Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole...
Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.
As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign (and thus alienating a whole lot of developers, sponsors, and users); and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.
If I'm reading their financial records correctly, the year he left Mozilla was the year he was paid the most, even though he didn't stick around for most of it. So this retelling of history is, at best, incomplete...

This kind of statement have way less impact when people already have 0 goodwill toward the one that says it.

Is this racist against the Irish? I mean that is traditional, but sounds so strange.
I think this is just a CEO likening personal opinions to racial oppression. The example he chose might be a little ironic too.

We knew Eich was an asshole when he tried to support that amendment in California ages ago
Is there a good mobile browser that...
- Supports adblock?
- Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?
I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.
Cromite on Android checks both those boxes. Ad blocking isn't great, but the developer isn't Brave.
Firefox + uBlock Origin might be better if you haven't tried that specific extension before. It works more than okay for me, but I realize YMMV and that's especially true for non-flagships
Cromite doesn't seem to allow opening supported links in other apps for some reason

I didn't know that word.
Noun
glowie (plural glowies)
- (Internet slang, derogatory, far-right) A government agent or informant infiltrating an online political space, with the supposed intention of surveilling violent extremists or provoking entrapment.
Ohh, Thanks I did need a dictionary for the OP, but you still left out the racist 4chan verbiage around the etymology ("CIA N*s glow in the dark"). https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie#English

It's a bit worse than that, the term started with a slur attached
Glowie, also known as a Glown*****, is a slang term popular on 4chan's /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users...
The originator of the term is the late Terry Davis, a paranoid schizophrenic and developer of TempleOS. He used to go on angry rants about "glow in the dark CIA niggers", or glowies for short.
He was discovered by 4channers and harassed up until his death. His choice of language, and mental deterioration, were due to them in no small part

Not his first time having a public melty over woke themes. What is it about tech CEOs and advanced brain rot? Are they getting too high on their own products?

What's a glowy? Like, a glowstick?
its from terry davis, the schizophrenic talented developer who wrote his own OS (TempleOS) from scratch as one of gods temples or something, however he was pretty racist and delusional, so would see "glowies" of CIA agents or whatever trying to get him, and now the term is used for people suspecting others of being federal agents
Let's not forget the embedded racism in the original quote from Terry: "CIA n*ggers glow in the dark."

For a non-native speaker of english this reads like a core dump. I have zero idea what this dude is even talking about.
Extremely online echo chamber talk doesnt make sense in any language if youre ourside that echo chamber.
Him being a 4chan shitbird means most the people here on lemmy likely weren't going to be clue'd in immediately.

For a native English speaker who understands everything he wrote: you're 100% correct. It is a core dump.
Oh right - that's why I keep not installing Brave. I knew it was something and then I forget.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.
Finally somebody other than me says it!
