'If you didn’t notice, there’s a small camera that sits at the top of some of these screens. These cameras are used to track and identify the behaviours of everyone who walks by — you’ll find no signs up to explain this. Children are also included in their profiling, which I discovered based on a conversation I’ve had with Orb on the phone.'

Hey guys, I've set up a Patreon for those who are interested in helping with the cost of hosting this instance.

I've now had to upgrade servers twice and I'm starting to have to pay more per month to host this than I am comfortable with.

In no way am I trying to beg for money or turn a profit off of this instance, but if you are interested in helping, pitch in. It doesn't matter how much. Anything helps.

Woo! I released software again today - Snooze Tabs v1.0.17, an experimental Firefox Test Pilot feature.

Neat thing is other folks did almost all the work for me, since this release is mainly centered around the 23 locales for which there are now translations! The Mozilla localization community has some really nifty hardworking folks.

@RickByers Great article. I wish more web developers/designers thought this way. If you just have *one* person on your team using Firefox or Edge or Safari, you're going to catch so many bugs you wouldn't catch if everyone were using Chrome or Chromium-based browsers.
I'll start with a productivity tip. In my workflow, I always branch off from master. When I'm done or need to switch back to master, I would type "git checkout master". Merging the previous branch would then be "git merge branchname". As it turns out, there's a shorthand for that, just like on UNIX when navigating folders. You can make use of "-" as a reference to the previous branch. That way, going back and forth is as easy as "git checkout -" and "git merge -". Awesome.
