How is any of this admissible in court?

Where are the peer reviewed studies showing this is reliable? Where are the published accuracy rates?

There's no excuse for the police being ignorant of these evidentiary standards.

Nonprofits are part of the public sector. Mozilla foundation is a nonprofit. Mozilla corporation, which is for-profit, controls Firefox.

That may sound strange, but it's to work around tax laws. If Firefox had a really good year, they must use or give away nearly all the money they've accrued if it's a nonprofit. As a for-profit, they can establish cash reserves.

I don't agree with staggering CEO pay. I merely say that we should fight the corruption's source and not a mere effect

@aral
"If we don't pay the CEO this much, they'll just go work in the private sector."

This is true yet we can still be irritated by this. But, railing against Mozilla doesn't fix the problem. The problem is capitulating to authoritarian thinking, which capitalism propagandizes is into doing.

The necessity of ungodly CEO pay is a scam. Condemning the public sector only further divides us. Save your wrath for the true enemies. Fight capitalism.

It really solidified that they have a capitalist bias and were more than willing to sacrifice us all for profit.

@Pomegracias @ikuo1000 @DataDrivenMD

When the Lt Gov of Texas said that we might have to sacrifice grandparents for corporate profits and people didn't demand his expulsion from office, that pretty much showed what a propagandized, brainwashed, and immoral society we've become.

To be fair, he wasn't really willing to risk his own life. He took the vax but told others to do their own research.

I've long speculated whether the Repubs hoped covid would lead to a culling of Americans. Technological advances are reducing the good paying factory jobs of old and a UBI will soon become necessary and eat corporate profits. If they could eliminate a huge chunk of the labor force, though, that would keep the machine chugging along an extra several years.

For anyone using LibreOffice, here are directions to do save accessability data.

This page also shows how to add an image description in a document, as is done here on Mastodon.

@libreoffice I didn't know about these features until now. Thanks for all you folks do to make great programs.
