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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

I think the problem isn't about effort. Its something people aren't aware of(myself included).

Orange and red would be a bad decision, and green and red would also be impossible to distinguish if you’re colorblind.

You'd think this would be a basic usability thing. Just use colors that aren't a concern for colorblind folks. It's not hard.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is hard. Not everyone knows what colors are a problem for colorblind people. There are also many types of color blindness.

The most consistent contrast I've found with my handful of colorblind friends is blue and green

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I mean most people aren't aware of what colour's are bad for colourblindness, also orange and green make sense based on the content, Firefox is orange and money is usually green.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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:
