So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.

Drupal.org login flow is changing

The Drupal Association engineering team is preparing to switch over to our new single sign-on solution for user login. This is an important step in our work to upgrade Drupal.org, and in the future will give you the ability to use your Drupal.org identity in new ways.

Sometimes I think I would very much like to stop working and just spend all day every day doing hobbies that I never have time to do when I'm working, but then I have a week off and get to Friday and think "okay yup, ready to go back to the routine of work now".

I mean I'm still comfortable in my role at the moment but also I realised that perhaps #Drupal won't be around for the next 35-40 years of my career so maybe. just maybe. worth thinking about other things too.

Wondering lately about career progression and what I would want my role to be:

it would be so interesting to be a coach of some kind within agencies to facilitate supporting folks with disabilities or neurodiversities, either from the management side (helping put support in place) or the individual side (helping folks define their needs and supporting them in asking for accommodations).

does that even exist? what training would be needed for that? how do you even start!
