CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

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.

Are they getting too high on their own products?

Yes and they literally have turned the idea of Admin Rights into the Divine Right of Kings.

"I know how to be an admin, thus I should run the fucking world."

When Cisco helped roll out The Great Firewall of China, they made great pains to explain that all they were actually doing was setting up the hardware and software to do what they were already designed to do. Computers and computer networks were never designed to be democratic in nature at all. Now that computers run the world, these jabronis think they deserve to be the Kings of it all.

these jabronis think they deserve to be the Kings of it all.

And are perfectly willing and sometimes even capable to burn the world down for the position
