@keithzg@fediverse.keithzg.ca So why should anyone listen to your take if you're NOT going in with an open mind?

  • @dangoodin@infosec.exchange For one, my point was that the Curl folks comparatively do seem to have open and unbiased minds, frankly much less biased than mine, so as someone who's curious about the realities but exhausted by Silicon Valley hype it's their project, or someone/thing akin, that I'm waiting on. I certainly wasn't saying "and so instead listen to MY analysis!". I am in many ways the entire security department of the software company I work for, so I'm not fully just some random dork on the internet, but that certainly doesn't give me insight into the sorts of realities a major world-facing project like Firefox or Curl deals with and the insights that provides. For two, there's famously such a thing as having such an open mind that your brain falls out. And I think it would be hard to claim Mozilla's leadership hasn't been fumbling their brains quite a lot in recent years, particularly when it comes to tech that for-profit American companies are hyping.
