The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there's Chromium and it's various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?

Historically Irish people were hated in the US and you would often find “No Irish” on job postings

It is used as a substitute for minority in the CEO’s context as a way to say Mozilla allowed minorities to apply for jobs

Eich should have been banned from any technical enterprise after inflicting Javascript on us all. His shitty views just reinforce that position further.

"Glowies"? As in "glow in the dark CIA n-words"? Bro turned into Tarry Davis.
