Crossword, mini and midi missing from app?

Definitely geo-fenced - I'm in Australia up until today I had the Mini but not the Midi. Now I don't have either.

Used a VPN to connect to the US, restarted the app and both Mini and Midi appear. Disconnect from the VPN, restart the app, and both gone.

This has been reported and investigated by Firefox's webcompat team - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2020904

I assume their webdevs opted to unsupport Firefox as a result of a change of behaviour resulting in a javascript error - the "Oops! That wasn't supposed to happen!" message.

The website removes an iframe, and then later tries to set a timeout on it. In Chrome/etc this is silently ignored, while Firefox throw an NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED error. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021289 (this is fallout from a change made in Firefox 148 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543435)

That's run by Mozilla for exactly these sorts of situations.

They have various options, including but not limited to reaching out to the website's owner or shipping a "browser intervention" for site-specific overrides.

This is 100% the correct thing to do.

I guess things must be different in your corner of Australia; in Perth, at least, it's pretty well all double brick.

Mid-size game company in Japan asks potential recruits to draw in front of them to avoid generative AI fraud

Ain't that what the probation period is there for?

Onboarding a new engineer into a project/team is a large investment; their impact is initially negative as they draw time from established team members to bring them up to speed.

This, coupled with the large amount of time it takes to go through the hiring process, means it's in the hiring manager's best interest to ensure they are bringing the most viable candidate onboard.

Yes, the probation period exists as a means for both sides to ensure they are happy with their decisions, but it's the last checkpoint not the only one.
