@RickByers@toot.cafe A retirement hobby is natural and historical stewardship (I live in one of the oldest towns in Washington state, on an island whose relative isolation protected it from some of the "progress" of the last century). I've learned that citizens are MUCH more willing to volunteer for work parties that benefit a public or non-profit entity than those on private land that make a trail or old building available on a limited basis to the public

@RickByers@toot.cafe Google apparently funds > 90% of the cost of Chromium, but they also appear to get more than 90% of the benefit (judging by search market share anyway). Perception of unfairness works both ways: "We should invest an engineer-year in work that gives a competitor 90% of the benefit" is not a great story to tell one's Big Company bosses 🤷
