encouraging them to use it for productivity, brainstorming, & code.
Yea, it didn't sit well. At all.

@killyourfm In light of their sidebar to integrate AI into the browser, too.

@tamitha Yyyyyeeea. What about Mozilla.ai? Why not include your own product in there? That was my first thought, anyway.
VERY LOUD DISCONNECTS. -

@killyourfm Roughly how much of their free $400 million from Google is going directly into ChatGPT?

@serebit I'm not aware of the specific financials, honestly.
