American here. I was at a party when I saw the news and gleefully announced it to the table I was sitting at. We were all pleased with both the result and the concession.

...we know.

Oh dear.

I've been avoiding Chrome-based browsers for many years now but have only recently become aware of how catastrophically low the Firefox market share is. I'm kind of shocked that more people aren't choosing to avoid Chrome.

For all of the article's brown-nosing, there doesn't seem anything particularly groundbreaking about this thesis: the internet was once thought of as a mechanism for the unvarnished spread of information and is now utilized by those with power and influence as a mechanic for careful information control. Am I missing something?

Hilariously, the article manages to have a right-wing bent to this revelation, as though it's those insidious liberals buying up the world's information streams and intentionally breaking them.

Okay, buddy.

I didn't realize Firefox's market share had gotten so low. Now I'm sad.

Need is definitely too strong a word, but I think we can agree that uv has so far been the best solution to a problem that plagued python development for a really long time.

At least we know what the solution should look like now, and now we can rewrite it in Python and make sure it works with pypy so it's fast.

As someone who loves Astral and hates OpenAI, this is making me pretty sad.

And this is how you get Moltbook.

That can't be whole story, though. They're still profitable.
