Hahaha I got around to seeing this just now and that was crazy.

Only thing is when it came to Google I started wondering who would gain from the break up in this administration. And thought of Musk coming in to control the most popular browser in the world with chrome and phone OS with Android.

So I can't help but look at this with skepticism. And he'd probably receive Russian and Saudi financial backing to purchase and control whatever is up for grabs like was rumored with Twitter when it came to how he came up with the money

This hasn't been normal times and rules and laws don't apply.

Yeah seeing how elated he is being an absolute asshole with starlink he must be bursting with joy at the thought of chrome and android in his possession too.

Under normal circumstances, but i just have this suspicion that Musk will buy it using Russian and Saudi funding like was rumored for where he got the funding for Twitter.

So whether that would be a better situation I guess is up to interpretation.

Non profit under this US administration who's mantra is what rules? Seems highly optimistic. I see it being more likely that Musk takes the opportunity to try and get the most popular browser and phone OS that is used world wide.

That regular people would stop using chrome if it turned into xhrome is highly unlikely. These are people who browse without adblocker, use facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and buy Amazon echos. It'd just lead to Doge influencing the direction of xhromium based browsers.

If that happened which would not surprise me with how ridiculous US government has been I'd be open to using Samsung's Tizen over Doge controlled and influenced Xdroid.

Xoogle and Xdroid run by doge.

I remember when Chinese phones used to have a thriving custom rom scene. Then one by one they started locking their crap down or making tools available for it poor enough that custom rom support died out.

In the past would be celebrating. Now I start wondering what is the worst outcome of this, and I see musk using this opportunity to buy and control the most popular browser on the market.

For those who care OnlyOffice has ties to Russia

I use libreoffice.

People can just use Mario's bro and if they censor Mario then Nintendo's green bro. I wonder if people will use this opportunity to make Nintendo a word that ends up having to enter review.

I wouldn't expect much from a grifter who was involved in nfts.

Yeah and people like us are the most likely to recommend alternatives to Gmail to regular users who likely don't go out of their way searching for other options.

It is listed in their community page which adds to the confusion.

I checked since I wondered if there was some other place they are active on other than reddit and Twitter, and if they had their own forum.

Proton marketing itself on privacy while recently calling out the danger of tech oligarchs makes their decision to leave Mastodon and keep using Twitter very confusing. Lot of mixed signals.

Yeah and their battery tech is just far beyond other countries. Was the main driver in convincing me to sell off Tesla and move to BYD couple months ago.

I moved out of Tesla to BYD stocks couple months ago just based on the output and price of their cars and feeling that tariffs aren't going to keep them out forever. Looking good so far.
