How can a company started as a non-profit, have a subsidiary that is for profit? (Restructure this year). So basically like a quarter of the company is staying non-profit, and the rest is becoming for profit, and that's the portion external investors like Microsoft own stake in.
It just sounds like tax fraud from the start. "Legal tax holes" where the end costs will come out of the populations pockets and not the companies
Meanwhile NVIDIA is pulling an Enron by investing in companies that exist to purchase NVIDIA products, thereby funding their own revenue. Just plain old fraud.
Not just investing. They’re literally offering to buy any unused compute from these companies. So if they can’t sell the processing power NVidia chips provide, NVidia will pay them for it.
LOOOOOOOOL
That’s how Mozilla works too…
Mozilla is just as big of a scam and has had presence here on lemmy from the beginning. Anyone who thinks FireFox isn't a remote control car driven by Google and does there bidding is lying to themselves in my opinion. (It will get downvoted here) But if someone pays all your bills to stay alive, you aren't doing anything but what they say. If Mozilla wants to be a company that has something to say, they need to cut their contracts with Google. Up to 85% of revenue from Firefox comes from Google. Or as people like to say on here.. if 20 people sit down at a table, and 17 are "Nazis" the other 3 are as well.
So if Google is bad, Firefox is as well
You're probably not going to be downvoted for this. It's a commonly held opinion here. It's just that Firefox is the only other option than Google. It's not ideal, but it's better.
and forks depend on mozillas survival too.
I have no idea what you were trying to say...
no one likes mozilla but we tolerate it because its the only option we have
