This is just a taste of what's to come from a Mozilla led by Laura Chambers, the new CEO. We should not let her get away with making these decisions as the faceless Mozilla, and we should make sure that the communities impacted by her decisions are made aware of who is responsible for them.

Not to mention that some jurisdictions require windows in every bedroom, so you end up with some very weird layouts.
And they looked the same, no cover or anything??!!
They have their pros and cons. I wore a uniform to a public school (Australia) and it definitely meant that I had one less thing to worry about every day: being judged by what I wore. As an adolescent that meant a lot, and getting the freedom to wear whatever as an adult has meant that:
-
I got to learn what's appropriate before I got that freedom and
-
I had the maturity to not care what others thought about how I dressed.
Seriously, it's 2024. Everyone has to use technology now, so the software should reflect that. UX is probably one of the big barriers to widespread FOSS adoption.
As someone who used LaTeX in secondary school, this is definitely not applicable advice to everyone. Great if you're doing maths or other technical subjects, but superfluous if you're doing anything else. Doubly so for someone who isn't a great typist.
Huh, TIL. That actually makes sense
Order matters in academia whether the authors want it to or not. Other academics will look at the order of the authors and make judgements based on that, so you'd have to specify something like "authors listed alphabetically".
It's intentional. They see words as magic, and if you have the right combination of words spelles the right way you can convince the government to let you do whatever you want.
Huh, guess I was wrong. Would be nice if they laid that out a bit more explicitly in the article
