Being cruel to your employees qualifies, regardless whether they care about the product, IMO. And it seems like those employees did care. Words matter and shape the environment people work in.

I think the skull already did a good job of that

Not everyone passing through HN is a racist. These things become canon when nobody opposes them.

It's up to you, really, to only use flatpaks that declare tight permissions and implement the proper protocols to safely access resources they don't declare.

This isn't always easy and a lot of software on flathub is old-ish, so people tend to open up permissions since it's difficult to implement all these features properly. In my experience people will rarely stand in your way if you try to improve a package.

The fact that this is up for debate already says all. For anyone passing through, read the blog posts and his social media feeds, make up your own mind.

That only works until they realize what's going on. Then you will be expected to output so much that you will have to prompt for 40 hours a week.

In multiple European countries, national ID numbers are public information that can be searched by name and address (i.e. Sweden)

People had to raise hell to get that, while being made fun of by their CMs on social media. Even the opt-out is full of silicon valley dark patterns. Whoever is calling shots about the product at Mozilla doesn't have your best interests at heart.

Wow, your mom lets you have TWO scrollbars?

Posting this without actually looking at what these stand for is more than useless.

People need to be paid. People want benefits. People need to be taught how to edit. Children need to be taught how to research. People need to be brought together to figure out where the site and the tech is going. People want to feel safe participating in their community. If Wikipedia had only ever been "server costs" it would be nowhere close to what it is today.

GoDaddy is the worst registrar, consider it a liability in any of your setups and switch immediately. I've had similar experiences, save yourself the trouble.

Maybe "accidentally killing fossil fuels" will be DT's singular good deed

You are being, and have been, played. What is happening to the left now is exactly what you thought was happening to the right before Elon.

You should try asking ChatGPT to just write you a single paragraph instead next time, it would have the same amount of information and maybe it wouldn't be so obvious
