The Mozilla layoffs ... will get worse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's signal doing now?
To be clear this is tin foil... But the vibe is the same.
Mainly, they get decent budget and staff but they are not pushing the product forward. They don't care about mass reach or usability, they cover this with claiming that their core audience is a journalist living under an oppressive regime when their user is tech nerd in the west.
Either way there better solutions for that kind. It just doesn't feel like they competing here.
Kinda like Firefox stop pushing the edge.
Signal does a decent job of encouraging people to make one-time or ongoing donations to the service. I’ve supported them multiple times because they gave me a prompt to do so.
I don’t recall Firefox ever asking for a donation or subscription.
