I hope the folks laid off land on their feet.
I'm starting to think FF is being deliberately run into the ground by the higher ups. It would be good to hear from some of the devs about their thoughts on all this.

I thought that was Xander from Buffy at first.
Limited experience with the binary repo but here goes.
I switched over a samba and sftp file server that I don't need to customise with use flags. Along with installing and configuring gentoo-update from the guru repo to handle updates this box pretty much looks after itself now except for kernel updates/reboots and config updates which I need to look in to. I noticed when I enabled the binary repo and updated the system that a lot of packages if not most were available as binaries.
I switched over a desktop system that is basically a tv these days (it's an old dell aio with ok speakers etc). This box has plasma installed and I noticed that some packages don't appear to be included in the binary repo such as the infamous qtwebengine. I say appear because I haven't delved too far into it. I can always exclude the packages that pull in this and other bottlenecks if I want so I might go down that route eventually. Again, a lot of packages just get installed from the binary repo if they are available but I couldn't tell you percentage wise or which ones.
Why have you listed K-9 Mail as 'No donations/premium possible' when it's possible to donate to Thunderbird of which K-9 Mail is a part of?
Was that the one you could use to set callback alarms as well?
Why not? Best of all worlds. Convenience of a binary package repo along with the benefits of still being able to use portage and use flags for packages where the default build doesn't meet your needs.
How do you rate these cameras against the competition?
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while.
Thanks for the heads up about FOSS pod. Had not heard of it before.
It would be great if there was at least once instance that was federated to most of the other instances (except Nazis and porn) just so lurkers could keep track of what's being posted via 'Recently added'.
Does anyone know of an instance that does something like this?
