It's better to treat incompetence as maliciousness, than to treat maliciousness as incompetence.
The benefit of the doubt should only apply in the absence of a longstanding pattern of behavior to the contrary.
IMO Mozilla has run out of goodwill.
Instead of the concept of a worker run monopoly, we'll get a literal corporate fascist dictatorship... Yay?
And they've almost certainly only released this due to the upcoming EU laws related to user replaceable batteries and wider right to repair.
Apple isn't doing this because they grew a conscience. They're doing it because it's a legal requirement they can't lobby (bribe) their way out of.
Never forget. Corporations are not your friend, and never will be.
The state IS the corpos. We don't have democracies. We have corporate plutocracies — where the Venn diagram between the most powerful individuals and corporations is basically a circle.
