Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.

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.
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

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.
What the fuck is it with the "Tech Friendly" companies going to shit?

Brave browser is a litmus test.
Always has been. I considered anyone who used it slightly sus until further proof. And if they basically advertised it, I considered them too far gone to try anything else.

Brave evangelists in shambles.
Brave evangelists are the ones who enabled him to do this, they love it.
They're crying with joy, not rage or fear.

Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don't expect anonymity, since it's email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm confused what is this about?

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.

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.

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?

As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign; and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.
I remember back when that referrer thing happened and people on reddit were tripping over themselves to justify it and explain why it's actually ok... What a joke.

Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.
Wish people would stop blaming this on ketamine, a dissociative drug that is very safe (used on children and small animals for surgery), and that typically has the exact opposite effect of how Elon is behaving.
This is 100%. This is in spite of the ketamine.

At this point you are allowed to put "George Soros" in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive.

Historically Irish people were hated in the US and you would often find “No Irish” on job postings
It is used as a substitute for minority in the CEO’s context

You're right and it's so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.
I don't want/need "plug and play" but I also don't really have time to relearn everything I knew "in a prior life."
Suggestions? At this point I'd love to have a backend for my email that isn't Microsoft.
