@servo launch sponsorship tiers to help fund more rapid development:

IMO Servo is still our best chance at a fast, modern alternative to Chrome's Blink renderer taking over the web.

Tiers start at as little as $100, but if you don't have that to spare, consider sharing to try and reach potential sponsors who do!

I'm gonna make a prediction:

This year someone will attempt to rewrite pipewire in #rust and market their project to get contributors onboard.

By common experience it will by next year that they realize how much thought went into pipewire and neither project gets the development and progress it deserves
