@scottytrees @jon Somehow the idea of contributing (let alone donating) to a proprietary technology seems off. I'm old enough to remember when volunteer work was only socially acceptable in the nonprofit sector, before unpaid internships and the like were invented. Of course, Mozilla is gaming nonprofit status in various ways and also dealing in binary blobs. The sad truth is that there are no good answers. I think this is because the web standards have become too complex to be implementable at garage project scale.

@wdlindsy The media want a horse race, especially with a photo finish. That's baked into their business model, so there's probably no point in trying to appeal to their better nature. If there's cause for optimism, it's that media that are trying to engineer a photo finish will be biased in favor of whoever they think is losing. If there's cause for pessimism, it's the elephant in the room. About 40% of the electorate is fascist.
