What a load of shit. The TL;DR: near as I can tell is that because Individual cells can survive outside of the body they're arguing that's a 3rd state that's neither alive or dead.

Buckle up, this shit is just getting started. The US economy is going to be utterly fucked with the donvict and muskrat running things. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we actually see mass starvation in the US before this is all over. Not because there's no food, but because a large swath of the public just can't afford it.

Warum nicht Deutsch? Oder beides. Beides ist gut.

Hmm seems like it's only partially true these days. Looking at their webpage they have a screenshot of their Wikipedia entry (why they didn't just link to it I have no idea) that provides some more up to date info. It was a testbed and they mention a project Quantum where the tech was added into Firefox's Gecko engine. In 2020 Mozilla laid off all their Servo devs and handed the project over to Linux Foundation Europe. It seems like since then they've reenvisioned the project as an embeddable rendering engine similar to WebKit or V8.

Edit: Further details available on the Wikipedia page. In particular this last paragraph seems highly relevant:

In January 2023, the Servo project announced that new external funding had enabled a team of developers to reactivate the project.[23] The initial roadmap focused on selecting one of the two existing layout engines for further development, followed by working towards basic CSS2 conformance.[24] In February 2024, at FOSDEM 2024, the Servo Project team outlined their plans for a 'reboot' of Servo.[25]

It seems like the 'reboot' is focused on turning it into a competitor for WebKit/V8. Looking at the projects roadmap it seems there are currently no plans in the works to make it a proper standalone browser.

Servo isn't a full browser, it's a tech testbed for Mozilla to test out their various rewritten Rust components. I wish they would have promoted it to full browser status, but I think intention was always to take pieces of Servo as they were completed and drop them into Firefox.

We literally just saw a child die from an entirely preventable disease just this week. A child in the US, died from measles. Something we've had readily available vaccines for for many decades.

Hmm without seeing what was said it's hard to say if this was justified or not. Certainly some of the things mentioned would warrant at least a warning about using work tools for personal discussions, but some of the other examples given don't seem particularly problematic (except that the current administration has decided to launch a jihad against specific ideas and minority groups).

Alternative more accurate headline would be "Most Americans are really stupid and ignorant and actually believe the things Fox News (or worse) reports are even remotely truthful".

Ah, I see the confusion. Originally you mentioned two Proton services, password manager and email provider. The person who replied to you suggested two alternative password managers (one commercial, the other one FOSS). You then replied saying without a specific email feature it would be pointless, which would be fair for an alternative email provider but doesn't apply in this case.

What do you mean by email aliases?

At this point I'm expecting Trump to just go full mask off and set up a bank account to directly receive payments from Putin and whoever else feels like bribing him. Maybe launch it with a giant "foreign influence welcome!" sign.

I think the ones resigning were part of the old department that Musk took over and converted into DOGE, so they didn't actually join DOGE originally.
