Mozilla just laid off 70 fantastic people. If you can help them - open positions, offering helpful conversations and references, anything else - please say so.Use #MozillaLifeboat as an umbrella tag for easy finding. (It's already flowing on the birdsite.)If you've been affected, I'm happy to chat directly. Also have some open positions (see rest of this thread). But doesn't have to be today - take time to recover if you can.Most of all: thank you folks for making the web better.

@ericbrookfield @clive This happened to me recently too, and seems to be the case with most clickers: I get utterly consumed by Making The Numbers Go Up

Back to London (again)This time mostly to help parents, but there’ll be some free time, and I would be ecstatic to meet up if you’re around (whoever you are)in the meantime: waiting to board at SFO with little to do but whine about the commercial food hellscape so be grateful you’re reading this here and not on Bluesky where I’m just banging on and on about how the food court is selling this tuna sandwich for $12.65

Please forgive me for boosting The Orange Site here but this is for my fellow alter kakers who still get lost in nostalgia for early web dev:Someone posted the original Netscape & Sun press release announcing JavaScript, and all the commenters are responding as if it’s 1995, which is lots of fun in itselfbut it also produced this comment about Java & JS that needs some kind of troll awardhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36788951

Hey @simon, how's this for some uncanny timing: "A marketing team within media giant Cox Media Group (CMG) claims it has the capability to listen to ambient conversations of consumers through embedded microphones in smartphones, smart TVs, and other devices to gather data and use it to target ads, according to a review of CMG marketing materials by 404 Media and details from a pitch given to an outside marketing professional."https://www.404media.co/email/7809f356-7231-4ad1-b6ed-6e57bbf1fb99/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter(via Stef)
