#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

There's not a CEO in the world doing $7 million worth of work. Saying this is in line with exec compensation elsewhere is not a defense, it's an indictment. Nor is gender equity in pay an argument when ALL execs are overpaid and where pay equity is worst is at the entry level and among the precariat. Seriously, stop trying to justify a $7 million salary. Executive compensation is a PROBLEM, and while it's nothing specific to Mozilla, you can say this without pretending it's healthy. 2/2

@james@strangeobject.space THIS is why I resent any type of "productivity measurement". If I as the person responsible for their (professional and sometimes very rarely personal) situation don't know how and what they feel and are working on, I should quit my job. I sometimes hear "but we need abstract measurements to hand up to executive management". No, you don't. Have a talk with them and tell them about the people you are working with. If they don't like this, this is not a good place to be. And regarding 'productivity': some people have a constant outfit of achievements or in software development tickets. That's productivity. But some people 'produce' less individual results, but removing them from the team would lower everyone's productivity. That's generativity. I don't know many colleagues taking this into account or even noticing it exists.

The cognitive dissonance of people eschewing Mozilla cos of AI and big salaries and a problematic CEO And suggesting people move to Brave The crypto browser that also does AI The browser who is available through Epic Games Store Taking some share of ad revenue for itself instead of giving it to who it’s supposed to Suggesting affiliate links in the address bar The browser that’s installing pay to use software on Windows machines without asking for consent Helmed by Brendan Eich You know, the JavaScript creator Oh but he’s also the guy ousted as Mozilla’s CEO for donating to anti lgtbq propositions the same guy who seems to hold Covid conspiracy theories in his head Please use a fucking search engine some time 🤡

As someone coming off a decade of working there, I can tell you with some confidence that “you should use Firefox despite Mozilla’s leadership” is far more true and has been true far longer than you realize. But you should also understand that original market-share vs ceo salary meme is a creation of Brendan Eich, presumably born of a grudge, and notably elided his tenure as CTO, during which the worst of that decline happened. You should still use Firefox though.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared. So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world. 10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet. She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!" #microfiction

When straight men say that they are feeling uncomfortable in the presence of gay men (because they assume the gays will be ogling them or chatting them up, even if the gays don't do anything remotely like that), the only thing I can think is this: The straight guys are basically assuming that gays will behave in exactly the same creepy and unacceptable ways in which they themselves tend to behave towards women (or people they think are women). But in my experience, the gays usually do not. So, sorry, straight guys, you still have the monopoly on creepiness 😜

Trans. People. Don't. Owe. You. Anything. They don't owe you tiptoeing around your "concerns" about women in restrooms or girls in sports or women's prisons or trans kids who might detransition or someone "having it too easy". They don't owe you dressing or performing their gender in any particular way. Not masculinity nor femininity nor androgyny. They don't owe you "passing" or information about their bodies or surgeries or stories about what signs there were when they were young. They don't owe you being courteous and graciously accepting your apologies when you hurt them by misgendering them or deadnaming them. They don't owe you gratitude for "being so understanding". Trans. People. Don't. Owe. You. Jack. Shit.
