The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Right wing asshole shows to the world again that they never improved and are even more of a right wing asshole.

This is why I never used Brave anything longer than a brief look. Fuck this dude, I'm glad Mozilla removed him.

I didn't know that word.

Noun

Ohh, Thanks I did need a dictionary for the OP, but you still left out the racist 4chan verbiage around the etymology ("CIA N*s glow in the dark"). https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie#English

Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole...

Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

Not his first time having a public melty over woke themes. What is it about tech CEOs and advanced brain rot? Are they getting too high on their own products?

For a non-native speaker of english this reads like a core dump. I have zero idea what this dude is even talking about.

Vivaldi to replace brave if Firefox is not enough

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.

[–] MiikCheque@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Of course ff over everything. Zen browser is nice too. I say Vivaldi because of the chromium/blink rendering engines, Vivaldi has a consistent track record. They haven't tried to push any crypto down your throat and uBo still functions. They offer a different experience and welcome their community feedback
