He blew up innocent people with bombs and drones. He tortured people. I'd say he was indeed terrible.

Don't get me wrong: he was one of the better presidents that we've had, but that bar is embarrasingly low.

2 options:

1. Ask their users for money. It's a tried and true system that works for a lot of projects.
2. Stop spending their existing money on dumb things that nobody is asking for. A good start would be to cut out the CEO's pay.

Maybe the Democrats should prove the complainers wrong. The Democratic leadership has had plenty of opportunity to build trust amongst the voters, and decided to ignore them instead. They've spent years letting their voters down, which is why they aren't trusted.

My experience has been the opposite. I find a place on booking/priceline/$whatever, then I go to the hotel's website, and it's ~30% more expensive. I'd prefer to go directly through the hotel, but they keep charging me more, which never made sense to me.

They offered a genocidist, who campaigned with the Cheneys. Maybe next time, the Democrats could offer a candidate that the people actually want.

Have they considered just asking for money? Also getting rid of the giant holes that they keep pouring their money into?

A lot of people love Firefox, and would happily donate. They could also trim a lot of fat at Mozilla quite easily.

Sure, but can I spend money on just Firefox? or does it go to unrelated activities? I'm OK spending money on FF, I'm not OK paying for the CEO.

Does it? TIL I always thought it meant "official" or some such, but had no bearing on whether they were elected or not

"They already take in donations..."

Where can I dontate to Firefox? Not Mozilla, and not a fund that goes to CEO-pay or other expences, but straight to Firefox

And I can't say that I blame them. Biden's presidency... or his campaign... or Harris' campaign...

It was a shit-show all the way through. Maybe next time the Democrats should try catering to their voter base.

Does Firefox do reproducible builds? This bug report makes me think it doesn't (at least for Linux): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/...

But maybe they do for Windows/Apple/Android?

It was probably Chick Tracts: https://www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=0046

But that's not donating to Firefox, that's donating to Mozilla, which I don't want to do, because they seem to be wasting their money.

I seeing us everywhere. I'm not sure what your talking about

I feel like your missing that many people do see the Democrats as the bad guys, and I can't say that I blame them. We recently asked them to say "Genocide is bad, and we won't support it" and they wouldn't. They are the baddies

A rigged primary, where the voters weren't really given a choice. Voters were very vocal that they didn't want him to run again, and the leadership openly ignored them. Next time, maybe the leadership should listen to the base that they claim they represent.

"...you’re funding the foundation itself..."

But that's what I don't want. I don't care about the foundation, as it doesn't share my values.

"I’m sure if more people donated, they could actually be incentivized to make such an option available, but they barely get any donations compared to the revenue they make from the Google subsidy, so it’s just unreasonable to expect them to put in that additional effort, especially when the primary thing the vast majority of the money goes to is Firefox staff, development, and related server hosting anyways."

This is the problem though. How many people don't donate because, like me, they don't want to pay for a bloated CEO salary, or unrelated projects? I don't find it unreasonable at all, rather it would help them focus on what their base actually cares about. They have a lot of fat to cut, and this would point out where their resources should be spent, compared to how their resources are currently spent.

Are they going to make as much money from donations as Google gives them? no, but that's a good thing. It'll help them focus.

Honestly, I just block the people who keep repeating that kinds of BS. They aren't worth my mental energy.

Does that mean I miss out on a bunch of discussions on .world? yes, but not wasting my mental energy on bad-faith arguments is worth it.
