Hope you get a job soon, keep on searching! Miracles happen when you least expect them :)

AMA with Firefox Leadership on Thursday (connect.mozilla.org)

It's possible to submit questions already. Getting a feeling there'll be some uncomfortable ones; we'll see if they dare to engage with those.

A lot of the frustration that people have stems from Firefox's deeply flawed financing model, whereby the focus can never be solely put on the quality of the browser. Personally, with Google now being recognized as a monopolist and Mozilla in danger of losing 85% of its funding, I hope they can adopt Thunderbird's financing model (i.e. donations).

Now that they're not doing fundraising for lawmaking and/or grassroots activism because their advocacy team shut down, I hope they'll get a few people together and start to raise money from the user base.

This could be a very positive change for Mozilla if they play it right.

You have just convinced me to put "visit a 7-11" on my Japan bucket list*. I need to know what it feels like to print sheet music there.

There is an official subscription called Fairphone Easy being offered in the Netherlands exclusively. For other European counties there's Commown, but it's pretty expensive.
