Mozilla CEO pockets a packet, asks biz to pick up pace the 'Mozilla way'

So called "opaque far-left organizations"

I skimmed that article they seem to have a problem with (first in the list) [Mckensie Mack Group]

Never heard of them so i followed the links they provided

1. A twitter search that's supposed to suggest they hate white colonialism

2. A twitter search that's supposed to suggest they hate cis people

3. A company blogpost on abortion.

They claim the blog "primarily discusses abortion and Trans related issues". Of the eight blogposts there was one on abortion and one on trans stuff. I skimmed the abortion one because my stand on abortion is pretty cemented and I read the trans one because I still don't know where I am on that. Honestly considering the source is a black trans women who has a business promoting black trans ideology. That post was pretty darn inoffensive.

The twitter searches are nonsense. There's no links to specific tweets so it's just a lot of noise. I read about 50-60 tweets and couldn't get any thing cohesive out of it. Because there are tweets from the person in question but also tweets from people yelling at the person in question as well as tweets that are unrelated but have the other keyword because twitter search kinda sucks.

By no means am I suggesting Mozilla is a paragon of corporate spendthrift or even that I support or care about MMG. But that blog wants to make the point that MMG is some sort of weirdo group that hates us white guys and everything normal. It's in how they frame it. But honestly it's seems like any other racial justice organization I've ever seen.

Re: Licence

>Ah, the honour system, or as it's also known, fuck you little guy.

I mean that's basically the WinZip model. The product is free to use for a limited time (that isn't actually limited) but commercial use requires license. Even if people cheat the system companies need to pay for their licenses. That might still work with an open source product.
