  • I dont think Mozilla makes degoogling hard. It is very easy to keep track of the changes and simply flip some switches.

    But it is of course ironic that their product is useless.

    People used Firefox because Internet Explorer sucked. Now they get ads for Chrome everywhere, have Android and whatnot devices, and Edge is working okay.

    People are using devices as appliances, they dont expect needing to repair something they bought new.


  • It really is crazy if you see the hype for the “sovereign tech fund” for GNOME, that was literally just 1mio€.

    It is so insane how people can waste so much money.

    When donating, nowadays I am often very certain that giving money to homeless people will always be better than giving it random “nonprofit” “charities” that will simply sustain their 1st world lifes as “operation expenses”.
