Perhaps, but since they’re prohibitively expensive we aren’t buying enough of them.

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as “a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom”. There’s no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.
You may want to educate yourself before spreading unnecessary FUD. Firefox is free and open source, and always has been. There’s no danger in Firefox becoming a paid browser because even if they tried, it would just be forked and maintained by another community or group.
Mozilla does have a for-profit arm called the Mozilla Corporation, and they manage the money received from Google and others. But that doesn’t mean Firefox is going to become paid even if Google gets broken up by the antitrust efforts of the US government.

Yeah this surprised me. Is NFC payment not common in India?
Hard to explain without experiencing it. Once you have an amazing bagel, you’ll know.
Whatever you do, don’t find massgravel’s GitHub and run the PowerShell script (this is sarcasm btw)
Her account was likely compromised. It wouldn’t be possible to say how without more info. Could have been that her password was hacked (guessed), or could have been that her session was cookie hijacked where they wouldn’t have had to exploit the password.
I don’t know if IG has 2 factor authentication, but that could be something to look into. Also ensure the new password is not dictionary based. Use a password manager like bitwarden.
What an asshat
Well, you’re just wrong about that. I worked for a company that employed front of the line customer service in Toronto that paid $80k…in 2017! I’m not saying Air Canada does (I have no idea what AC wages are), but if their agents are part of a union, it’s definitely possible.
But my point stands - if anyone thinks these companies are going to ‘do the right thing’ and hire real people when these AI chatbots exist and are so cheap, it’s just not going to happen.
I didn’t say they would pay $100k. I said it would cost probably $100k including benefits - a full time employee cost isn’t just their salary or hourly wage. There’s lots of overhead cost to employ a person at a large company. Also keep in mind this is for a Canadian, so don’t be thinking in USD. In CAD in the Toronto area (for example), it isn’t unreasonable to think even a first line phone based customer service agent salary would be between $65-70k, then the employee expenses on top of that.
Chatbot = basically free
Yearly employee = probably about $100k incl benefits
Should they hire a person? Absolutely. Will they if they can get away with it? Aww hell naw.
Yeah, seems like a lengthy article to spell “money”
That’s subjective I guess. I’d suggest watching a gameplay video to see. What I can say is the courses are very faithful reproductions. As someone who lives in a place where I can’t play in the winter, it’s worth it for me.
Agreed. Check out True Disc Golf if you haven’t already!
I agree, my comment probably didn’t properly reflect that. But the reality is for the (less than) 1% of folks like us on Lemmy, there are a majority that will just go along and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. For example
Good for you, but you are not the typical customer. The vast majority of people will put up with the enshitification and Google (and every other large company doing the same thing) will continue to reap billions in profit.
