I think they implemented parts of it into their Gecko engine. But they laid of all the Servo development team in like 2020 I believe.

Only recently when it moved over to the Linux Foundation has Servo started being worked on again

I believe the OP answered that in their second sentence.

> Very few people I’ve met with similar personalities are.

Yeah a friend of mine has the same issue. Said he got a notification his account was suspended and when he tried to appeal the decision he just gets an error.

His profile comes up with 'User not found' when I checked it. Very strange.

Re:We're moving to a four-day work week at Beacon on Tuesday June 07, 2022 @07:15AM (#31652471)
They have marketed this by saying they will be working 80% of the hours they use to work yet they want their employees to travel to the office? Surely the hours they've cut for their employees will now be lost travelling to the office and back instead?

I'd rather work a 5 day week if I could work from home then a 4 day work week and have to travel to the office

Re:We're moving to a four-day work week at Beacon on Tuesday June 07, 2022 @07:12AM (#31652451)
Yeah that surprised me too. Surely if they are able to get the same job done while working from home that would be the better option for everyone involved no?

As some employees may lose like an hour a day just to travel whereas that hour could be spent working on features etc. if they didn't have to travel into the office.

I instantly install this extension whenever I work on a new machine as I could not imagine browsing the web without it.

For that reason I just went looking for a donate button to help fund the project and it turns out they don't even accept donations
