Does anyone know how the 3d effect in the header was achieved?

It's surprisingly simple! I designed an SVG quick in Sketch, and did it in a way where I can shift things left to right. Then a few CSS animations just move things left to right. When rotated, it looks like it's rocking!

Here's the initial SVG: https://p195.p4.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/OAuqBqvx/boat.s...

Everything else was just CSS

It's very weird that Mozilla is laying off 25% of its workforce while at the same time spending oodles of cash on its Fix The Internet incubator. I'm not a business major; maybe this is normal.

Different people. Fire one side to fund the other. Many companies use COVID as an excuse to get rid of management mistakes too.

Given how different their missions are, I'm surprised to see Facebook on this list.

It’s easier to make change from the inside than out. I imagine more Mozillians probably means a stronger push towards E2E encryption, more data controls, stronger auditing, etc.

> Mozilla is laying off 250 people and planning a ‘new focus’ on making money

Well, they seem to have lost the focus of making an extensible browser (and mail client etc.)

But then, this decline was somewhat noticeable a decade ago alreadt, IMHO.

Facebook is not a democracy. There can be no change from the inside.

"Combatting a lethal virus and battling systemic racism" and now Mozilla Lifeboat.

I mean, WTF, maybe you should actually build a better browser than Chrome instead of doing politics.
