But if you have a very specific topic around, you can create groups with Teams.
I remember my aunt saying that she went to a Santana concert in the 70s. She only remembered that "there was a lot of smoke in the room." Did it change her forever? Maybe not, only she knows. But even single experiences can have long-lasting effects that, I'm sure, we'll never be capable of sharing fully.
I now see that I didn't understood your comment. Yeah, the vinyl form was interesting back then (because it was cheap) but it sounds like shit to me now. But you see this everywhere a company sees a trend and exploit it: anime figures, nostalgia, ... You can't do anything about it anyway, I gave up on that a long time ago. I draw the line where the whole music itself is disconnected from what you are trying to achieve (treating it as fast food, buying manga in Japanese without being able to read Japanese, any kind of collecting that you don't have the skills to experience...)
One last thing though. You can have better music than all the CDs in the world if you are looking for a private or concert experience. It all depends on what you seek. Woodstock guys thought they would change the world (and they did in their own way), and the Beatles got their own spiritual/mystical experience in India (which George Harrison used to add the sitar in some songs).
You call learning, making mistakes and fixing them, and improving "a bump"? That's the whole point.
> That’s necessary for learning
You haven't learned anything in the end. I read a lot of programming books in the past thinking I would be a computer god at the end, and I realized I learned nothing because "I did nothing" exactly like what we have with ChatGPT.
Mozilla could have added years ago a donation or subscription to fund the development of Firefox, but they don't want that. Mozilla wants all the money for its charitable activities instead.
There will be a time when they have no money anymore, but it's only their fault.
Also angry crowd: "No, not ads or AI, it's stupid."
What was your point anyway?
Librewolf has sensible but annoying default settings that you have to change. For example, cookies are deleted when quitting, or you can't have night mode out of the box since it could be a privacy issue. IMHO it's a cleaner Firefox and I enjoy it so far.
> We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses
The text is confusing on purpose and mixes Firefox, the Mozilla Services (Sync maybe? That's it?), AI, and their new AD-platform (without mentioning the last two). And why are they talking about a license when it's a ToS? Everything is confusing about it, even their answers.
> to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible
The very same thing they did for more than 20 year without such a ToS? Why now? I think it's about AI and ads but I'm sure they are smarter than me and will explain everything in precise details to clear up such a "big confusion."
> we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox to perform your searches
That's a fucking lie of course. They did that last year without any issue. You can get the text from the search box (like mSearchBox->getText() in C++, wow I'm a Mozilla engineer), and put that in the URL of my favorite search engine as part of the query.
> or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice
I don't care about the ownership, I want to know why, why now, and I want them to explain all the details that definitely do NOT appear in their Privacy Notice.
My conclusion is that they are moving away from Firefox for some reason, they pretended to fire the last CEO which keeps on working on the AI, and they want a lot of information like everyone else which is difficult when you're supposed to be the open-source knight of privacy.
But I'm only typing that because I am bitter and have already moved on. They fucked with us too many times, I don't care anymore even if the only alternative left was Links.
It works fine, even with JS disabled.
They hide it mostly to their family, but other human beings are treated like NPCs.
For example I live in the south of France and people are literally crazy on the road but they still avoid accidents by some kind of miracle. These are people from all sex, color, and age. The good middle-aged white father becomes a fucking moron when his car is turned on. The young new mom who pretends to love her children is speeding on the road like an idiot.
Society accepts that or turns its head the other way not to look at it, but it’s definitely around us and I see it every time I go to work.
Last but not least, he back-pedaled because he’s a fucking idiot full of drugs.
I’m a big privacy advocate but when you are handling a killing machine on a public road, there is no privacy IMHO.
Your CTO is an idiot but you can't change that. My first idea would be to write a good resume and start finding another job. The whole description confirms that. I have worked for a lot of companies from the smallest to the biggest and it's always the same scenario. If everything is THAT bad, your only chance is to leave. It would take years to change that company, and you would have to accept a lot of refusal before anything changes.
Also don't focus too much on AI, there are a lot of good jobs unrelated to that topic.
I'm not an AI guy, but I would focus on what you don't know now and which may be useful in the future. Maybe Docker for the Devops and GitLab/GitHub for the pipelines (always useful), and some Python/uv/Ruff which seems missing from your description (AI scientists seem to love their Python).
You could add unit-tests and code coverage in JS or Python, and maybe a compiled language like Java/C++ or a functional language to get a broader view of other languages.
But all my pieces of advice are for what you would do at your next job. I tried to change companies before but I became bitter and found better elsewhere.
Last but not least, the skill that I lacked the most was the ability to talk to actual users or clients, and make sure that their demands/specs were well written and handled. It makes a lot of difference.
Fix that. And when it's enabled all the twitter links are broken anyway. Find a way to show something useful on that landing page without downloading 100 MB of JS files first.
Last but not least, users may not be the best clients for you as they always need random impossible things, and they may not be prepared to pay for all the crap they are asking on twitter. I guess that most of the time it's joking or venting.
Imagine giving you car to strangers who will use it as a public trash can. You would need a hard societal change for people to respect other people's property.
I'm 50 and WTF does that mean? You were still a teenager a few years ago.
If the bank had no office it wouldn’t be cheaper.
