There's also nothing preventing people from taking photos at a nude beach for example. Does that make it ok? Of course not. But by tech bro logic it would on the people at the beach to put up walls and check everyone's bags for cameras.

Your neighbour is going through your mail while you're at work? Tough luck. Why didn't you buy a high-security mailbox?

Someone used your open-source code in a way that the license doesn't permit? Guess you'll have to pay a lawyer for an extended period of time to get that settled, sucker.

Someone is recording conversations you have with a partner while you're outdoors? Silly you! Should have stayed inside with the curtains closed for any semblance of privacy.

This "anything goes unless made impossible" logic falls apart at the slightest examination. It's obviously not how human societies work at all. Yet, these people expect that they get a free pass on whatever they think is a good idea.

At first glance, I don't... detest #Mozilla's announcements.

I get they're trying to diversify, so they threw a bunch of spaghetti at the wall. Some stuck, some didn't. Seems pretty normal when going through a phase like that, no?

VPNs? Email relays? Saturated markets, tough to compete, makes sense to scale back. 3D worlds? Companies much larger have tried and failed, makes sense to drop it.

Mastodon instance? How many people do you need to run one? Scaling back probably makes sense too. 🤷🏻‍♂️
