CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros
The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...
Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Old guy, here...
WTF is a "glowie"?
-
Terry A. Davis popularised the term. He was a software engineer that ended up with a very bad case of schizophrenia. While unemployed due to his illness, he streamed while working on his own operating system that he built with the intention of "communicating with God". While streaming, he used to go on these rants about how federal agents are spying on him, calling them "glowies" more often than not along the n word with a very hard r at the end. The term "glowies" has very racist associations.
In other words, you need to be somewhat fairly far down the alt-right pipeline if you actually talk about "glowies".

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it's a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that's probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

Glowie, also known as a Glown****, is a slang term popular on 4chan's /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users in order to bait others into sharing incriminating information.
In 2017, schizophrenic computer programmer Terry Davis, known for his TempleOS software that he claimed was dictated to him by God and meant to be God's third temple, made a video showing off various aspects of TempleOS. In the video, Terry says, "The CIA n*****s glow in the dark, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do."
The term "glow in the dark" refers to the obvious nature of their camouflage, leaving them exposed when they're trying to hide in the shadows.
In fairness to Brave CEO I did not know it had racist origins and only thought it referred to the last paragraph.

That's the problem with racist bullshit. They scrape the racism off and peddle it everywhere until it's widely accepted and not tied to it's roots anymore.
-
It's fucking weird that not 3 or 4 days ago.. I was literally reading about Davis. And the glowing CIA ranting that he was doing. Total coincidence
-
4chan adopted it from him iirc
-
I dont go on 4chan though, the only exposure I have to it is occasionally reading greentext vids/stories on other sites.
I was just on a random rabbit hole that Briefly involved templeOS and somehow ended up on the "hit CIA with your car they arent humans" video

Thanks for the reply!

-
It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"
-
That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.
-
The CIA relation is racist? Or the fact the chanoids added the n word at the end?
-
Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..
-
I blame 4chan's constant harassment of the man for his speech and early death. They invaded his live streams and gaslit him into believing, among other things, that he was in a relationship with someone else. Collectively, I think they're responsible for his suicide.
-
Didn't a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan
-
Basically, KiwiFarms were formed by people who were too much for 8chan, which was formed by people too much for 4chan, which was formed by people too much for Something Awful.
Free speech absolutism was a mistake...
(If you ask: there are now people too much for KiwiFarms, usually those that also want to torture animals rather than going after animal abusers for internet cookie points)
-
It's been a while since I watched a documentary about him, but apparently it was both... Either way, incredibly horrid treatment.
-
-
-
If he was being watched by 4channers. He'd be reading their language and using said language mixed with his own. I don't remember any of the clips I saw of him saying it but I'm not eliminating that it may have happened
