I tried something like that. What happened was that the free time I had left was completely unproductive. Doing unfulfilling work is exhausting, turns out. Not saying I have all the answers, just what happened to me. This fulfilling thing is hard.
Billions of people go to work everyday without doing it out of “passion”.

If I were to work there it wouldn’t be so much to be an open source contributor but to be at the core of modern web. I don’t have kids so I don’t know what that part is like, though.
The modern web where less than 10% will use it? How is that “the core”? That’s like saying that working at Apple and being on the macOS team you will be part of the core of PC operating systems.
But it seems that you just wanna piss on Firefox for market share reasons.

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).

However, there's one major way it's lackin…
Don’t try to make “matrix me” a thing, that’s the exact sort of thing that makes nerd decentralisation projects on the web fail outside of needing your own personal sysadmin to replace Twitter. It sounds dumb and matrix is known as a pain in the arse to use by people that have come across it, 1999 film otherwise
We have a word, it’s message.

Are you under the impression that Facebook doesn't have privacy guidelines and strategies for its users just because its privacy goals don't align with yours? Just because they aren't the bastion of privacy doesn't mean they disregard privacy completely. Simple example: If I set my profile to be viewable by friends-only, that is a privacy feature. There are 800 more examples like that pertaining to protecting user da…
Facebook is the opposite of a privacy bastion. If you have such privacy features, it's only to stay relevant in the market and maintain some degree of trust so users continue to publish their data. Facebook do not care about privacy, they track people everywhere they can. They accumulate data and sell the knowledge they collected. Engineers who really care about privacy do not work for Facebook like engineers who rea…
