I wouldn't say targeting specific users, but gathering information to build a target profile and then buy ad space on LinkedIn is something we might do.
thanks for the insight on building. I had been considering it, but this and other feedback is confirming it. I found out that posthog seems like a reputable company and offers cookie less tracking. -

I'm in a position to make decisions about our B2B product and the accompaning marketing site. This is a startup, so now's the time to set precedents before there's momentum and any sort of vendor lock-in. The only context I think is relevant is that my product is for medium sized manufacturing companies. Anyone visiting our site is doing it because they would be interested in it for their business.
I bring this up here because I know many people are privacy conscious and I want to nudge my company that direction. So I have two related but slightly different topics:.
- for our marketing site where people come to learn about the product and try to get in touch with us - What kind of "tracking" is appropriate to you? Hubspot is one of the industry defaults that was recommended we use. However I noticed that Firefox and privacy badger block it by default. If I were to try to build it myself, it wouldn't be third party, so I don't think anything would block it (I'm aware of people that block all JS, but I'm not gonna worry about that group for my purposes.) How do you all feel about first party usage tracking for B2B?
- Similar question here but for when people log into our product. We're looking at using posthog for this.
Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks.

I constantly have Firefox tabs crashing. I've tried most of the common suggestions and have spend several hours trying to fix it with no improvement. I've been a Firefox supporter for years and am really disappointed that I need to switch to some chromium variant.

I'm grateful I get to experience life.
I have 3 kids under 8 and the oldest is just now getting exposed to the concept of climate change but just like most people, we don't know exactly what's going to happen. He knows we care about recycling and green energy and I think our views on it are becoming his views.
Overall we focus on caring for other people, all people. it's going to take everyone contributing to get through whatever the future will bring us. I like to say "Never underestimate human ingenuity" and I truly believe we can do great things as a people. I'm hopeful that my kids will be a force for good in the world like I try to be.
I also have a 17 year old. That's a different story. she has a negative outlook on everything. I'm partially to blame, but she grew up mostly with my ex-wife. When it comes up, I do my best to impart hope.
The future has always been uncertain. A multi year drought, a plague, an invading army or a myriad of other things have caused incredible harm to communities. But we persevere, we adapt, and we move forward with the help of those around us. It's what makes us humans the dominant species on this planet.
But I'm biased because I'm a rich white guy in America.

It sounds to me like you would be wonderful parent and raise kids with values to help other people in an uncertain future.
My vote is have kids because they will be the best aspect of your life by a country mile. But I'm biased, I have 4.

I've had to come to terms with this recently that I'm just plain not good at games. I enjoy them, but can't play much of anything that's competitive because I never win. -

I've also had one of their slim keyboards for years and had 0 issues. Because it's all worked so well I got a new keyboard of theirs for my wife. There was an issue with the win/mac switch but I was able to easily open it up and reseat everything so the switch worked. I didn't even look up instructions, just started unscrewing things and it took 10 minutes from open to close.
I'm not a keyboard enthusiast or anything. I refuse to buy another since mine currently works great. However, if they ever release an ortholinear one like the moonlander, I might have to take the plunge there.

I haven't proven my trustworthiness to anyone that visits our site!
but I think I found a provider (posthog) I'm willing to trust instead of hubspot. and we'll use them in both places so that's nice.
thanks for the feedback on building it, it helped me steer the other direction.
