@nixCraft@mastodon.social Firefox lost a long time ago, but had guaranteed income from the search-ads deals. They tried many things over the years to create another revenue source but failed.

I heard from a Mozilla insider that regulatory changes (from even before the current administration) will make those search-ads deals illegal. Which is kind of a good thing but now the org is facing its end and dissolving in predictable ways

@notsle@kzoo.to @graydon@types.pl I actually went through this with the IT at our current company when I enrolled. MDM is quite appropriate for us, we manage people's money. I also have some experience in iOS device management.

As far as I know, these concerns are wildly exaggerated for iOS. It wasn't true in 2018 when this was written (read further down to the comments) and it's far less true now.

IME users are about 1000x more likely to be compromised by some free-to-play game or social network
