Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

If Mozilla implementing "AI" (or machine learning) to localise language models and translations, then I'm all for it.

If Mozilla moves closer to SaaS, I'm jumping ship to another browser, preferably one that's not based on WebKit or Blink.

However, despite the loud cries of cynics, the jaded and haters alike (or the "realists"), I'm still optimistic about the future.

If this restructuring means Mozilla more quickly qualify for funding because they localise training models and open source it all, then I'd say Mozilla is a threat to the likes of Microsoft - and that's a good thing.
