Alternatively, it's funny that people write comments arguing that it wasn't targeted at Firefox users, on a post that already says that it wasn't targeted at Firefox users :P

We can do that when it's actually released; blogspam tries to publish on the expected release date before the actual release so it can scoop up the clicks. Release notes should be posted here later: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/120.0/releasenotes/
As I understand it, the blocker has website-specific rules to automatically click the right buttons. For the first release, they've probably primarily tested those with German websites. I assume that if it works well there and they've ironed out most bugs, we can see it roll out more widely.
They might be, but the signs so far have not been in that direction: here's Omtzigt saying he'd rather have a right-wing minority government over GL-PvdA, and here's him playing up how hard he thinks it would be to govern with them.
I'd be interested in knowing which coalition your colleague is thinking of, but when coalition negotiations don't work out, it's pretty much impossible to point fingers to a specific party - clearly none of the parties were prepared to give more concessions.
If PvdA-GL comes out on top, there is a chance for them to form a coalition with all the left-wing parties and one centre party. According to survezs most leftist Dutch people are aware of this and consider a tactical vote for PvdA-GL to get a more left leaning government.
I don't think there's a big-enough centre party that would go for that, and I don't think that's what GL-PvdA is aiming for either. Rather, if they don't come out on top, what's likely to happen is that the right and centre-right parties would try (and probably succeed) to form a coalition together. If they do come out on top, GL-PvdA will instead replace one or two of those parties in that coalition, going for something like GL-PvdA/VVD/NSC.
And then, of course, the question is what will happen to them in the elections after that. But I'm sure the PvdA is very aware of what might happen.
Meanwhile, Wilders, who wants the Netherlands to leave the EU, is currently polling as the number one in some forecasts.
In one forecast. Also the only one that has Timmermans' parties at #4.
I stuck with Toolbox for a long time because it was default, but then I wanted to be able to easily recreate my *boxes with the same set of packages when e.g. they broke for some reason, or because the distro they were built on released a new major version. Distrobox supports that with its assemble command, so I switched. Otherwise it's not too different really, for a casual user like me, and if I hadn't needed assemble, Toolbox would've been just fine.
(Except that I keep forgetting whether Toolbox or Toolbx is the correct spelling now.)
Not OP, but for me, the main benefit is how uneventful major distro upgrades are. Yesterday I updated to Fedora 39, and it was so anticlimactic to reboot and then be like: is it over? But that was really all there was to it.
Haha exactly, by that calculation $1 a year would cover you and two others. Get that family onboard :)
Signal had 40 million active users in 2021. With 14 million in infra cost, that comes to .35 per user/year. Total expenses are about 33 million, so about .825 per user/year. All in all that seems very reasonable.

So it should be pretty easy to cover your own costs and maybe that of a couple of friends to make the transaction fees worth it :)
I think Nebula aims to solve that.
