From the guys at Mozilla Foundation, who made a $25 million margin in 2023 (!), have $118 millions in assets, invested $35 millions in AI bullshit, but still fired 30% of the Foundation workers in 2024. And now they want more money to decentralize a private company, while Mastodon, a non-profit initiative only has $0.5 millions in funding a year. Is this a joke?
Mozilla could easily give $5 millions a year to various Fediverse projects, greatly improving things, on a project that is already decentralized today.

Only the percent has reduced, but the actual revenue from Google has been growing over the years.

You know who approved this compensation? The compensation committee.
This committee has 3 members. One of which was… Laura Chambers, the new CEO. Source: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/
So she basically decided how much she would be paid. For me it's a clear conflict of interest.
They explain here how the compensation for the CEO is decided: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2021/a...
It's basically based on what other similarly-sized tech start-ups pay. Which is ridiculous to me as Mozilla is basically a Google-funded open source project.
Also, who was on the nominating committee when Laura Chambers was nominated to the Mozilla Corporation in the first place? Baker. With one other member of the compensation committee, and another person.
This seems also to be a conflict of interest to me.

This is a simple and lighweight WebDAV server, allowing to easily set up a file sharing server compatible with WebDAV and NextCloud clients. It has no depencies and good performance.
It also has a built-in WOPI server to edit documents with Collabora or OnlyOffice, and a nice web UI to manage files using a web browser.

This is banned in Europe as bacteria develop with time, making it unsafe for drinking water pipes.
Sometimes chemicals are safer.
