I am sad to see the layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla plays an important role on the Internet. I may not always agree with the choices they make, but they still play an important role. in c/firefox@fedia.io

@ajsadauskas @popheads Liked her a lot. Same with Prince, DMX and others I had the chance to meet. Actually sat down talking with a few of them for 10-15 minutes to 2 hours+.

@ajsadauskas @ordellrb @eugenia Quite a few of us have done that through the last two decades or more. Why not?! If it's still useful, use it. I used a few older computers as print servers for businesses even back in the 1990's.
