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.

Not shocked the fake coin browser has a right-wing CEO.

I understood what he said. Strip out some rude terms and it sounds accurate. The comments here sound like someone shouted “squirrel” to a pack of rabid dogs.

I also lack common sense and am posting this comment. In my feeble defense I really don’t know the guy, and suspect he likes baiting others

Brave browser is a litmus test.

This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.

Sounds like pretty standard far right brainrot.

That's a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

I think Waterfox looks pretty great and works well for me. Not sure how different it is from Firefox Mobile itself since I switched from Chrome to Waterfox directly, but assume Firefox probably looks pretty similar.

I like Vivaldi

Old guy, here...

WTF is a "glowie"?

[–] febra@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Terry A. Davis popularised the term. He was a software engineer that ended up with a very bad case of schizophrenia. While unemployed due to his illness, he streamed while working on his own operating system that he built with the intention of "communicating with God". While streaming, he used to go on these rants about how federal agents are spying on him, calling them "glowies" more often than not along the n word with a very hard r at the end. The term "glowies" has very racist associations.

In other words, you need to be somewhat fairly far down the alt-right pipeline if you actually talk about "glowies".

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it's a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that's probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

[–] LupertEverett@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"

That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.

Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.

Oh that queer hating fuck is still around?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 hours ago

Most of them are.

Good thing I quit brave a few years ago when they did that Crypto shit.

[–] nectar45@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

Of course they did...
