Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS…”

How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less…

While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can’t even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can’t be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you’d have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

That may be but if they would shorten “female soldier”, wouldn’t they refer to her as “a soldier” and not “a female”?

The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.

While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want

I think this is a reasonable explanation.

But I also believe a large part of the firefox user base does not want any data about them collected by their browser, no matter if it is for commercial purposes or simply analytics / telemetry. Which is why the original statement “we will never sell any of your data” was just good enough for them, and anything mozilla is now saying is basically not good enough, no matter how much they clarify it to mean “not selling in the colloquial sense”
