Hey, please stop repeating the misinformation that corps are legally required to maximize profits or your shareholders can sue you. It's propaganda promoted by a handful of huge fund managers because they'd *like that* to be true.

Even SCOTUS agrees “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.” (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby)

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not • The Register

Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's wealth, there's a natural human desire to make more wealth. Ever since Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a mosquito to an artery to the Google cash firehose. The Reg noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned five.
And as for that money — remember back in 2018? That's when Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its motto.
Mozilla's leadership is directionless and flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a profit, because it never had to make a profit. It's no wonder it has no real direction or vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a business.


This is a good summary of all the good they have done and also how they repeatedly throw out the baby but keep the bathwater.

And this interesting bit.

Mozilla is, sadly, far from alone in having faltering leadership. Around the industry, tech execs who couldn't tell an LLM bot from an MLM scheme if their lives depended on it are investing in AI. It's not just cool, it's a cult now. This isn't hyperbole. The phenomenon has a name – it's called TESCREAL, and it is without exaggeration on its way to becoming a religion.

I want this for the retrofuturist movie I will never actually make.

It is currently up for _free_ on #seattle Craigslist and would make one hell of a set piece if you are that sort of person.

it's a device for tuning automotive distributors. looks like it's missing the chuck? you clamp the distributor onto that arm, and then a chuck is supposed to go from the plate up to the distributor. you put the wires on it and the thing spins the distributor at various speeds (see the 'engine speed' gauge) and the firing points show up on the plate at the bottom. the charts are various ignition timing information for various engines, so you can see how far off your distributor is and figure out what you need to change.

I haven't seen anyone use one of these things since I was a little kid, and I'm old as hell

Never mind Russia, North Korea and Iran, a majority of Canadian citizens now see the neighboring United States as the “greatest threat” to their country.

Fifty-nine percent of Canadians view the U.S. as a major risk.

North Korea only became like this after the US blew up their entire country, killed about a fifth of their people, and then sat next to their borders for seventy years with guns pointed at them (and also sanctioning the hell out of them after the end of the USSR). Iran wanting to have nukes is due to the understanding that Israel has them, and getting their nuclear facilities bombed has not only not eliminated their nuclear weapons program, but fully justified it.

Seattle voters recently approved a 5% payroll tax on high incomes to fund social housing, aiming to build permanently affordable homes for a range of incomes. The initiative could generate $52 million annually for the new Seattle Social Housing program. theconversation.com/from-seatt…

It is actually very difficult to externally rotate the hips as much as they do in ballet for some people that have never trained in it even if they can do the splits and had a lot of yoga

Balancing on only the toes instead of the whole foot is also challenging

These two features make ballet exercise unique compared too many other common types of exercise and uniquely different than many other types of dance

in reply to shortstories

Princess Tutu is a Japanese Anime that goes into great detail about ballet style when people move

Even when they are running or dance fighting they run with the hips externally rotated like in ballet

If you like ballet I strongly reccommend watching Princess Tutu if you can watch the whole series for free

@shortstories My sister did ballet for years. She did not pursue it. She was remarkably fit and lithe.
We are estranged...
This reminded me of her.
Sorry for rambling. Perhaps it was just cathartic release.

Aside: yoga is not a fitness regime. It is a spiritual practice to be grounded with Nature. Western ideas have subverted it. Unfortunate.

Also: The Russians were clearly better at this performance of Swan Lake. Synchronization and smoothness of movement.
