[11:25] schestowitz-TR I say, leave the www [11:25] schestowitz-TR it's compromised [11:26] DaemonFC "Mozilla did cut some expenses. The "branding and marketing" line item, for example which climbed the most in 2017 was cut about 18%, from 2018's $53 million to 2019's $43.5 million. (That same item had been slashed by 23% in 2018.)" [11:26] DaemonFC LOL [11:26] DaemonFC Branding and marketing. $43 million? [11:26] DaemonFC Where do they market Firefox at?

[11:29] DaemonFC But more than 90% of their revenue is Google, so this is more realistic than it seems at first glance. [11:30] schestowitz-TR Computerworld based this on...? [11:30] schestowitz-TR surely that depends on how many they employ and the pay [11:30] schestowitz-TR they can change that at any time [11:34] DaemonFC Get rid of Baker. [11:34] DaemonFC She's soaking up the salary of 20 programmers. [11:35] DaemonFC Remember those companies that got bailouts in 2008 where the CEOs were promising to stay on for a dollar a year to avoid the optics of making millions while taxpayers had to prop the company up? [11:36] schestowitz-TR I wrote about this several times (articles, not social control media) [11:36] schestowitz-TR I actually berated her for the salary before anyone did [11:36] DaemonFC Microsoft, during the pandemic lockdowns, was telling employees to sleep between server racks, to avoid going home and back to the office.

[11:44] DaemonFC Meanwhile, even if everything goes exactly the way they described it, it wouldn't make Illinois power generation carbon-neutral until 2050. [11:44] DaemonFC It's really easy to say you'll do something 15 or 30 years from now. [11:44] DaemonFC In the 1990s, that's how the state "fixed" the pensions, which is why they have about 19 cents on the dollar now. [11:46] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, I have a plan that in 30 years our retirement will work out just fine and be fully funded. It's a great plan. It's 1,000 pages long. You know it's a great plan because it's 1,000 pages long. [11:46] schestowitz-TR brb [11:46] DaemonFC What's the plan? Can't tell you, but it's 1,000 pages so you know I did a lot of work with the pages.

[11:48] DaemonFC They'll never notice and I'll be doing fine. [11:50] DaemonFC See, PPTX stands for Portal Plan To X, where X is the multiverse. [11:51] DaemonFC Even nabbing a few cents from each one will make me richer than Gates, and then I can afford to have all kinds of scandals too. [11:52] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, NPR was putting up articles with Bill Gates in those sweaters, like he was Fred Rogers or something.

[11:53] DaemonFC Story is more than 10 years old. How is this going? [11:53] DaemonFC It's a money sink. [11:54] DaemonFC None of the vaccine candidates backed by Gates money have actually worked and progressed past stage 1 clinical trials. [11:54] *alextee has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:55] DaemonFC He keeps blaming governments for not accepting a 20-25% efficacy for a vaccine. [11:55] DaemonFC That's a pretty poor number for a vaccine for HIV. [11:55] DaemonFC You tell someone they're vaccinated, you should at least be throwing them a number like 60-70% efficacy. [11:56] DaemonFC They say COVID shots are better than this, while everyone is in the fucking hospital. [11:57] DaemonFC "Microsoft's best days are certainly ahead because [of] the research and products and customer connections they have and the strength of leadership, starting with [Chief Executive Officer] Steve Ballmer. It's definitely not immune to this huge downturn that's taking place. Steve is doing the right things. I don't think I would do it any differently or any better, so I picked a time. I announced it several years in advance. And I always knew [11:57] DaemonFC that company would have all sorts of twists and turns that they'd take on and do well with without my being there full time." [11:57] DaemonFC Full time = the 5 hours a week that he wasn't bonking someone that wasn't his wife? [11:57] DaemonFC "Full disclosure:The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the foundations that supports NPR." [11:59] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, He was right about one thing though. [11:59] DaemonFC He didn't do much better at Microsoft than Ballmer did. [11:59] DaemonFC He missed the internet/web coming all the way up through the late 90s. [11:59] DaemonFC Just like Ballmer missed the smartphone. ● Sep 14 [12:00] DaemonFC Nadella is actually dangerous though. [12:01] DaemonFC The guy is no more ethical than Gates or Ballmer, but he's intelligent enough to see that you can't stick your fingers in your ears and pretend Linux doesn't exist. [12:01] DaemonFC Instead, he's buying everyone off and centralizing things on GitHub where Microsoft controls what can and can't actually be developed (as long as people rely on it). [12:02] DaemonFC Many projects that go way back are still on SourceForge, and even that's better than github. [12:03] schestowitz-TR yes, known problem [12:04] DaemonFC As part of the bribe, Mozilla moved "Open Web Docs" to GitHub. [12:04] DaemonFC So MDN depends on that too now. [12:05] DaemonFC It only took $250,000 for Microsoft to poach that and set that as a condition for their money.

[22:01] DaemonFC Not necessarily [22:02] DaemonFC It's never a good idea to pay any infraction, even a parking ticket, without considering whether they issued it in error, or made errors, which you can prove. [22:02] DaemonFC Or if it's likely they can or would bother to produce a witness. [22:03] DaemonFC The only time I ever paid tickets were a $5 parking ticket that the Huntington, Indiana police wrote me for parking in a 2 hour spot. They finally realized I was parked there 8 months into the lease of a nearby apartment, and I had been parking there every day for 8 months. [22:04] DaemonFC And a $25 seat belt ticket, because fighting it risked another $150 in court costs, and seatbelt tickets don't affect insurance. [22:04] DaemonFC Or your driver's license.
