    What is a "real coin"? Like a dime?

    The whole point of fake coins is to trade them for real coins.

      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.

      Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.

        IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic. As someone who has always struggled with depression and has done ketamine, it does seem like it would be a good fast-acting, but short half-life anti-depressant (the afterglow lasts well after the buzz). Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term. Heard it messes up your bladder.

        "Afterglow" - That's a term I've been searching for, for the past 4-1/2 years now. I've been trying trying to describe the day after a mushroom trip. Thanks.

          The bad part is four things:

          • the op either deliberately or legitimately did not understand what was being said
          • the vast majority of the comments just read what the op wrote and not what was said
          • having this many comments out of whack with this many upvotes gives ammunition to the bigots
          • this is a tech forum ??

            Ok:

            • list of donors that are not all left
            • parent organizations that get money from above
            • mozilla gets money from parents

            Op latches onto one donor; pulls some other stuff out , and the crowd goes wild

            This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs

            Ok, so you say the donors are not all left, so why would a politically diverse set of donors result in Mozilla having "lefties-only" hiring practices? Reading comprehension requires some critical thinking.

            It seems Brendan Eich doesn't understand that it's a politcal diverse group that donated to Mozilla (as you do), given the next sentence. Someone with strong reading comprehension would understand logic of, but I'll explain it to you. His statement is saying that Mozilla became a politically biased organization because of influence from those that donated to it.

            Though your strong reading comprehension may have resulted in you having a different interpretation of "lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply" to mean... well maybe explain what that means to us poor illiterate people that don't possess your intellectual prowess, LOL.

            Also do you care to comment on your interpretation on the "glowies" remark? What does that word mean to you? What is Brendan Eich saying there? Something you agree with I guess.

                Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.

                  The original op took some things out of context, Ford, last I checked, was not a bastion of the left. He names big donors.

                  Then he describes how that money trickles down; and the last I checked the not so polite description is more accurate than not.

                  I don’t mind people bashing bad guys here; and I’m sure this fellow has spent years raiding your hackles. But some people like me, it’s just embarrassing to read

                      Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..

                        People always say things like that as if that some kind of argument in its favor.

                        Being stabbed is better than being shot, but I wouldn't consider either them to be particularly good for your health.

                        Oh, that was not my intention, there are far better drugs than K, even some, which don’t destroy your body.

                        But when I compare friends who use coke vs K, well, there is a big difference. Coke using people tend to get on my nerves (even if they are not on coke right now) and get dumber in some ways, while with people using K, I don't have that.

                          This spineless mouth breather just realised there's a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.

                          just realised

                          "Just"? No, he's always been open about this, and that's why his appointment as Mozilla CEO was so controversial in 2014, and why the board revolted and he ended up resigning 11 days into his tenure.

                          The whole origin story of Brave is steeped in right wing politics.

                            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.

                                Didn't a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan

                                    Of course ff over everything. Zen browser is nice too. I say Vivaldi because of the chromium/blink rendering engines, Vivaldi has a consistent track record. They haven't tried to push any crypto down your throat and uBo still functions. They offer a different experience and welcome their community feedback
