Mozilla, Tor Join Calls to Oust Richard Stallman from Free Software Foundation

Update: Market share isn't really my point. Mozilla makes a browser used by millions of people while the FSF mostly reminisces about the old days. If Mozilla is a loser then the FSF is already dead by comparison.

What's Mozillas market share like again? Taking advice from losers is terrible idea.

Higher than GNU/Linux. Update: Market share isn't really my point. Mozilla makes a browser used by millions of people while the FSF mostly reminisces about the old days. If Mozilla is a loser then the FSF is already dead by comparison.

Firefox is irrelevant. Which explains why they support things like this.

If you can't win by building better software you can win by bullying anyone else who does.

Comments in this thread represent what’s wrong with the industry.

The article references sexual harassment, the commenters care about market share.

Did you know it’s important to hold people accountable more, the more power they have?

It’s one thing if you disagree, but making it about “winners” and “losers” and not about victims is how we ended up creating toxic workplaces.
