In case it wasn't clear what they're being paid for. Sheesh

The enshittification of Mozilla started when they hired a greedy suit instead of a passionate engineer.
They had no response to Node, V8, or Electron. They made no effort to catch up, either. Mozilla needs a purge of senior leadership, or it's going to zombie walk into irrelevance. I say this as a Firefox user.

I hate the color choice for the graph, I literally cannot tell which line is which. At least the data was down there.
- In the nicest way possible, you are likely colorblind then.
  It's green and orange, not exactly difficult typically.
  
  Oh, I'm aware of that, got tested long ago. I get this is not a problem for everyone, but one of the lines being red or blue would have taken no additional effort.
- You may very well be colour blind friend. Get tested for green-red specifically.

This graph makes it look like increasing the salary of the chair significantly slowed down the loss of their users, was this what you intended by it?
- From a page about geometric percent decreases, explaining that that kind of graph represents an unchanging loss of a percentage of the measured value every interval:
  The sequence 100, 50, 25, 12.5, … is a geometric sequence. The common ratio is 1/2. To go from term to term, you keep multiplying by 1/2 (i.e., dividing by 2).
  The graph of the sequence 100, 50, 25, 12.5, … is shown below:

Ahh the good old causation vs correlation curve. Back to school with you 🤣.
- Where was that stated?
  I read it as interesting rheirnsalarybwent up when what seems to be a key metric fell, hard.
  
  Where was that stated?
  I didn't say it was stated. Did you assume I was talking about this post? 🤔 Have you read any of the comments on the linked thread where this is from?
