noted racist
How is he a racist? If he's a noted racist. That must mean there's a ton of proof you can link to, right.
He announced to be against BLM. He claimed that protesting police brutality against black people equates to racism against whites. There's tons of that on the internet, you can google for it yourself. Your lack of basic web search skills is not my problem.
I'm also against BLM, but I agree with BLM that policing needs a lot of reforms. My solutions are just really different from what they propose, such as:
- end qualified immunity - cops that commit crimes should be treated like any other criminal
- increase funding for police - the current pay structure and expectations attract power-hungry people, we should adjust both
- end civil asset forfeiture
- legalize marijuana and decriminalize victimless crimes like drug possession - if there's no victim, there's no crime (and you can't victimize yourself)
- split police into armed and unarmed groups - armed police should not be on the regular police beat, only as backup
And so on.
BLM wants to strip the police of their teeth, I want to put a leash on the police and remove the feral officers.
Maybe that's different from what Lunduke means, IDK, I don't follow the guy. But just saying "doesn't support BLM" is not the same as "is racist." Some of my best friends are POC (including my wife), so it's entirely possible to want what's best for them while disagreeing with BLM.
What methods are being used to measure browser market share? Are those methods inclusive of Firefox users utilizing privacy-forward tools and ad blockers? If not, then Firefox market share may not necessarily be dwindling.
Then again, if Mozilla's revenue stream is aligned with the world of advertising, Firefox users who strive to make themselves invisible to advertisers are being written-off outright by Mozilla. The population of browser market share is only counting those who advertisers can influence - nobody else matters.
I stopped at Lunduke. No thanks.
