๐ Mozilla Slopaganda โ David Bushell โ Web Dev (UK)
Mozilla published a new State of Mozilla. Itโs absolute slopaganda. A mess of trippy visuals and corpo-speak thatโs been through the slop wringer too many times.
I read it so you donโt have to.

๐ The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack
"What I do know is that the feeling of being overwhelmed, of never being able to keep up, of having strong opinions about everything and confident understanding of nothing, is not a personal failing. It's a predictable response to an impossible situation."

- Started season 6 of Homeland.
