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.
The origin story of Brave is entirely right-wing. He was forced out of Mozilla because of his public stances on political topics. It’s no secret that after being forced out for his politics, he went on to create a new browser company.
yeah brave always felt gross and i remember them doing shady crap for years.
What is a “real coin”? Like a nickel? The little pieces of cheap metal with slavers on it?
Yes (Chad face)
You know, currency you can actually buy things with.
Oh, BTC.
Gross
The whole point of fake coins is to trade them for real coins.
Yeah, a lot of people say things like “a BloingCoin is worth €1000” or “1 PissBux is worth more than a barrel of oil” but, like, so what? I know how many apples I can buy with €1 (about two). How many apples can I buy with a BloingCoin or a PissBux? Or, for that matter, a barrel of oil?
Can I pay my taxes, rent, and student loans in your currency? If not then it’s not real money
