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...
Fascists lie.
Are you sure? You can't just lie on the internet. Who would lie on the internet? Is it even possible to lie on the internet? I don't think it is.
Ladies, I have a 12 inch penis and 34 million dollars. Call me.
I've got a 34mm penis and 12 dollars. Any takers? Ladies?
Not a lady, but I could use the twelve bucks.

That is usually how severance packages work
He was CEO briefly, until the controversy over his appointment got loud enough. It makes sense he would've been paid the most that year, especially with the golden parachute CEOs get when they leave.
His appointment remains one of the most damaging events in Mozilla's history, as it led to the resignation of multiple prior leaders (including previous CEOs). Making him CEO might've been Mitch Baker's worst decision as chairwoman.
Oh, is that where the name Brave came from?
Brave is a peter thiel project.
Fact.
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.
I mean, he's technically better-behaving than Mozilla itself then.
But I think these endless splits over disagreements and inability to cooperate in the split state are systemic.
So maybe the whole typical-left "let's unite and make a thing and boot everyone who shows a sign of rot" is systemically harmful. See, people who show signs of rot - they are the better kind. The really bad people don't show any signs of rot until it's too late. Actually they may not show anything, be like Mozilla tops.
And also one kind of rot is not rot for some people, and the other is not rot for other group of people, and so on. It would be good to build a way of cooperation where people are impeded from cooperation only with whom they themselves disagree, and not the majority.
Same as my other idea that there should be a way of moderation, where a person's ability to choose is strengthened with all the amazing technology we have, and not with benevolent MITM.
these conservative actually think theres an actual boogeyman" left " in america.
Anyone not goose-stepping in jackboots is a dangerous leftie to them.
A word's meaning is how it's used. Also yes, there are.
I think the important separation is not between left and right, it's between truth and lie, or between principle and momentary gain.
