Which pretty much points to Google being the actual competitor who is behaving in an anti-competitive fashion. However, as Google is their main source of revenue, Mozilla realistically can't bite the hand that feeds it.

Actually, when mobile devices are thrown into the mix, the OS market share breaks down like this:

Microsoft may still command the lion's share of OS installations in the PC desktop market, but the PC desktop market is now a minority portion of the installed computing base. The question Mozilla should be asking is why aren't people using Firefox on Android.

If you think that's something, wait until you see what Apple's gotten away with on iOS.

Okay, I'm gonna pretend I don't know anything about downloading and installing a browser and just go the Microsoft Store and search for "Firefox". Yup, it's there. Now, I'll try for Google Chrome. How odd, it isn't available.

Surely the browser that you can't even get from Microsoft's app store would have less market share, right? Nope, according to the data, Chrome is still on top, despite the fact that you have to manually download and install it on Windows.

I doubt this occurred to Mozilla, but perhaps people just don't want to use Firefox? Crazy, I know.

Will they become Trainium Unobtainium?

Of course he had to buy Twitter first, which might go down in history as the most expensive "own the libs" purchase by an individual, ever. Personally, I think it's a sign democracy in this country isn't working properly when someone with that kind of money can press on the scales that hard.

Facebook is where all the normies are. It isn't about the EFF sticking to their principles, it's that on X they were shouting into a void. If you're not posting political ragebait, the algorithm doesn't give you the time of day.

I'm pretty sure the "open" part now refers to opening your wallet.

Lot of good it ultimately did, though. Last time I was crossing over a pedestrian bridge on my e-scooter, I noticed a sign informing that it's illegal to hold up political signs from the bridge. I should've taken a picture of it.

Florida actually has a lot of anti-protest laws of that nature. Step outside of the "free speech zone" or stay after the scheduled protest ends = free ride in a police car.

If you had the time and resources to fight it, you might be able to get it overturned as unconstitutional, but they figure most people aren't going to fight that battle, so you really don't have free speech.

The few times I've seen Nazis marching around, they were all wearing masks. You know, the same things they had a huge problem with during the height of the Covid pandemic. Probably because they don't want to be identified and fired from their jobs.

It never was about the masks, it was about that these sort of people just can't be decent human beings.

Hell to the naw. I do not miss T9 texting.

It's cheaper to move physical controls to a screen, so at least with those examples there was a profit motive in play. Folding phones, on the other hand, are always going to be more complicated to manufacture than a slab phone. There's no incentive make every phone a folding phone if people aren't going absolutely gaga over them. Most people find the crease and cheap plastic-y feel of the screen to be a bit objectionable, so it remains a niche thing.

If what we're experiencing right now is the Republicans "better energy policy", I'd hate to see their bad one. There is no possible way a hypothetical Democrat administration could've screwed the pooch on fuel prices any worse than they are right now. Imagining the price at the pump would be worse under Kamala is pure copium.

What Waymo also needs to do is use their lidar sensors to detect improperly parked dockless scooters, then forward that information to the cities so they can automatically fine Lime, Bird, Veo, et al. Then the scooter companies could retaliate by suing Waymo out of existence.

As the late Grumpy Cat wouldn't said, "I hope they both lose."

Don't worry, it's just a little prick.
