Other programs like Photoshop lose money though. FOSS devs should just quit as they’re their own competition.

Brigading

Graphs like these have been going on for years.

It is possible that the CEO came in and cleaned out the bloat of workers that just come in and hang out basically (common in the tech field and has been done to Twitter (X)). -That would make the salary increase correlate to savings. Showing a correlation between development and available funds would be pertinent. Just off the top of my head, I remember significant improvements since first seeing graphs like this.

Also take into account the competition was dismal until Chrome came along. Much like the game console market when Sony entered it, the browser market was hurting with a hole to fill for a strong leader.

Mozillas politics don’t help. Choosing a side can alienate about half your user base. Flip-flopping sides and you’re killing off your whole user base. Declaring dishonestly that ‘we can’t do this without your donations’ while making bank from Google (long time ago) doesn’t help either. Politics would need to come into play here and how much those are on the CEO.

They mostly appeal to Linux users (people more likely to switch out things), and almost every Linux YouTuber promotes Brave (which is shady af). Brave also has or had an undeniable corporate presence in the browsers sub on Reddit with weekly Brave vs *** for a particular category Brave would win at by low karma accounts. Firefox lacked that marketing, not for being a bad browser. Prior to, they had the FOSS fanbase influencing for them.

Statistics and graphs are tools of propagandists. There might be something there, but there’s often a bigger picture to be seen. Firefox isn’t a bad browser, and I’m hoping they can turn it around to gain marketshare again. (and drop all politics).

This is why I don’t believe in butt-chugging.

PSPC w/ TRC lol

Some people just need to not be told what it is and have it pepared to resemble something they’re familiar with. My family wouldn’t try calamari, but when I took them to a place that had it looking like noodles on a buffet, they tried it and liked it.

edit: Also, lots of people actually like anchovies and eat them on Caesar salad and in sauces without realizing.

They’re spitting out propaganda and misinformation mostly from what I can see. If anything, it should get a refund.

-Outside of coding / debugging tasks (and that’s hit or miss)

Your data is worthless. Only Linux type zealots (conspiracy theorists) harp on that. Ever copied a meme and shared it elsewhere?

I’m not quite a boomer, but I do see this generation as just wanting hand-outs. -Oh wait… that’s just how it appears online because they’re the ones with all the time to post about it.

Using humor to spread wisdom. -nice!

Why is the narration, editing, and shadow banning needed then?

If someone was brandishing a gun in a crowd -they killed themselves. If someone who had covid bad is having problems breathing when unobstructed wants to fight being arrested -they killed themselves.

Police are people, they can be corrupt like anyone else. They also do a shitty job that none of their critics would do. They’re under high scrutiny constantly and have to balance now whether to save their own life or risk going to prison from dangerous situations.

When BLM starts posting unedited un narrated raw footage without getting it shadow banned instead, then maybe they’d deserve an ear. Until then, all they’re doing is their part in diverting from the real problem of a genocidal, brutal racial slavery endorsing death cult. The art of war by turning their would be enemies against each other.

‘Death sentence’ - nice propaganda.

Some of the picture that you’re conveniently omitting:

George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).

George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.

At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).

George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.

Derek’s knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.

There’s conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let’s not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

So stop with the propaganda.

Sure, how were they sleeping while someone was next to them shooting? Why do you have a problem with painting the whole picture?

Go be a better cop and set an example.

This should be viral. Every BLM piece of propaganda on Youtube that I saw involving the death of a black person could be traced back to a shadow banned (by YouTube) raw video showing resisting arrest, brandishing a gun, etc. If they cared about people’s lives; they’d educate. My father had this talk with me, and any father that loves their kids should do likewise.

tldr or teeldeer is the short manual. fwiw

Mariokart isn’t all that great by today’s standards though. The tracks look pretty and all (Tuxkart not so), but game-play wise Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed blows it away (and it’s even old).
