Graphs like these have been going on for years.

It is possible that the CEO came in and cleaned out the bloat of workers that just come in and hang out basically (common in the tech field and has been done to Twitter (X)). -That would make the salary increase correlate to savings. Showing a correlation between development and available funds would be pertinent. Just off the top of my head, I remember significant improvements since first seeing graphs like this.

Also take into account the competition was dismal until Chrome came along. Much like the game console market when Sony entered it, the browser market was hurting with a hole to fill for a strong leader.

Mozillas politics don’t help. Choosing a side can alienate about half your user base. Flip-flopping sides and you’re killing off your whole user base. Declaring dishonestly that ‘we can’t do this without your donations’ while making bank from Google (long time ago) doesn’t help either. Politics would need to come into play here and how much those are on the CEO.

They mostly appeal to Linux users (people more likely to switch out things), and almost every Linux YouTuber promotes Brave (which is shady af). Brave also has or had an undeniable corporate presence in the browsers sub on Reddit with weekly Brave vs *** for a particular category Brave would win at by low karma accounts. Firefox lacked that marketing, not for being a bad browser. Prior to, they had the FOSS fanbase influencing for them.

Statistics and graphs are tools of propagandists. There might be something there, but there’s often a bigger picture to be seen. Firefox isn’t a bad browser, and I’m hoping they can turn it around to gain marketshare again. (and drop all politics).

Nice word play (for those that missed it)!

Maybe forgetting that spell of incinerating the whole earth though, that one outdoes the great flood (of wine).

woosh

Probably a good idea for the winter since fresh apricot seeds would be scarcer. j/k

After a long romp, a fairly new g/f went into my kitchen, grabbed a 1 gal bottle of white vinegar from the fridge, poured herself a glass and tried to chugged it while I was still in bed recovering. -She had the nerve to think I tried to poison her (for half a minute)!

Read and use labels. lol

Science! Science proved that* i* before e except after c was wrong! -Isn’t science great!

It’s a classic post! Didn’t notice the date.

Smells just like a bump or a line. -CoPilot would like to know if you’re interested in trying it.

Tea isn’t natural. Pee is.

So you put pee pee on the inside to get warm which ensures population growth.

They’re a type of Gourami, and I believe they’re all aggressive. -Hence why people use plants and shelters to give other fish hiding spots.

Is anyone else bothered by people saying their cat is lost? -No; it left a toxic relationship! “They stole my cat” -Nah, it moved out!

Damn, I spoiled it now. -They already know!

I have this acronym finder as a search engine shortcut in vomnibar. It never has what I’m looking for:

Department(al) Network Administrator Datanetwork Associates (Software) Does Not Apply

A lot of times memes are what they are because they’re harder to fact check (can’t copy and paste text from them). People use them to spread misinformation for fun. -This is actually a confirmed meme though.

A testament to how hardy fish are. If you have fish dying in an aquarium; you shouldn’t have pets.

Colony collapse was due to fungicides being sprayed in the day. -Bees don’t need extra pollen (they have plenty of food to spare which is why we have honey as a product), and they don’t need people’s lawns (pick the leaves up before winter).

Leaving leaves is just being an asshole neighbor making safe paths for vermin to get into houses, and reduce the value of neighboring properties.

Admittance of ‘all eyes on code’ being bullshit.

Same way you’d learn to use your smartphone. -Why do we see this stupid question constantly?
