  • “now hiring”

    LinkedIn jobs everywhere also say they’re hiring, but you see the same jobs being listed 6 months later.

    Companies are projecting growth to try and convince investors that they’re still in the expanding phase of their growth cycle, but everyone is cutting left right and center.

    They absolutely will hire new people of course, you just have to take a huge salary cut. Less than what the current people at that company are earning.

    That’s what these jobs are advertising: “There’s work, but we need to know you’ll work for cheaper than our current new hires who we will promptly let go of. No severance, this job won’t last the year.”



  • Different distirbutrions subscribe to different “key servers” (is that the right term?) to validate that the packages they’re getting have been signed by the right people, and not by Dick Dastardly and his crew. LibreWolf isn’t your typical Linux package, but probably on the same trustworthy level as some of “extra” packages found in other repos. My guess would be Mint subscribes to the key server where the LibreWolf dev’s key exists, and Ubuntu doesn’t because Ubuntu has a very Ubuntu™ way of doing things (I’m being a snob here).

    So I think if you really want to use LibreWolf, you will have to manually subscribe to the keyserver where the LibreWolf’s dev key is, or manually import the key yourself to validate the package.

    Anyway, welcome to the wacky races
