For anyone else wondering WTF SAE is:
Tools and fasteners with sizes measured in inches are sometimes called “SAE bolts” or “SAE wrenches” to differentiate them from their metric counterparts. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) originally developed fasteners standards using U.S. units for the U.S. auto industry; the organization now uses metric units.

Yeah, we’re not arguing against landfills as a general concept. But they’re still basically the least bad solution, when all the good solutions don’t apply or got ignored.
Not producing that garbage in the first place is the big one. Most products in supermarkets are wrapped in trash, even though lots of them could be sold in reusable containers, or at least in biodegradable or recyclable containers. But burying trash underground is assigned a lower price than sending reusable containers back to manufacturers, so that’s what every company does.
The difference is the amount of trash and that more of it is not organic, so will not break down. A small hole in someone’s garden, which largely decomposes over a few decades, is a very different thing than a mountain filled with trash that stays there for the next generations.
For example, groundwater can get contaminated by landfills, if they’re badly planned, or when an earthquake tears the ground under them apart.
What is this article talking about? That’s a UX change. It has nothing to do with privacy or Mozilla’s commitment to privacy.
Yeah, for me, the big thing was that I only found out you could test-run Linux without installing after I had made the decision to install it. Of course, having no real clue what I’d get into massively delayed the decision…
