Firefox has one thing going for it right now. It's the go-to browser for people who don't want big corporations owning their Internet experience. They don't want Google spying on them, Apple holding their hands, or Meta mining their online existence.
AI does all of these things. Know your audience.

Mozilla announces that Firefox will become an AI browser and the internet is definitely not at all happy about thishttps://proof.vanilla.tools/pcgamer/articles/edit/8Gim4re55Y8TbMqBAchcEC

Mozilla is one of the few organizations that has near-universal respect in the security and privacy community. However, alternatives exist today that didn't exist in years prior.
Removing ad blockers would earn Mozilla some money in the short term, but the long-term damage would be unrecoverable.

📝 Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
In an interview with "The Verge", the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least...

Gotta hand it to Krispy Kreme for the execution on the Harry Potter donuts. Nice design and decent flavors. Only complaint is that my house, Ravenclaw, has the smallest and least fancy donut.
Also, JK Rowling’s personal views are not my own… at all.

Perhaps one of the coolest breakdowns of how one of the world's most popular children's shows came to life.
How we built Bluey’s world: tales from original series art director, Catriona Drummond
Catriona walks us through the creation of the beloved cartoon’s scenery and backgrounds, from its dollhouse proportions and subtle doggy details, to its distinctly Brisbanite atmosphere.

Planning a project with my 8-year-old son to get him into some coding and #gamedev. He really loves Stardew Valley, Terraria, Minecraft, etc.
Other than RPG in a Box... what is a good easy way to get him started on learning how game development works?

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

The whole tech world needs more projects that aren't trying to become billion- (let alone trillion-) dollar ideas, but are happily shooting for success as million-dollar ideas (or less!).
