So what does Zuck do when Trump uses an exec order to stay the ban and pushes Republicans to reverse it?

Yes, but only because the company that owns the patent isn’t American, and it would be an immensely popular move.

You’re a wombat.

Well of course. He’s a Wagenius - the evil mirror version of a regular Genius. Like Wario, or Waluigi.

Poor dude on the left is about to snap in half.

Yes, but Trumps policies will only benefit Tesla both in the US and abroad. This news isn’t relevant outside of the US, where more than 50% of EVs sold in America are Teslas.

Your point is valid, but irrelevant.

They meant where this news matters, in the US. BYD currently cannot sell passenger vehicles in America.

It’s less than $200 per statue. The company they’re contracting likely has a trip charge just to show up. 😂

That’s fair - I should have said major browsers to be more clear. Edited above.

The overwhelming majority of development to Chromium is done by Google and not the open source contributors to the project. Maintaining a browser is not something that can be done for free as a hobby. It requires an army of full-time developers to sustain.

Given all of the major browsers except Firefox are using Chromium, the best case scenario for spinning off Chrome is that Microsoft would pick up the lion’s share of development to keep Edge up to date.

This is the same reason that all of the major Linux distributions have large foundations to support them.

The DoJ would do less harm to the internet if they just forced Google to sell off Search instead. Then they’d be an advertising and cloud services company that happens to maintain a major browser to serve their ads.

 

Just a chill video in a series by the creator, Brady Brandwood, about a lobster he bought from a grocery store and rehabilitated into a pet. I appreciate the vibe that Brady puts into these videos and his clear admiration and care for Leon. Thought others might enjoy discovering them, too.

 

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
