Une oeuvre qui représente tellement de choses en ces moments troubles, applicable au meilleur face aux pires, théologiquement, philosophiquement, humainement parlant de vérités et de libertés.
Je sais: j'en fais trop; mais la liberté peut au moins se targuée d'être illustrée avec bonté et beauté de façon admirable sous votre plume.
Merci...encore...et en cœur...encore et en chœurs...
@gub Merci ! Oui, bien vue pour le passage passé à la trappe du code binaire. j'avais en tête un champs de ces 0 et 1 et que le gros Chrome serait comme une moissoneuse de data en aspirant ça. Mais bon, ça faisait cliché, et ça s'intégrait assez mal dans l'aspect painting et touche du pinceau de l'illu. J'ai donc passé le calque à la trappe en cours de route. 😋
@davidrevoy Love your work, David. And it’s definitely not your fault that we live in the worst possible timeline but what’s missing in that image is the hand from Google giving Mozilla half a billion dollars.
(Mozilla exists on roughly half a billion dollars from Google every year. Sadly, they’re not so much adversaries as partners.)
@laukanhenkka Google is a publicly-traded corporation with a fiduciary duty to its shareholders.
They cannot just give some organisation half a billion dollars unless they can make the case that they’re getting more than half a billion dollars of value back from their investment.
Most visibly, Mozilla makes Google its default search engine on Firefox.
More than that, Mozilla gets to exist thanks to Google. No half a billion a year from Google, no Mozilla, no Firefox.
Yes, I knew that. Thank you for writing this, it is useful information.
It's hard to show all the subtle interactions and I had to sit on my own issues with Moz/Ff - e.g. all their failed non-sense side projects or recently their AI discourse to seduce investors.
It's a limitation of my illustration that I kept it as simple as possible to be more efficient with the message: if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster.
> if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster
If we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, Google would go bankrupt. When Google goes bankrupt, Mozilla would lose the half a billion dollars it needs from Google to survive so Mozilla would also go bankrupt. So the only way Mozilla and Firefox can continue to exist is if we don’t all use Firefox with UblockOrigin. That’s the gambit.
@davidrevoy Amazing illustration! Nobody in my real life ever understands why Google's or Meta's internet monopolization is a problem, not even the ones familiar with tech at large.
@davidrevoy This is an amazing piece of artwork. Firefox in many ways feels like the last bastion before total chrome domination (ref browser engines), and that's such a scary thought.
Google has far too much power now in setting wen standards.
@davidrevoy Your work and philosophy has always been an inspiration to me.
This piece is striking in depicting our struggle for the Net in way that's so relevant but keeps your trademark sense of fantasy and wonder.
I hope one day I can make work like this, that makes people feel and go "Wow", without being a preachy political cartoon.
Art like this can change the course of history. <3
We are small, but mighty. . .brb let's all uninstall Chrome together. 😁
