• Announcing Earthly v0.7

  We do not take major or minor releases lightly at Earthly. We’ve never had a major release, and our last minor release was over a year ago, in December 2021 (read about it in Announcing Earthly v0.6). That’s because we know that the reliability and stability of your build and CI/CD processes are of the utmost importance. In every minor release of Earthly (and also eventually when we have a major release), all features promoted to GA have finalized APIs and have been through thorough testing. That’s why we are comfortable enabling all features promoted to GA by default.

• An Axios tech reporter on her favorite corners of the internet

  Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we are also quick to point out that the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for people to connect with others, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing. In My Corner Of The Internet, we talk with people about the online spaces they can’t get enough of, what we should save in Pocket to read later, and what sites and forums shaped them.
