    That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

    I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution





  • Orwell - "the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

    Huxley - “the perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would be basically a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”

    I would agree






  • The CEOs salary has almost zero affect on Firefox’s market share.

    That decline can be explained relatively simply by two things.

    One, people are increasing using mobile devices and very very rarely do they install another browser so they are using Chrome on Android and Safari on Apple devices.

    Two, Google was/is using Google dot com to promote chrome. That is not something Mozilla could ever replicate.

    Then there is the other bit where Mozilla tries to diversify their revenue sources and the faithful skewer them for it and tell them “just work on Firefox” when it is clear the market is unwilling to pay for a browser at all.
