This post from @anildash.com perfectly encapsulates the disconnect in the discussion of AI.

Plenty of real people get value from interacting with LLMs. We can't afford to cede this technology to Profit-at-all-costs Big Tech.

They grow up so fast 😁

There's definitely nothing shady in these algorithms... 🤣

Europe can lead the way on using open source. By supporting open source software, these projects become a better public good for all. That's the type of thing all governments should be doing.

Look right there... It's @thunderbird.net !

On November 9, 2004, Mozilla Corporation released a multiplatform web browser, Firefox 1.0.

Firefox gained major popularity among users and exceeded 1 billion downloads between 2004 and 2009.

At Mozilla we make tech that puts people before profit. We make tech that is designed to help people live better lives. We make tech that is GOOD.

If you use products and services from companies that actively undermine what you value - can you truly claim to value those things? It's a hard question, but we live in a time where choices abound. Choose to live your principles.

"Perhaps our task is to imagine other ways of being human - that reflect our deep-seated interdependence as people and planet."

Do something good for someone today. 👍

Our users aren't the product, they are our partners.

Remember way back when the Web felt hopeful, and we all thought tech would bring us together in a beautiful deeply connected future? Turned out a little different, didn't it?

Tech now seems cynical and bleak. But we can choose tech that is both good and good for us.

We believe the future of technology can be good.

That’s why Mozilla Foundation is building a better technology future. One built with care, powered by people, open by design.

But we can’t do it alone.

Join us and let’s make some good.

Most mainstream tech is the “fast‑food” of the digital world. Did you know you can choose farm‑fresh, open‑source alternatives that respect your data and the internet ecosystem?

Start making the healthy choice today.

Getting closer to releasing Thundermail, Thunderbird Appointment and Thunderbird Send to the world.

Built on open source and open standards - we're working to make a suite of tools that help people break their reliance on big tech (think Microsoft O365 and Gmail).

Looking forward to sharing more.

@mayorq.bsky.social rode the Streetcar from the Plaza to Union Station yesterday with the family. It was awesome. Proud to have such awesome, free, public transportation in my city. When are we taking it down to Waldo?

We need to make sure AI belongs to all of us, not just a few big companies.

All the speed, power, and customization of Thunderbird in a short and sweet video perfect for viewing (and sharing) on your phone. Help us spread the word to bring Thunderbird everywhere! Thanks again to @freehive.com for their amazing work.

The beginning of Mozilla, for those of you who haven't ever seen this before, it's a snapshot of a really interesting moment in the history of #opensource software.
