Following your breadcrumbs. I found another winner: https://tommorris.org/posts/8070 Thanks for this.

Wonder if things like this might cause an issue: http://tommorris.org/posts/2550 Mozilla has always stood for freedom of knowledge, and by extension human rights (so people can access that knowledge). I don't know what Brendan's political beliefs currently are, but I hope he doesn't still wish to restrict the human rights of certain people based on their sexual orientation. Not trying to make any assumption and wish him the best, but its at least possible this could be indicative of a world view that sees discrimination as acceptable in certain situations. I sure hope that's not the case. It would not be good for Mozilla, or the Internet at large.

Rants are always best with actual examples of what's being ranted. Just as http://tommorris.org/posts/2451

Unlikely, as the law is vague and interpreted, this cannot be captured in code. https://tommorris.org/posts/2020/hart-contracts-not-smart-contracts/

That's been my experience. Bugs reported and then either ignored or closed as duplicates of ancient bugs. See https://tommorris.org/posts/9491 (not my post, but similar experience).

Also, doctors who specialise in hearing loss (given the volume we pump into our ears to block out the noise in open plan offices), as well as pharmaceutical companies making any drugs that deal with increases in stress (another fun side-effect of open plan nonsense).

I guess 2 years is long enough for most people to have forgotten the brief storm about his homophobic political activities. I wonder if this appointment would have been made 18 months ago when that was still fresh in people's minds. I can't help thinking that it doesn't really fit with the image Mozilla tries to present of themselves. http://tommorris.org/posts/2550

I think this is a good thing - searching for the n-word on Github reveals a lot of static swear-word lists for filters (which are OK) [1] but also lots of rather strange choices for tests (what's up with weboob's test.py?). We as a community of open source developers have to stop and think about how the outside world perceives us. There's already lots and lots of negative flak in regards to sexism about Silicon Valley and IT-culture, which doesn't help when the "normal" non-IT population already sees IT-people as a bunch of hateful nerds with absolutely zero social skills. This is a good action in that it's an open signal to change things - it might not achieve much, but it's a signal.

The site tells me nothing about the app. "Share and meet new friends", okay well who are they and how does it match me to people? Can I chat with people I already know? How does this differ to all the other chat apps already out there? Another candidate for "No, I'm not going to download your bullshit app"http://tommorris.org/posts/8070

On a related note: "No, I'm not going to download your bullshit app": http://tommorris.org/posts/8070

Silence is not a non-contribution. You're not getting it, but then, you already told us you don't wish to spend even a second learning more about this issue, so I guess this won't help you either: http://tommorris.org/posts/8084

Do you support the "NSFW" class on links? http://tommorris.org/profiles/nsfw

Similar post that was on the front page recently: "No, I'm not going to download your bullshit app" http://tommorris.org/posts/8070 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5162841) I agree, while the app might provide a better experience for Browsing the site in question is does not provide the information that I am currently seeking. Forums often do the "Download our mobile app" (I assume that they are all running on something, PHPBB?, that makes it dead-simple to make an app or point one master app at their particular forum). Also to your point about not having a mobile->desktop redirect - I hate this. My roommate and I are looking to buy a house and he spends most of his time looking for houses on his phone (in class) so the links he posts on the Trello, that we are using to keep track of the houses, are all mobile. They often don't have as many pictures of the house as the full site does and the controls are often awkward to use. Worse yet, simply removing the "m" from "m.sitename.com" doesn't link to the desktop version and I often have to copy the address, go to the main site, and search for the house to find it.
