  Even with this change, I’m not sure their argument makes sense. What part of the CCOA’s definition of “sale of data” precludes them from using it is beyond me. The definition is clear about ending with “…for monetary or other valuable consideration”. So what consideration is Mozilla getting for transferring data to web servers?

  I understand funding a large project like Firefox is hard. But they also have some of the most hardcore fans tech has seen. Kagi has shown that users are willing to pay (I myself use their $10/mo plan). So why can Mozilla not attempt this? A lot of us donate to Mozilla Foundation–where does that money go? How much goes to Firefox?

  The ToU is in Mozilla’s Bedrock repo, but I don’t quite know what that repo does. I’m curious if Firefox forks would still be subject to it.

  Yeah. Part of what I get for paying is the Bridge app so I can use Thunderbird instead of the website. I don’t want or need the LLM thing.

  Is this the guy who ate an airplane?

  Yeah, quite frankly I watch so much that it’s just worth it. I don’t use other streaming services, so it’s fine for me.

  Zelda games have a neat scaling mechanism. If an idiot like me could beat the final boss in a couple tries, anyone can. And it’s super fun too.
