I think that’s very unlikely; this PR was delivered pretty much word-for-word with a different partner earlier this year: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox-partners-with-qwant/

imo this is just your standard PR announcement of a partnership between two known entities which will get people talking before they forget about it

for a stream of confident bullshit you can doxx yourself senseless, what a joy!

lmao

the hallucinations will continue until morale improves

Make Corporations Shut Up For Once

the tech CEO to right-winger pipeline is well greased in the year of our lord twenty twenty four

nothing of value was lost

I’ll take projection for 100, Alex

Chrome, brought to you by Palantir, heck, what if Musk bought it?

good point, I guess one worry here is about the way in which this will affect Firefox (note Firefox here, not the Mozilla Fdn who have managed to Elon their own thing without help, seemingly)

TILvids is for sure the answer here, well-vetted content and it’s run in a way that means it’s pretty sustainable

to me, shaving Android off their business (suggested next step if this fails) would be way more impactful

X the everything (except the guardian, ouest-france etc.) app

The Texas Photocopier Massacre

would expect that to just get fed into the model in order to make the image recs more personalised to be honest; can’t see a world in which more specific-to-content ads mean a business would miss out on the opportunity to also be specific-to-people.

it’s not a place for meaningful discussion and yet, it seems to have helped them move their project along; I’m not necessarily pushing echo chambers as a positive, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve really hurt rightists across the board in advancing their ideas

the right’s echo chambers (X, Truth Social) seem to have done very well for their abilities to succeed as a movement

we have moved to musk hating but i fail to see how all of it could be characterised as nonsensical; there are elements for sure

keeps em away from us to be fair
