Cars hit bicycles, (e)scooters, pedestrians. But for some weird set of reasons they still get the widest streets, the most parking space. Why?

Today is #Srebrenitsa #Srebrenica commemoration day. As a Dutch and European person, a day of shame for how we failed. But foremost a day of remembering those that were killed and a call to fight against the evil calls from supremacists everywhere.

So we started shipping WebRender in Firefox a few weeks ago. Completely new rendering engine written in rust, big departure from how we approached rendering before. We are gradually enabling it for different hardware/OS configurations and a couple of million users have it now.

This is *not* how big rewrites usually go.
