His value or worth is far more than what he 'has'. I'm all for lowering min. wage. Competition in the work force should be a thing and parasitic unions should be ended.

Bezos paying min is far from the worst thing he's done. Copying a product and underselling (at a loss) to put companies out of business for example. He should have to reimburse in this life, as there is no other.

Fuck AI with "Fuck"

Left out shadow banning raw footages on YT while front page promoting the same footage with heavy edits and narration that lied about what happened ('see no resisting'). -Leading to riots, increased racism, civil unrest, anti-cop sentiment, innocent lives, jobs, and property lost, etc. All to distract us from a racist genocide they support.

Yandex is the only search I'm aware of that passes tests (using verifiable facts) on the subject. -Grok the only AI.

Other programs like Photoshop lose money though. FOSS devs should just quit as they're their own competition.

Windows 1; not 2

-Because of a lawsuit from Apple.

Fwiw, I've seen some people demonstrate a robust and efficient keyboard based workflow using floating window management. Sometimes it's a simple matter of what you set out to learn.

Mozilla chairman's salary vs Firefox market share (as of 2023)

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).

It's really not a matter of 'working hard enough'. Financial discipline, learning trades (skills), not being depdendent on a single source of income, avoiding addictions and expensive habits, etc can play a part in financial security.
