I think the biggest difference is the fact Google owns the majority of the web browser market share, but there’s more to the cases than “big company owns big browser,” it actually has to do with Google’s search engine deals (e.g. with Apple and Mozilla) and Google’s ad business stifling the industry.

Oh, it absolutely is, sorry if it felt like I was challenging that. It’s just a reminder to temper our hopes.

Sadly, Servo more or less halted when Mozilla laid off people in 2020. It only really started back up in 2023 when they secured new external funding. That said, I don’t think Servo intends to be a fully-fledged Browser like Ladybird. While LB intends to be a car, Servo plans to be a great engine, but only that.

…on the other hand, Ladybird’s lead dev seems like trouble. So maybe I’d rather wait for a Servo-based browser instead.

DOJ probably isn’t able to guarantee chrome & potentially android are taken over by totally ethical, stable companies/NPOs who will keep the projects open source

This doesn’t seem like their job. This is antitrust, as long as the result isn’t monopolistic, that’s it, no?

The monkey giggles. Mozilla completely pivots to adtech & AI.

Until they ban me, at least. I’m quite fine with that, though.

Saw a brother printer related post with the title striked out. Regardless of whether you agree with the edit or not, that felt kinda nice. Poor man’s community notes. Hated reddit news titles that became misinformation because crucial details came out after they were posted, and many people don’t read beyond the headline.

Welp, time to dust off the old reddit account. There’s people showing interest, asking genuine questions, and many opportunities to practice that rusted thing called kindness while answering them.
