Which has done more to prevent Chrome’s complete dominance - Apple or Firefox? Besides, WebKit is open source. Google could kill Firefox by just not renewing its search contract.
Mozilla would go with another partner and/or change their structure to accept donations for the browser. If money wasn't a consideration perhaps ddg become a good partner. That combo could shift as much as 5% of google traffic away from search.
Google pays Apple a reported $8 billion a year to be the default search engine for iOS. It pays Mozilla less than $600 million (https://www.cnet.com/news/google-firefox-search-deal-gives-m...).
Doesn’t that tell you how little Firefox traffic is worth?
Are there other sites springing up to help the other 10 million unemployed and recently laid off people in the US who didn't work at high profile tech firms?

Every time 'Element' (The Matrix chat app) gets a mention, it resorts into questioning the name or a disambiguation. The technology, product and pricing with the deals they are making with multiple governments and businesses is an excellent source of revenue and is very competitive at striking those deals. However the genericness of the name will be a problem with non-technical users and will always be an issue with…
Folks, it's been like 3 weeks since we renamed Riot as Element, and (picking DDG) it's already the 18th hit from the top. Riot was 4th at the point we renamed it (second only to RG). Meanwhile it's already the top hit on the Play Store. So give it a few more weeks :) In terms of the name itself, I personally think "Let's talk on Element" is at least as catchy as "Let's talk on Riot", although it's touching to see fol…
Element (the company from the Matrix.org core team) is super interested in providing refuge to Mozilla folks - we share the same goals of building the open web, albeit with a focus on open communication. (We'd put ourselves on the mozillalifeboat.com page, but I somehow doubt our Mozilla alumni uses FB... :D) Particular areas that may be of interest include developer documentation (making https://matrix.org/docs/spec…

So it's not actually 3-D, you shift, scale, and rotate the 2-D elements so it appears 3-D? Or are you rotating it along Z in some way. It's a really good effect. That's some skill!
Yup! Here's the base SVG I started with: https://p195.p4.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/OAuqBqvx/boat.s... Everything else is just CSS!

I didn't get everything bc you can only get so far looking at the output CSS - he used Stylus here to generate most of these https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24138573
I hope the formerly Mozilla employees all find roles quickly, but I suspect that well more than 250 employees have been laid off since the beginning of the pandemic. Is there a particular reason why these layoffs need exceptional response?

I really like the philosophy behind the project and I will check it out. I would, however, recommend maybe marketing it in a different way. Let's say Slack added every single one of these features on the Element home page. My guess is they wouldn't market any of these same features on the home page because they really aren't what you use the app for (which I take it is messaging). While I agree that Element seems much better than Slack in what makes it unique there's nothing telling me that's it's easier to use than Slack. There's really even nothing telling me it's even easy to use, or fun to use, or will help me communicate better with my team.

Man, I’d really love to see Matrix to become a standard. I’d love to use it as a major goto chat/communication tool but i get frustrated with UX. Pls pls, don’t screw it.
Not just the UX. It's dog slow. I've never had a good experience using it, no matter how much I want to like it.

Thank you to the MDN and Servo teams for all their hard work. Gutting the Servo team makes me wonder if management is going to move the rendering engine from Gecko to Blink. Perhaps the "Foxium" browser is "coming soon."
Had the same thought and it felt terrible. Couldn't they at least try what almost all other advanced open source organisations seem to do? Branch out a consultancy in their field of expertise that maintains an incredibly famous piece of open source code on the side to show off?
