A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Here is a NYT article mentioning Brendan Eich's firing from the Mozilla Foundation because of his stance on Same-Sex marriage in 2014, and also his antivax/anti-Fauci tweets during the pandemic.
It's always bizarre to me how libertarian types like Eich don't see the complete hypocrisy of opposing things like gay marriage. They're their own worst enemy most of the time, politically speaking.
His apology "for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused" was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a "political litmus test".
Like, yeah dude, if you're going to be CEO of a company that aims to uphold principles of individual rights and privacy you're going to get criticized for holding far right views that run completely contrary to that.
He's shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?
