I sure do hope Trump’s hiring a racist comedian and Speaker Johnson’s self-defeating stupidity is enough to overcome Democrat’s self-defeating stupidity.

Mozilla is going to kill it too. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxsdmHepmqMNqWM0BmW2RHemnarYeQk0bk?feature=shared

America is a first world country. If we believe it hard enough, we can make it true.

The Lakota committed many atrocities. Do you know that they cut people’s scalps off? The US Calvary are the only civilized army in the west.

That’s still enough to get her hit with the dark money equivalent of a 2000 pound glide bomb in the next election.

Kamala prefers war criminals to leftists.

Lotta people here have some body dismorphia

It does seem like short shorts are coming back.

Most of the tech billionare’s ideas comes from watching a dystopian 80s scifi and saying “let’s do this but where I’m the bad guy.”

Show me one thing Elon ever came up with that isn’t in Total Recall.

They would have had to build that infrastructure. I’m not saying fundraising is easy. But it’s possible as proven by wikipedia. They could have cut Google loose 10 years ago and said "we’re going to use our runway to try to put together a wikimedia foundation style fundraising operation. I don’t think they can do it now because the trust, goodwill and quite frankly, userbase is gone.

What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.

My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.

It’s the board and the wider leadership who are controlled by Google and intent on destroying Firefox. The current CEO is pretty new, and replaced a heavily criticized CEO that spent years overseeing the decline of Firefox. The new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Daily reminder that Mozilla’s new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia. Instead they chose the comfortable path of being funded by their biggest competitor, who is an evil monopoly spyware ad business, which has been compelling Mozilla to kill Firefox and become the badies on the way down.

Gonna save this one for later.

I’ve been voting for a while and never have I seen a candidate on the ballot who was against capitalism.

This can be explained by where the cops go versus where the cameras go. Cameras are all over the city and are placed, honestly, to collect as much revenue as possible. Cops tend to concentrate in minority neighborhoods due to a real or perceived need for more cops there.

Yep this. It’s a combination of becoming more financially well-off, combined with loss aversion, combined with a sense that the culture starts to alienate you. It’s like grandpa simpson said: “I used to be with it. But what was ‘it’ changed. And now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’, and what is ‘it’ is scary and strange.”

Man, I’m so glad this shit is illegal on multiple levels in Europe.

They conquered the whole planet in search of someone they could beat at cricket.

Both CEOs are horrible but the new one is a former McKinsey consultant with a background in finance and the silicon-valley C-suite. According to statements she put out her strategy is: layoffs and AI.
