Meanwhile, at Mozilla, You Have to Sign Into Microsoft to Use BugZilla…

Mozilla in GitHub

Mitchell Baker strikes again…



I keep saying that Mozilla is a useless thrall of Microsoft and Google, and they keep proving me right.



There’s no point in using Firefox now that it has the malicious keylogger ("Suggest") or the other spammy and scummy crap in it.



I figured it was only a matter of time before they moved bug reporting to Microsoft GitHub, but in the meantime, they force you to sign in with it to use BugZilla. I think we all know where this is going.



Hosting your project on GitHub, as opposed to avoiding it -or- only using it as a mirror, is already a strike against your program.



Maybe Microsoft won’t just silently disappear something as visible as Firefox like they do anyone else’s project.



But the fact is, that Mozilla is ignoring that they do this routinely to other people, and that their pals at Microsoft support Trump and have ICE contracts, including an ICE contract with GitHub. So much for being a company that cares about “social justice”.



Matthew Garrett also loves GitHub. The truth is that he actually cares nothing about social justice, just like Mozilla doesn’t. They only use it as a wedge issue to troll actual Free Software developers.



In reality, they actively support government surveillance, ICE, Trump, and slave labor.



Only a person with all of the moral fiber of Jack the Ripper would look closely at what Microsoft, GitHub, and Doordash/gig economy apps do and then go ahead and hang around them anyway, do business with them.
