  • From the article you linked:

    In return for Google being the default search engine in Firefox, Mozilla is expected to bank $400M+ a year.

    Literally what I am talking about. I can still switch away from the default. No other search companies are being denied access to being set as the default search engine in Firefox. Google just pays a premium so they are the default out of the box, which would not be anti-competitive under this order.

    bar the search giant from making exclusive deals to distribute its search or AI assistant products in ways that might cut off distribution for rivals.

    This by definition does not cut off their distribution in Firefox. Google can still make this deal with Mozilla. It is not an exclusivity deal, it’s a default search engine deal. Exclusivity or cutting off distribution would be making Google the only search engine option in Firefox.







  • Some of it is worth money but it’s not being sold or anything.

    My mother refuses to admit she’s a hoarder, and none of her things are really valuable. She’s clean, it’s not like she lives in filth, but she lives in 4000 square feet (main floor + basement) and has three full wall closets plus a room in the basement all filled with every item of clothing she has ever owned. I can barely fill a small closet with all my clothing. Her closets aren’t small, either. They are about 15 feet wide, each. So three 15 feet wide closets absolutely crammed with shit, and each one of them has storage space broken into three sections, about three feet tall each above each closet. Everything is crammed full. None of it is ever pulled out to be used for anything. She has all these things from her family she has kept for “memories” but 1. they mean nothing to me because I hate my extended family and 2. I won’t be able to afford to store them and won’t have reason to when she’s gone.

    I don’t fucking get it, it’s a massive house, and it’s just stuffed to the fucking brim with crap crap crap!
