Considering Windows is basically saying “we’re going to switch what we’ve always been and become an agenic OS, you will just talk to it and Microsoft Cloud will interpret your will (only $89 a month!)”, people are rightly scared about having all technology rug-pulled from under us.

Mozilla was one of the shining beacons of FOSS that allowed users choice and stability against corporate greed. Are you surprised that people are angry that they’re caving to the same toxic greedy behavior?

    They should be worried. It's pretty clear Mozilla's leadership has "AI fever" that every CEO seems to be going mad with.

    Still though, people need to take a breath. This isn't Microsoft. And Mozilla's "local first" approach is not bowing to Big Tech and the AI conmen like everyone else is (though the reality is that hardware isn't ready for stuff outside of lightweight tasks).
